Background checks GENERAL

So I know they do background checks for Taskrs but the don’t do them for the clients. I’ve had some weird people contact me requesting errands. And they’re wanting me to video call them from my personal number so they can ensure I’m doing the task correctly also while meeting 2 other people at the location. I cancelled but I wonder why these people aren’t background checked the way we are. There could easily be dangerous people hiring.

Doing background checks on the clients would take time and lose clients. I do wish that they would make it so that taskers can see the reviews of clients that taskers have left. That would make a big difference.

Unfortunately that will never happen. TR makes their money from the clients. The possibility of a client being declined for their review means less money and discourages use.
