Is this a scam or legit?

[Alia Bennett]

My husband and I are both on bigger pockets. We are looking for information and guidance for our first flip. Someone sent my husband a message on here claiming they have a do going on near us and they are looking for someone to work for them to oversee the contractors on their flip while they are out of town. This is a big red flag to me because obviously someone in the investing game would have trustworthy contacts to do those types of things for them they wouldn't just ask some stranger on a forum. My husband on the other hand thought he was getting lucky and making connections and message the guy back apologizing that we would be moving to a different city but that he appreciated his offer and advice. Do investors do this? Should we be weary if a stranger asks us to do something or help them? Am I worried for nothing?? Advice and information on this subject would be greatly appreciated thank you!
