Payment Source Not Verified

Can you please clarify why client postings with Payment Sources Not Verified are not vetted ahead of time? I've encountered several occasions where these jobs turned out not to be legitimate. I'm not sure whether it's even advisable to respond to any of these postings. Please advise.

That the payment is not verified is not a problem.
It will only be a problem if you accept a contract before the customer verifies it.
So, this should not restrict you from submitting a proposal. Only, if you receive a contract, be sure to tell the customer that you will accept it the moment they verify their payment.
