We're sorry, but this Requester could not be reached.

anyone ever seen this before? I am guessing it is something along the lines of not being able to contact req you haven't done work for.

5s peepers: (idk why I called you that, moving on.)

Are pearls gemstones?

I go with yes for 5s.

But on this topic....swarovski crystals...like loose ones for pasting into scrapbooks. Gems? I've been thinking no...

and beads that come on a string...are those still loose beads?

Uh, I think the problem is more that it asks for the front and back of your insurance card not the screener part.

Although, making people return it if they don't qual I think is a ToS violation too. (form the new ToS stuff.) But mostly the personal info part. (I mean I don't think I've ever had insurance while an adult, so I don't know what insurance cards actually look like but I /think/ they have at least your full name on them.)

People actually DO steal insurance cards and use them for treatment (you can google medical theft). So, while that wasn't what was happening in this hit - people are generally careful with their cards.

Sometimes i say yes on the beads on strings if it looks like that's just a way for it to be packaged. Like they are used for other things not just left on the string. (Does that make any sense?)

As for the crustals I don't really know, any time they've come up for me (so far) gemstones hasn't been an option.

edit: lol crustals

Hey @Kat8mouse ... How close to goal are you? I have loved your updates and watching you reach your yearly goal this year! :moneybag:

It is a screener. There are SPECIFIC things in the hit that state "IF you answer to this question is NO, please return the hit because you WILL NOT qualify for the follow up."

Yet, I get about 40 out of every 100 hits where people still answer that and submit it. So, I was rejecting them because, I mean, honestly, it is right there. Duh...

My TO was getting trashed. Well, I mean, if you can't read the instructions...

So, I just decided to approve them all. no matter what.

The follow up study is done outside of MTurk and does ask for information that would verify that you are giving correct answers. People are flagging my hit because they state it is asking for personal information. I was asking for email before, so I removed that and just placed the link I was giving people right there in the hit. It is a screener to see if you would qualify for the follow up survey. I do get a kickback from it, so I dunno.

EDIT:

Honestly, it's probably the last time I run these. When the money is out, I am done. I just see the quality of answers and work and I am truly scared for any college study that is on here. I made it so obvious. I said DONT ANSWER THIS AND SUBMIT.... people did anyway. I can only shake my head.

This also leads me to take TO with a grain of salt and use it as a basic guide. I used to live and die by their ratings, but seriously... If the people posting reviews are that daft, then I can only imagine.

just as a rule of thumb, if you're posting a screener, you shoudn't reject the HIT because they answer the screening questions

that's the point of a screener, regardless of the fact that it was plainly stated in the questions portion, it certainly seems seedy

The real question here is "WTF is Health Insurance?" never seen it before

 

[ecko]

I have. I just looked/asked around for add'l contact information (luckily found it).

[Jaded]

Yeah, and I was doing that. Seriously, the first 100 that I posted a month ago I rejected 42. On a penny hit. That said DON'T CLICK HERE!

Honestly, that was almost 50% of the workers I got...

Thankfully, I only got hit on my TO once with those.

I have made over $400 so far this month so that puts me over $5,200. I actually hope to go over $6,000 for the year

Thank you. I may have answered that wrong once. (The bead thing.) But hopefully that won't lose me my qual!

I think you'll have to be consistently wrong on stuff to get it taken. I know I've missed a couple because I for some reason was putting that peaches were vegetables the other day because apparently my brain wasn't working.

So, I pulled the batch and decided to have some fun.

I miss playing CAH with my friends IRL because honestly, they got divorced or just plain suck anymore. So I play with you guys!

Search for the hit "MTC CAH HIT"

The code is "MTCCAH" Your answer should look like this. "MTCCAH Boogers"

Enter that, then your answer for an easy penny! lol, I know, I know. How generous of me!

Also, there are 70 hits available. So.. go HAM if you wish.

I'll post all the answers I get in the near future!

HIT Is live now.
