I voted!
Question though, are we supposed to be able to see the poll results after voting? I thought for Crowd Pleaser the results are normally hidden. No big deal, just wondering if that was on purpose. :astronaut:
No, I forgot to check the hide results button you cheated! >.>

(It's fixed I think)

I need some advice. I did some off-turk work for a requester about 10 days ago. I had done a hit for him here and he asked if I was interested in more of the same work. I said yes, because they'd already paid me. I did the work, submitted it and got an email about 4 days later from him asking for an invoice from paypal. Paypal was being weird and wouldn't send the invoice, so I sent a requester for the money. Nothing happened in 2 days so I sent another email and he replied saying he didn't get a request and to send him a PDF invoice. I did that and today I get an email from someone else claiming they work for the requester, saying they need a W-9 to pay me. What do I do?
Maybe ask them to set up a hit for you. But IMO, it sounds like you just did a bunch of free work.

They will ask for a PayPal invoice because it helps them keep track of everything for tax records as it helps you. It's all in one place and not scattered everywhere plus you'd have to go a few extra miles to fake a PayPal invoice. But yeah, it sounds like you got taken. They pay through Amazon because they have to do so but any work you take off Amazon you can almost bet 60 percent of the time they will eventually screw you.

If they are actually working to pay you above board and send you a 1099 then the W-9 is a legit request. I haven't done work for requesters off site but I do a few other side gigs that require this. Instead of a SSN I requested an Employer Identification Number from the IRS for my little business. It's was quick and easy and is hopefully one small step to keep your SSN a little safer.
