I just got a message on Cloud Research that I have to verify my account or possibly have account suspended due to suspicious activity. Included in the verification process was a survey that asked a few questions including password for the account and to list all the other platforms I work on.

The only suspicious activity I am aware of is I've been doing a lot more surveys on there lately - but only because they made them available to me, LOL

Edit: Someone on Turkerview just posted link to Reddit post that includes:

Cloud Research quickly messaged me back and said that the email is not from them and they have blocked that researcher.

Time to change my password!!!!

Yikes! Thanks for the heads-up!

I get soooo many emails (and texts lately) telling me there is a problem with my accounts (various ones) I make it a practice to go directly to the account mentioned and checking for any messages re problems or seeing if I can sign in. So far, 100% of the time the messages have been fake!

This message I got was an alert for "conversations" within Cloud Research while I was logged in. Unfortunately, I put my suspicions aside because of that. Certainly won't happen again!
