There is no way this is legit.

They look a lot like those other scam ones.

you know what would be insteresting? a zoltars map. who is where that is getting so many, who isn't. and server location.
I haven't done them for a while until the last couple weeks when it's been slower, but still i never got more than 80 and that was
when i had very slow internet. which doesn't matter i guess.

I'd be interested in this too. Part of my problem is waking up too late, but I still feel like I struggle to get more than 50 or so at best.

Before everyone starts posting scammies again... they are stealing people's credit cards (or at least they were last time they were around)

Hate me all you want, I do these....Would do these all day everyday

I mean, as long as you're kosher with the idea that you might be getting paid via stolen CC/Payments info from innocent people, sure..

Doesn't mean it's a legitimate requester abiding by TOS.

Rather do this then do actual hits and they reject because they are getting free work. What comes around goes around. So I do both.

I never put in any CC information. Not sure how that was happening.

Short term, intermediate, long term?

They are paying you with stolen cards

Where does it say in TOS that you can't buy stolen credit card numbers off the darknet and use them to create and fund Mturk accounts that bring in ad revenue to your shitty website?

They're using other people's stolen CC info to pay YOU.

I guess you're fine with that karma coming back on you.

Not sure how it was happening either, but we talked to several of the 'requesters' and none of them knew what mTurk was and at least one mentioned fraud.

But we should probably move this to the thread linked a few posts ago. Anything else will be moved there.

getting acquired as a startup is like the dream. i'd stick with it just for the easy money for a few years then probably swap to real estate with the saved up funds but that's just me

Regarding the 2017 qual test hits, I have heard back from the requester:

Hi Rochelle,

Seems like there were several issues with this batch. I have cancelled it and will approve all work. Hopefully I will get this figured out and repost.

Thanks,

Yolanda
