I've noticed Acmes lasting longer since they stopped functioning on Firefox. I think maybe they're just too problematic for a lot of people to bother with now. I still do them if I can catch them since they work for me in IE.

Ok, so Penserra shows its true colors...

Some of the people I talked to were even the owners...

Here is the reply about the rejects...

It cost us one dollar to check because all we are doing is finding out whether they called or not. If you really did the work then let's have a discussion about the person called--because that person doesn't exist (which is the only reason why we reject) at that store according to our check but if you think we are wrong we will call again with you on a conference line and bring up the same name you furnished and we will pay you triple if we are wrong and we will reverse the reject. Want to take us up on the offer?
If not then we know what happened. Thousands of people game the system. If you're not one of them then we are happy to make it up the way stated, if you are one who games it then do what you will but our next step will be to not just reject you but also ban you from being able to participate in our 100's of HITS and that reflects far worse on you then a rejection.
Kind regards,
George

I think this sounds really reasonable. They shouldn't have to pay for work that isn't done. They are giving an option for the person to prove that they did the work.
What would you do as the requester in this situation?

I'm on a Mac. I don't have Edge or IE.

I don't know. It sounds pretty fair to me. I am sure these requesters deal with tons of scammers. At least they're offering to review it and overcompensate if they are wrong.

I agree but I think it was worded a little harsh

 

[frogman31680]

Problem with Penserra is that I'm not able to go back and call them again. Don't have the number anymore. Should have used my cell so I have a record of my calls...

Im done with them...

Another email from them...

all the people who tell the truth will get reversed and paid triple. Those who try to bad mouth is socially will have us ban them from our HITs which are far more damaging than rejection. Some have chosen to prove their right in a conference call. Happy to set that up.
