Okay, so I just got off the phone.
I'll give everyone my experience incase they run into the same problem.

I checked the mturk forum on reddit. There was a thread about it two days (or one day) about it. Someone provided a contact number for amazon payments. My problem is with my worker account as that's where I'm getting the message. Because of this, I went on a search for direct contact with mturk worker. Results tells me that there is no such thing, and the only lead with a phone contact is amazon payments. I used this number 1(888)280-4331 and was connected with a customer service at amazon who transferred me to payments (Customer rep will ask for your email information ahead of time). I was connected quickly with a rep at amazon payment and I explained my problem. He says "Yeah I saw the ticket you submitted with the email. There is nothing I can do. Only the account specialist can check the problem." So I asked if I can get a hold of them but he says they are not allowed to be contacted. I also asked him to double check my payment account with my bank details incase it details were missing and I just need to verify those information. He again said he can't do anything about it and I have to wait for an accountant specialist to message me back. So overall, I haven't gotten any problems with people not knowing what mturk is but to get more information calling amazon payment is redundant.

I was once told that the MTurk team and the "account specialist" team don't have phones. :tearsofjoy:

Well this sucks. Optical migraine incoming. Good thing I'm already making food but I'm about to be blind for about 30 minutes.

Hope it passes quickly

i always why some surveys ask what your income was in 2015 or even earlier sometimes. why would they not want the most up to date data? or have they not edited their surveys for literally years?

Yes! When I worked in an office, we had some sort of system that sent faxes directly to our computers and it'd show up in the email inbox. Maybe they have that.
