no one has actually shown that a person had said that their credit card was stolen. Some people have contacted the emails of the requesters who said that they had no idea what mturk was and/or that they didn't do any hits.

There are a lot of theories about the purpose and details behind those HITs and no one knows for sure. Bottom line, if you're not comfortable doing them (or any HIT), hide it and move onto something else.

I think I need to start a neglected husband and home thread.

Since turk entered my life I've...

Let the laundry get away from me. (run the dryer again for the third time to knock the wrinkles out)

I spray a mix of white vinegar and eucalyptus oil in the dryer before I start it (I don't use dryer sheets). Then set a timer on my phone for the length of the cycle so I don't forget to go get it out. :)

You know what, just to be safe, you and Krikket @Krikket should search KY3. Maybe the link I'm providing is no good since I've already taken it. Worth a shot.
I got the same message when I clicked on this hit in Hit Scraper. I know I've never completed any of their hits.

My guess is that they are a website flipper and want to pump up the traffic stats and ad clicks to fetch a greater price for some sucker.
