at the end of this survey, the requester wants my work email and itsaid they need it to verify we are actually an employee. but this was not in the consent or HIT description. am i justified in writing in the box "did not consent to providing this information, it is against MTurk TOS and cannot be used as a condition for payment"?
Not sure if it's the same hit but I said something along the lines of "I'm not willing to give out this information. If you had stated this information was required at the beginning of the study I would have returned it"

Bag stolen out of the mister's truck. It had an external HD in it which contained a lot of files plus all of kid #1's baby pics.
Won't change anything now... but keep backups of important stuff and make sure you encrypt all drives.

Does anyone know why I seemed to be getting a lot of this today?

this doesn't sound too onerous at least.

Serious question for all the pros on here.

This is my first full month of using mturk and this is my projected earnings for the month: $1,228.59.

Do you think I will be able to maintain or increase this amount every month?

I got through to Amazon and the person I spoke with said it was a legit request.
I thought it might be a phishing scam...there was some lady on local TV a few days ago who said her Amazon account was hacked.

What is this hit?
It's likely that you completed a problematic HIT for us and need to be paid. This is our way of collecting your Worker ID.
