Stinky railroad PFAs

I did 1. They're really only slightly more awful than normal PFA's.

I'm pretty sure Amazon did this a couple years back, also. I remember having to call Amazon because they had some weird message on my payments account threatening to suspend me if I didn't re-verify my information.

Yeah, they did, I don't remember if mturk had the account review along with it though?

Maybe it has something to do with maintaining compliance with the IRS - or at least being able to say that on a certain schedule, they verify account information. Or does that make no sense whatsoever?

Depends ... what are you basing your thought on?

Good morning, y'all. Here's hoping some good batches fall from the sky with this hurricane-like storm we're having in OKC. It seriously sounds like my roof is going to come off with this wind and is raining sideways and seemingly upside down with the way the wind is whipping it around. This is nuts!

Nice!

It's possible, but I would think if that were the case it might be more widespread, but I'm also not familiar with any of the laws.

More likely they are weeding out multiple accounts held by one person in an attempt to hold down the scammers.

People likely to get caught in the net of this are people who share a same name and same bank with another turker, couples who have separate turk accounts but share a payments account, inactive users, or users whose banks have changed names over the years and have different routing info. A lot of businesses do routine re-verification but they usually don't put a notice up on their site. I know paypal randomly redoes this every few years.

Now if a turk account is put on hold it's probably because the payment verification lead to something that looked suspicious or there was a simple error with the re-verification. In a perfect company it would be easily fixable once you contact them. We all know, however, that Amazon is not the perfect company.
