A requester send me a bonus e-mail and on a second e-mail he asked me if I wanted to review a small business for 5 dollars outside of mTurk. What is the play here?

Reviewing the business (assuming you haven't had an experience with them) would be breaking the ToS so they are trying to go around mTurk.

Am I the only one who thinks that this support bot training HIT is incredibly suspicious? The instructions are basically, "tell me how to get people to click on this extremely obvious phishing email link and give me their password."

The proper response is to go to that business, use its services, and provide a legitimate, honest, review. If $5 that is worth that to you, then go for it. If not, then skip.

I wouldn't. It's dishonest. I believe in not misleading people that rely on honest reviews. There's also the karma thing.

I have a burner phone that I use only for turking. And don't do mobile banking, anyway. I still use ATMs, instead.
