So my mom doesn't have a job right now and I was going to teach her how to turk. She had signed up a couple weeks ago and asked me how long it took for the account to get approved. For my husband and I it only took 1-2 business days so I wasn't sure what was taking so long for her. Last night she got this e-mail:

What in the world??? I've never heard of anyone getting rejected to work on mturk before. There's nothing that would hinder her from being qualified to work on mturk ... I mean, she's an American citizen with a valid SS# living in the US. Anyone know why they would turn her down and when they started doing this?
