I don't think so. It might have something to do with using a person's typing style for biometrics.

Did it and they aren't there. I'm so upset. I've been doing this long enough and know I submitted them. One had a 5 hour timer and it's gone from my hits assigned to me. I don't understand what could be going on. We just did a factory restore on my laptop last night and I had to reinstall all my scripts and all. This is the first I've worked since the format so I don't know if there's some weird glitch or what but I'm afraid to do anymore until I know for sure. And the crazy thing is I synced my MTS just now and now everything I was showing that was submitted, is now gone as well, mirroring the information off the dashboard. So yes, I'm guessing it's all gone. I cannot imagine what happened. I have 2 showing when I did 8.

I had this happen last week, have no explanation for it either. I sent a message to the requesters to see if they show by my ID that I did complete them, and luckily I was paid that way. Hasn't happened since, but still would be nice to know what happened.

Thanks for your suggestions. Not sure what the deal was with this but I cleared cache and history and restarted and it seems to be working fine now. I'm bummed about the HITs that didn't record earlier but was able to contact a couple of the requesters that would account for about $5 and hoping I can still get paid for them somehow.

You mean the topic of the research itself or the pay/time/timer? I Googled the name and Stanford, where he says he's from, and he looks like a legit student there. I've got it in queue so I think I'll give it a try.

Edit: Returned it. It was just taking too long for the pay for me.

Okay, cool. I can't say anything without giving survey content away, though.

That guy also has an India email address doesn't he or did I read that wrong?

Maybe so but just because you're a student at Stanford doesn't mean you don't also have a personal email address.

Yes, I agree. Just think caution is best. Of course if he was up to no good he wouldn't use that address unless the address is fake.
