They're using other people's stolen CC info to pay YOU.

I guess you're fine with that karma coming back on you.

Ohhh I didn't realize that. I thought they were stealing people on here.

As far as Karma. I have had my fare share of bad moments. Including my CC attempted being stolen. If you don't check all your stuff virtually everyday, you are not being smart. I look at my CC, and Debit card Balances at least once a day. Call me paranoid but after someone trying to stealing it once I keep a tab on myself.

How did anyone find out that scammies were using stolen credit cards in the first place? And if that's the case, why doesn't mturk prevent them from posting the hits? Just curious.

Sent emails to the "requesters" who had no idea what MTurk was or why they were being charged.

'cause mturk is happy as long as they get their fees would be the short answer. long answer probably not enough man power there to research

Funny!!!! In kind of a perverse way, I guess. [ <---------- sorry ]

yeah, i learned something anyway lol it wasn't really that much, but was for me at the time. I wonder if it would be worth much now? I probably don't want to know. It was like 2002.

Because no matter what Amazon gets paid! It's called corporate America. Big Business does what it can to make a nickel.

Bwahahahahaaa, I'm dying of laughter over here!

 

[Kuddish]

What does Amazon charge to post hits? Didn't they raise the price over 400% recently? Isn't that a scam?

Regarding the 2017 qual test hits, I have heard back from the requester:

Hi Rochelle,

Seems like there were several issues with this batch. I have cancelled it and will approve all work. Hopefully I will get this figured out and repost.

Thanks,

Yolanda

Yay! Smile. Yay. Positive post. Yay.
