Wow. Can't believe I actually caught this. Thank you!
They aren't flyin' off the shelf. I caught one absent-mindedly then stared at it for a minute before deciding to accept it.

Looks like some of those scammy hits for the .tk site are being done with stolen credit cards.

I emailed the one from the requester "Shearon Kauffman" this morning, and got this as a reply :

"I do not understand any of the Amazon Mechanical Turk. I did not order this and I will not be paying for anything that involves this.

Yikes. I wondered how a website like that was dumping so much money on us.

you're making it pretty damn hard to look the other way even with knowing the credit card company will end up footing the bill.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be doing them anymore. I don't want my MTurk account hooked to a ton of different hits that are tied to stolen credit cards. Who knows what amazon might do if they see a huge link like that.

It explains why that one always puts his contact email in the actual hit vs. having you use the contact through MTurk. They're using the peoples actual emails to make the accounts and don't want you to contact that way.
