01/16 - Medley Monday!

Yeah, a few people did. I don't remember much, but I remember that there was a pretty long list of people who had been taken advantage of with those. Was the thread back on [redacted]? This whole mturk thing seems to blur together when it comes to time..

I couldn't find it because apparently, I forgot how to spell controversial...

There's the thread on those hits. (Specifically, on the emails we got from the people.)

No Scammies.

Wow! That brings back memories lol.

You may try April or May. I mentioned it when I saw one last night. It was when I first started.

So far, I did find this from July. Looks like even one of our own members got hit.

Yes. They scared the hell out of me because when I started, I was doing them since under 500, they were an easy 3 or 4 dollars a day. Then I found the forum and saw the posts about them. Kept waiting for my account to be shut down or one of them to get my email info.

At their height, you could make $10 a day doing nothing but scammies, each one would take seconds. That's why it took us so long to see the truth, because they paid so well.

When this came up last time we wanted all conversation regarding 'those hits' (I refuse to call them by their code word) in the controversial hit thread.


edit: (I'm not going to move anything right now, just nudging y'all in that direction.)

I understand that, for sure. I stopped trusting them once the debate began about them, but I still feel terrible for the few I did at first.

Edit: Sorry, @Jaded I'll zip it.

Well, in Honor of Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday today and the reason Mturk is so slow since it is a Federal Holiday.

I have a dream that I at least reach my goal..

No thanks, that thread looks super dead.

I am sure after a few minutes of your witty banter, it will pick right up again
