Message from Kevin Astot
---------------------------------
Are you interested in more work?

Title was "More work for $5"

I was hoping it was something good. I responded, I'll let everyone know what he says...

He wants to you write and post fake reviews on Yelp and AngiesList.

Lol, I accidentally autosubmitted a Kevin Astot hit yesterday (from radio keybinds) before seeing what the HIT was about but it was approved anyway. I did e-mail him to see if I could still do the HIT not knowing what it was, but I got a nonsensical reply.

Ahh that guy. Ok, thanks. I honestly do not think I did anything like that before as it seems fishy to me but I guess I did something for him... curious how this will play out.

Thanks for the info.

He posts totally boring HITs like "what is your favorite color" in order to get worker IDs. Then he emails those worker IDs with this "extra work" offer of $5 to post fake reviews. It's gross.

I think it was the .15 cent "What's your favorite color" HIT from Friday, and now he's mass emailing everyone to do fake reviews.

He posted a hit that paid .15 that asked your favorite color.
I actually posted the review, sent a screen shot and he did pay me.
