So my run comes to an end. Around 2 months and 100 HITs later, I get a rejection. Thanks to this bloke called Abdullah Sultan. After enduring his super annoying survey which pays a pittance I get the stick. He even has the audacity to ask me to retake the survey! A quick look at TO and you will get to know his true colors. Same response to others- "The survey was faulty, could not read the data. Please retake the survey. Thanks" If you have taken his survey, brace yourself for the stick.
I got the same email from him, to retake the survey. this just shows that mturk is not a fair market place and is lurking with scam artists.
It's so easy to become a requester in mturk, with no checks done from mtturk side. Just pay from credit card and you are all done while we are all here ready to be the scamsters prey.
The first time I mailed him, he didn't reply. I sent a stinker next, and he replied. Apparently, he rejected the whole of first batch because there was no worker ID and he couldn't 'identify' who did the work. WTF! Why should I bear the brunt for his fault? I told him to reverse the rejection. He hasn't replied. I am pretty sure, he won't.
I am happy/upset that i'm not the only one who fell for this guys nonsense! I had a 99% approval rate and he sent me down to 98.5 with that stupid HIT!
Shot him another two mails, didn't respond. So one more freeloader out there to screw people. Seeking comfort in relative misery, eh
