There seem to be a few fishy hits on mturk. I got a google redirect virus a couple weeks back that has to be from one of the hits I did. You definitely have to be a little cautious of some of these requesters.

I'm sitting on 4 $1 article summary HITs and I'm not sure if I have the motivation to complete them. Should I power through them, or should I have a contest where the winners get PM'd the requester name before I return it? EDIT: accidentally said they were transcription HITs, they're 100 word article summaries.
not a problem it's a great HIT if you haven't taken it, just warning people since this requester doesn't provide ID screens or a spreadsheet/list to check.

I'll try this one more time before releasing them into the wild... Is anyone interested in some $1 article summary HITs? I'll give you the requester name before I return them so you can snatch them up.
I wish I was a little more awake I would happily take you up on that offer but work kicked my ass today. I can barely write this... thanks for offering them to us
Goodnight all, it was a decent day turking. Tomorrow is my one-month and I'm hoping to put in a good day!
Good luck & Happy 1 Month Anniversary! I'm glad to hear you've been having success with turking for awhile then & look forward to being able to say that of myself next month too~ :3
