    WARNING - SCAMMER AND CHEAT

    This HIT offered $1.01 to sign up to the ERepublik game and play to level 10.

    I did it because I like games like this anyway.

    I got to level 10 as requested before submitting my HIT.

    He has REJECTED my HIT within half an hour of submitting it.

    He obviously had absolutely NO INTENTION of paying for this. I feel like such a mug.

    With no access to Turkoptican to leave a review on him, this is the best I could do.

    Please do not fall for it.

    Fortunately my stats can take 1 rejection but I am not happy. Have messaged him but obviously not holding out any hope.

    p.s. - reason for rejecting was "Level 10!"

    I got to level 10 before I submitted (the guy gave barely enough time to do this in 30 minutes) and I have sent him a screenshot of the proof.

    Having you sign up for an outside website violates mTurk TOS.. shoulda been a red flag right there.

    Yeah I know Booty, but since it's the sort of game I like I took a chance on it anyway. That never works out well ;)

    BTW the HIT is relisted again: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2C4PHMVHVKCJINCJOPVJF9KQ395354

    Maybe a bunch of people could report it to Amazon/TO and get him removed ASAP.

    It didn't hurt my approval rating much so it's a minimal issue for me, but may not be for others.

    LOL I know the feeling! Mark it down in the book of bad ideas. Everyone else take note! If the requester is shady enough to blatantly violate mTurk TOS then they are most likely shady enough to reject you for no reason! There are other sites they can use for website/game testing like that (and if you like to do that, PM me and I'll let you know what sites I do it through).

    If you want to do it through mTurk, do the qual for TryMyUI. They are legitimate and work on and off of mTurk. Plus they pay way more than a dollar. ;)

    I had once thought about putting up a Hit to get people to sign up under me for a website.
    But I would pay, but sadly that violates Mturk rules - But I would pay .25-.50 If I could do it.

    You would probably get banned as a requester. Not only that, it's unethical. That's what paid advertising is for. :)

    PM sent, thanks for the kind offer.

    I definitely want to do the qualifications for those HITs but totally impossible with the children at home! They are back to school in just over a week and I'll try them then.

    They would never let me do any voice recording without getting involved! Asking lots of questions etc.

    Do you think my Scottish accent would go for or against me? It's not a madly strong, hard to understand one or anything.

    loool

    looool guys.

    I am from Serbia and it poked the shit out of my sight when i saw this. I fell off my chair laughing.

    Kurac Pickic mean Dick Little Pussy in Serbian. LOL.

    This guy is probably Serb too. Scammer -don't do this job, I am 90% sure he won't pay for it.

    Just curious... what do you mean you "don't have access to Turkopticon"?

    Hey Chaos, sorry I think we were posting at the same time there. By not having access I mean not *easy* access, I know I could check manually but it's quite time consuming. I thought I'd take a risk but Dick Little Pussy is obviously a scammer. Should have known by the generous pay rate if nothing else!

    Hmm, well that's weird. Are you using Internet Explorer? Because the TO extension works perfectly on both my Firefox and Chromium setup.

    No, I am using Chrome. I'd cut my arms off before ever using Explorer again and I don't like Firefox any more.

    Hi Chaos I tried that link and got a message that scripts can only be added from the Chrome store :(

    It didn't say that when I initially installed it so this is obviously this Chrome update people have mentioned. My browser updates automagically I guess.
