    My account is suspended. Got this message from Amazon.

    Greetings from Mechanical Turk.

    We regret to inform you that we have suspended your Mechanical Turk account effective immediately. This action was taken because we received repeated complaints from Requesters regarding the quality of your work. In particular, you were blocked by several Requesters.

    If you are a US Worker, you may withdraw any remaining balance on your account by logging on to your account on http://payments.amazon.com . If you have an Indian worker account and your PAN, EPIC, or Passport has been submitted and approved, then your balance has already been automatically remitted via check.


    The Mechanical Turk Team

    Everything is over...

    Hello Uttam,

    Sorry to hear that your account was suspended...

    I feel it is time to introspect... just some calm post mortem needs to be done as to what could have went wrong against you. With thousands of workers doing hits all the time, you getting blocked by requesters should mean that you could possibly have made some sort of mistake somewhere. Not to offend you here. Just take this as a lesson and be more careful in dealings in your life.

    May God give you new avenues from where you can earn legitimate money... I wish you good luck...

    I dont think so mturk is suspending accounts on base of above mention reasons. i have a friend whose mturk account recently suspended with the same reason, but when i went to researching the actual reason for suspension i came to know mturk is doing intentionally.

    1. Mturk states that requesters are complaining about quality of work - My friend check with all recent requesters in mail about his work quality and all cleared him that they haven't complaint to mturk about his work.
    2. With the same reason he told to mturk people, then he got another mail from mturk that his approval rate is too low - My friend has 98% approval rate mostly he do RER hits, i Dont think 98% is too low for mturk, which is pretty good approval rate.
    3. He had Put 110$ check before suspension, which he dint get withdrawn mail, may be his 110$ eat by mturk.
    4. He has some 30$ Account Balance and that also dissapears and becomes 0.

    I request all mturk indian members here to give responses about their own mturk accounts whether they have any issue now or not.

    I dont have any issue with my account till now, i am getting cheques in time. recently i change the address and waiting for verification to be complete. Now please tell yours.

    Sorry to hear you got suspended, uttamkumar21.

    I'm in the same boat as yours. Don't have any issues with AMT till now. *Touch Wood*. But watching all the suspension stories here, I mailed to them to find out if there's any block or quality issues in my account. And to my relief, they replied that my account is clean and doesn't have any performance or quality issues or complaints from any requester. :)

    I had already two hard blocks. Maybe I got the third one also by some requester. That may be the reason they suspended my account.

    I don't really get it. Why were you asking for the Mturk scripts in the other thread if your account actually got suspended???
