    It seems like this happens to everyone at least once. It certainly happened to me--while I was on vacation, no less. I had received a couple emails requesting that I verify info already on file about my accounts and my identity, which I complied with immediately. If I recall, they sent out two sets, and I finished both. Then, while I was travelling, I got the email that you just received. As soon as I got home, I called them up and we went over the info one more time.

    After that, my account was restored, but I called them to ask the status of the incoming payments that had not gone through while the account was closed. I also wanted to know why my account was suspended. They informed me that all my payments would eventually be resubmitted into my account, but skillfully dodged all my questions about the suspensions.

    A week later, I called again to ask about certain payments which I believed were still missing. They helped me to located where they had been deposited, and I was certainly happy about that, but when I asked why my account had been suspended in the first place, they again declined to provide any specifics. At all.

    So just call them, get the situation resolved, and move on. I've never heard of any of these suspensions going on for very long. Good luck!

    Exactly 100, if I have my numbers right. It's 1/3 of my hits. I got to the point where I was screwed either way, so I figured I'd just keep going and hope for the best.

    Even though I totally would, productrnr took one of my quals for the adult one. Without any rejections. Same thing happened to bear.

    I'm at 3,350 HITs. Should I stop? Honestly the only negative TO seems to be from taking too long to pay.

    Thom,

    Thank you SO SO MUCH for your response!

    I just checked my mail & spam, and it doesn't look like I got any emails from them asking me to confirm anything.

    The only thing I can figure is that they might be upset because I signed up for the Payments account as a Business, but am taking the payments to a personal account. It's no difference to me - the LLC is a disregarded entity for tax purposes, so the money just goes through to the same Schedule C no matter what name I earn it under. But if they want me to deposit to the LLC account, I can certainly do that.

    I certainly hope my experience is similar to yours, and I can get back to Turking soon!

    Thanks again,
    Michelle

    They're TO is great, and I personally had no problem with them. I was just recommending the strategy that I use on unknown (to me at least) requesters. I only did ten at a time for productrnr at first, which with their 72 hour auto approval it meant that it was nearly two weeks before I went all out and did 1050 in on day. Now they are my favorite requester to do when nothing else is up. But to answer your question, I wouldn't stop now you're to far in. Just do them all correctly and you should be fine. My only concern is that they seem to want to get a lot of different peoples responses on words, not just a few answering all of them.

    They fixed the "too long to pay" issue this time around, they're set for 8 day auto-approve.

    Lot, I didn't know there was a script for the UVM. Do you happen to have the link?

    Feeling awesome! Almost reached my goal and I just started an hour ago. Picked up this awesome hit that had me record myself playing a video game--sorry I couldn't share guys but I picked up the last one--and it took 6 minutes for $2.50

    Raising my hand here... I didn't know there was an AHK script for these. I've been avoiding them because of the pay cut, but it would make it worthwhile if I could learn this lil nugget here. :)

    Here's the script I've been using, replace age and state with your age and state. You may need to alter the number of downstrokes based on your education and income level. It will scroll you back to the top after filling out the demos and clicking the left most bubble for all but the last entry.

    Here you guys go. hopefully mine all approve!

    !1::
    Send {tab}
    Send {tab}
    Send {left} (right, if you're a female)
    Send {tab}
    Send AGE HERE
    Send {tab}
    Send {down}
    Send {tab}
    Send {down}
    Send {down}
    Send {tab}
    Send COUNTRY HERE
    Send {tab}
    Send COUNTRY HERE
    Send {tab}
    Send {space}

    Loop 121
    {
    Send {Tab}
    Send {space}
    }

    Send {numpadhome}
    Send {numpadpgdn}
    Send {numpadpgdn}
    Send {numpadpgdn}
    Send {numpadpgdn}

    For whatever reason, the second location command won't work for me

    If you report a HIT will it notify the requester?
