    When I clicked on it ( I was curious if it was a joke) it was available to anyone and u were able to check if u have done it or not. So, I don't think it was for a particular worker, it would have been mentioned somewhere...

    He gave me a bonus of $1.39, am I allowed to tell you all that? I just don't want to give him a bad name. He was pretty nice in his email about it .__.

    There were 2 in the course of the evening. One (the one JuneB first posted) was open to anyone and was for $0. I looked at it too, and there was a way to tell if you had participated before. That went away and a new $0 one was put up (the one for a particular user). Then there is also a new one that is the actual survey for $1.39 (that I can't find the link to).

    Awww...I'm worried for you. It's not just about the TO. I get what you're saying about that. It's about the 10s of 1,000s of email searches I've done for IT guys in real companies. After a lot of work you learn to get the feel of what is real and what isn't, what is also in their budgets. Listen .50 a hit times approx 1,200 hits is $600 - that's a lot of cash to burn on a small project. It smells funny. That's all I'm saying

    You've received a bonus from Eric DeRosia for work related to 2NAVQ8H88MQU6OADLA3I6RXYN41R80.
    The value of your bonus is: $1.39 USD

    The Requester included this note:
    You did a HIT that was $0 reward because it was in testing. I didn't think anyone would do it! That's normally a $1.39 HIT, so I'm giving you a bonus of $1.39. Thank you for participating! That was very kind.

    Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

    LoL don't worry I haven't even done a single one. And by the looks of that batch, it will stay that way. Obviously the pay is $.50 a hit because the requester couldn't find the emails themselves. But to me the only thing that smells funny is the almost impossible batch. That is all

    Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's suspicious, just a crap batch.

    I was referring to the one that said, "This is a password-protected HIT for a particular worker." It must have been changed before I checked it originally.

    I did 3 earlier and I am not skeered at all. That TO is wack. I didn't do more because it was so hard to find, which is i imagine the only reason they are paying .50 for what other requesters pay .02-.20(the reeaaaallly nice ones) for the same thing.

    Well, made $30 for the day bet it would have been double that if I had been home instead of out most the day.

    My favorite thing about that HIT is that it doesn't expire until Oct. 19, 2014. Whoever knows the secret of Neptune has lots of time to find it.

    I think it should be at least .50 I doubt you can do one in just 3 minutes as you need to read them summarize the article.
