Is mturk.com Safe?

Great site, no scam. After about 4 days of doing barely any work I have $5.50 in my account. Just wish I could transfer into my bank / paypal. Just don't be an idiot (see MrElvey) and think you would get paid $10 for going on a website. I have only come across 1 scam, and it was so blatantly obvious that if you didn't realise it was a scam then you should have access to the internet...

Be careful friends.Dont do work without registering with ur PAN number or any other ID. Bcoz for the first i got cheque for $225..Then i continued my work for day n night. I earned $600 in three months by day n night hardwork. One day morning when i logged into my mturk account "They have SUSPENDED my account". They told they do not disburse funds for suspended account. I shocked i worried a lot. But i have already registered with PAN number so i got my cheque in about 15 days later.Refer the website ***** for futhur details. Becareful friends. Finally i got my cheque but i cannot work on my account. Be Careful if many requesters block ur account they will suspend ur account. Esspecialy for people others from US. Be careful my INDIANS.

WARNING from the TOS: Amazon says it DOES NOT SCREEN the work requesters AT ALL. But I was curious and signed up and reviewed some HITs. I looked through the highest-paying ones, and tried 2. About half were direct violations of the mturk policies (https://www.mturk.com/mturk/help?isPopUp=true&helpPage=help_popUp_whyReview) One was from BMG, asking me to post an ad to craigslist. Didn't violate mturk or CL policy (in letter, though I think it did in spirit, but I wanted to try once as a test), so I did it. DIDN'T GET PAID. AMAZON/MTurk wouldn't allow me to submit the URL of the ad - the Submit button wouldn't work (reminds me of hanging chads...) Second HIT, for $10, required I sign up for a $1 trial credit report. DIDN'T GET PAID. Scammer claims I didn't submit the form right. Yeah, sure. Did everything right in the right order. I'm sure there are legit Requesters and HITs, but they are hidden in a sea of scammers.

First day for me. So far, I have 29 cents. Also have 8 more cents pending that I'm sure I'll receive. I also have $1.92 in some offers, not sure but hopefully I'll receive. Children cannot use it since they are below 18, but some will try. Some work requires sorting through things, some adult. BE WARNED! Overall looks good, nice site, wasn't sure whether to trust it at first, but since it is Amazon, then that is ok. EDIT: ***** YEAHHH!!! I have earned: Total Earnings $58.59 Saving up for a laptop :D Great site to waste time, and earn

This is a great site. In just a few months have made over 100 dollars. Great when you need just a few extra bucks to get something. Anyways those under 18 shouldn't work here only because plenty of the hits can contain adult content without much warning or blocking.
