Not sure if this is the best place for it, but here we are. The Indeed listing is already gone, so I can’t refresh my memory, but they’d made it sound more like a customer service role. The grammar was a bit of a red flag, but I thought it could have been second language issues, so let’s see where this goes. Thanks for wasting my time, guys! And apparently the time of around sixty other people if Indeed is accurate about that. I can still report your job posting even though it’s gone, though, so that makes me feel a little better.

    This is probably not even real, I bet they are just scamming the people who agree to do this work by making them pay some fee to unlock their accumulated wages (that don’t actually exist) or some similar scheme. If they actually wanted fake reviews at this point they would just use AI instead of paying random people 300 a day.

      You might be correct, they promise just way too much money. If it look too good (and this does, $100 for work thats at most one hour) it’s just a scam.

      You’re probably right. It’s not something I thought about in the moment since I was so insulted by the astroturfing and I’m not a fast enough typer to give them all my thoughts anyway. I mean, I didn’t even get to call them on real money meaning real reviews. If you believe that, I’ve got a (real) bridge to sell you!

    I applaud your good judgment and moral character. What they are doing is completely unethical and undermines the value of review systems. Kind of disgusted that companies still do this.

    Hmm…80 to 160 “journeys” per day, for $250-$350. So you get paid less when you work more?

      Also using Sync. I had to open the post, then click on the image for it to download and be less pixelated. Clicking on the image from the main feed only loads the low resolution image.

        Youre right when I revisited through this reply notification I can read it clearly. Thanks
