    I'm always amazed at how many people just blindly use scripts without having any inkling of how they're working.

    Granted, some people do know how they work, and not only use them to scam, but brag about the hundreds of dollars they've made, on this very forum, while response after response express disbelief, as no one who is properly doing them can get them to submit.

    No names.

    Anyway, for anyone wanting a post mortem, here's an example that you can dig into:
    https://aitiaotu.com/video_segment/...1OLGZCJQISS4PKW78KWI414&workerId=A1621ZAWSV13

    The code to pay attention to:
    Code:
    $.ajax({
                        url : self.api_endpoint + '?hitId=' + self.hitId + '&workerId=' + self.workerId + '&assignmentId=' + self.assignmentId,
                        method : "POST",
                        dataType : "json",
                        contentType : "application/json",
                        data : JSON.stringify({
                            segments: results
                            }),
                        success : function(data){
                            self.$formMturk.unbind('submit');
                            self.$formMturk.submit(function(){return true;})
                            self.$formMturk.submit();
                        },
                        error : function(data){
                            console.log('get error for submitting');
                            self.$btnSubmit.html('Submit');
                        }
                    })
    
    where the api endpoint:
    Code:
    this.api_endpoint = "https://ftlhb1a3n8.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod/video-segments"
    
    That's their server. Note in the hit itself, it sends itemSandbox, itemTag, itemIdAssignment, itemIdHit and itemIdWorker. It sends no data.

    Which means if anyone at Rekog notices they've paid out [x] hits but only have [y] answers and look for the disparity, there'll likely be a block. This post is only FYI to the honest people who care and didn't know.

    Obviously the few bad apples who take glee in this sort of thing will just sip their tea and keep on keepin on with their scammin and their braggin until like the bird that flew, they're goose is cooked, too.

    Oh look, an innocuous image of a bird and a hotdog.

    :emoji_smirk:

    Edit: A different innocuous bird and hotdog because I can't read domains.

    Wow...So I just received notice that my Amazon Payments account was SUSPENDED (and thereby my mturk account too!!!!). I found out by clicking on a HIT to do and getting this message:

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Okay, ensue panic, especially considering my C-SAT screw up earlier today. I quickly checked my emails and noticed I got one from Amazon stating that my fiancee is a registered account holder and needs to have his ID verified. Whaaaa??? Okay, that makes NO sense whatsoever. I am the only account holder. All he's ever done is buy a few things using my Prime. I've held this account for like 10 years.

    Well, after about an hour and a half of freaking out, googling, emailing, and utilizing the useless Amazon Chat, I thought I'd go check out the addresses in my account. Sure enough, there it was. Only one address listed with my fiancee's name attached to it, set as default. My name was nowhere in sight. It turns out, about a week ago I went through and deleted a ton of old addresses/name combos that had been piling up and taking up space, and I left just one...with MY name on it. Well, my fiancee went and made a purchase 2 days ago and thought it'd be nice to have the box sent with HIS name on it, so he changed the name over to his.....


    Now, I won't find out for sure if this is the true problem until this morning, but I am 99% certain. So, as a warning to everyone else, don't screw with your Amazon account. Who knows how long this will take to fix!
