UNBELIEVABLE joke of a "company"!!
UNBELIEVABLE joke of a "company"!!
My passport/ID was under review for weeks and weeks and weeks despite the fact that it should have been a case of 15 minutes - then it said 48 hours.... and then I got fobbed off and fobbed off despite entering a support ticket every other week, with these incompetent people telling me I just had to wait a bit longer. The thing is, the ID check was the last step of SEVEN for a job application - and I just got an email saying that my application was cancelled due to MY UNRESPONSIVENESS ! This is like a bad movie!
Stay away from this absolute joke of a loose association of chaotic incompetence. I will not do it the favour of calling it a company.
scams company
scams company, waste of time for monkey work for complicated tasks that
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
And I do mean costs, because they are involved. It will cost you hours upon hours of wasted time trying to get the tasks to function properly, trying to get helpdesk to actually help, then eventually saying I quit and still be on their message DLs.
And you won’t have earned one red cent.
Something this broken shouldn’t continue to exist.
Complete scam and a total waste of…
Complete scam and a total waste of time! They kept prompting me over Christmas to finish their elaborate quizes, onboarding and project trainings only to finally find out that there's absolutely no work available and projects to do. I just wish I had never wasted precious time, unpaid hours, and gave away personal information. Don’t bother with them, not even for a minute! Very dissapointing.
Not a scam.
They do pay. But every different project works differently, for some info is clear and for others it's confusing.
I've not worked for about two weeks, yet I was sent feedback (mistakes I've made) for last week...?
But the jobs are interesting.
Waste of Time and Very Unprofessional
I had waited for about 5 weeks for the Project Thyme onboarding email to be sent after completing several qualification steps, quizzes, and identity verification, only to be ignored.
When I reached out to support previously, I was told that I just had to wait, but nothing happened after that.
Instead, I received an automated email informing me that I was no longer eligible for a project I hadn’t even applied to.
This was very unprofessional and a complete waste of time!
Total waste of time
Appen Crowdgen is an absolute waste of time, I signed up over 2 weeks ago, spent hours on tasks I thought were paid work only to not have earned a penny, how is this even legal?
Was showen for several projects
Was selected for several projects, even got a message start earning now! Etc and nothing happened so I reached out and got the answer that even if I qualify and gets chosen , I will not get chosen, so bye bye
Horrible organization
Horrible organization, had to follow them up for £271 and they took 2 months to eventually pay, only to pay me $271 which is roughly £202. scumbags
Extremely Poor Support and Wrongful Project Expiration Notice
I was invited to the Crowdgen project, completed every required test, passed them, and submitted my ID properly. Yet my ID status has never been updated. For over a year, all I have ever received from the support team are useless automated replies that close the ticket without providing any actual help. Even when I responded within the so-called 72-hour window, the system still sent me nothing but automated messages and marked the issue as resolved. Nothing has been resolved at all.
And now, after more than a year of your complete inaction, I received an email saying that “Project X has expired due to unresponsiveness to our project invite.”
This is absolutely outrageous. The way this company has handled this situation is unacceptable, unprofessional, and frankly, disrespectful.
They Must be a Joke!
I applied for a job, followed the steps, got my study materials, got into them and then went of the test. The moment I clicked DONE after finishing the test I was logged out of the app. Never got a test result, and my page never showed I had taken the test. It actually showed 'current'. Still, I tried to take it again and kept on getting this message: "you've already taken this survey". Wrote to support desk twice, three times. No answer. Nine days later (nine!) they replied along the lines 'let this be part of my learning process'. Immediately I get an email saying sorry, I'm no longer being considered for this project. Wowwww! This was my first interaction with them. Innocently enough I tried my luck again with the next project they offered, but that's stuff for another review. Honestly, guys, they are a joke!
Banned my account without a reason
They didn't give me any new project for months then they sent me an email or of the blue saying I violated their community standards (what community standards?) and that they were going to deactivate my account without even bothering to tell me what violation I committed.
I appealed, they took 3+ months to send a stupid standard reply saying they "reviewed" my case (I find it easier to believe aliens built the pyramids) and that they confirmed their choice. WITHOUT EXPLAINING WHY.
TWICE!!
Disgusting behaviour, total lack of professionalism. If this is a result of the implementation of some sort of AI in community management and decision making, I hope they all fail badly.
The worst website for making extra…
The worst website for making extra income the customer service is terrible no response at all. I’ve passed a project and still haven’t received any tasks to work on it.
Scam that wastes your time and energy
It's a scam that will waste your time and energy. I don't know how it's legal.
I participated on a recording job
I participated on a recording job. Made a big pay for this kind of job, got to participate 4 times and have my money paid already
Huge waste of time
Spend 3 hours completing pre-screener questions just to have the website log me out and disqualify me from the project for no reason. This place is a complete trash waste of time. I see no money ever coming out of this place.
Not worth your time
The instructions for tasks are pretty complicated, but when you do manage to qualify for a project - there's almost never any tasks to do. Definitely not worth your time.
Horrible company and not worth the…
Horrible company and not worth the time. They have no instructions on some of these tests they give you. Waste of time.
A really awful company for casual work.
A really awful company for casual work.
They have so many promises of paid work and it looks professional. But don't fall for it. You have to go through so many loopholes it just isn't worth it for your time.
Pass this test, pass that test, sign up for this platform, sign up for that platform, log your hours on that platform, register your details on another platform and log your work hours there etc etc etc. Pay rates are well below minimum wage too.
Really really bad given that it s actually trying to get you to train AI. Avoid like the plague. So many better platforms out there for casual workers.
work hours reduced
work hours reduced, meaning that payout also reduced. but its still fair for me. but you guys should increase work hours for better payouts
