    Another one bites the dust. Good luck! Look around the forums, been several of these lately and it seems like most of the people had a balance of over $100. when it happens.

    You could try and get ahold of mturk about your account. But I haven't heard of any success stories thus far. To create another account, would mean you would need a new ip address, because I don't believe they allow multiple accounts from one household, it says in their terms. Also, if you use the same social security number and name, I believe it will suspend you when they catch it. In the future try and cash out at $10. - $20.00 every time in the future. That's the best advice I had received. I withdrew 50 my first time, but now I don't feel safe after seeing all these people get suspended.

    They don't suspend for no reason. Since no one here is privvy to your stats, we can't let you know whether it had to do with blocks or even if you're accurate when relaying your stats.

    You won't be allowed to make another account. I did read about a member here getting his account reinstated, but he had tens of thousands of hits completed with very high accuracy.

    I don't believe they allow multiple accounts from one household, it says in their terms

    I don't believe their terms state that.

    Always always withdraw as soon as it get as it gets to $10 also if you can use a prepaid card for withdrawals its free direct deposit and it takes 24 hrs or less to clear

    There is no such thing as getting blocked for no reason, I'm so tired of people posting this.

    Well..

    I mean, you can be tired of it all you want. I had 100% approval. Have used mturk for four years. Never ever ever a problem. Then I wake up today and my account is suspended. FOR NO REASON and everyone can save the "there had to be a reason" comments. I did absolutely nothing wrong. I don't cheat. I don't lie. All my information is correct. No one will respond to me at Amazon. After talking to a lot of users and having this experience on my own, I am now kinda convinced that there are some corrupt folks at Amazon stealing money.

    Said member here.


    OP, send them a message, they typically take 3 days to respond though, so do it asap. Mention your stats, etc. Also, did anybody block you recently? How many blocks did you have in the past?

    So, are you guys saying you should transfer the funds at $10 because Amazon will try to screw you intentionally or for the "just in case" factor? I'm new and have $42 so far my accuracy is 99.8%, I really wanted to build up like $100 before withdrawing but now i'm nervous....thanks

    I'm not sure that it's corrupt folks at Amazon, but I had to deal with them today over the phone. A lot of the non-sense I believe is due to glitches in the system. For example; today I was trying to add a banking account to my payments account. In order to do so, I had to verify the two deposits and answer a security question. It kept telling my answer was incorrect. How can you tell me I don't know the answer to my own personal question. Long story short, I called through Amazon Payments four times total. I kept getting someone who didn't know what they were talking about, and sounded like newbies that I refused to talk to. Finially the fourth call, I got ahold of someone that knew what I was talking about and what they was talking about. And they gave a solution to my simple problem that the first three people should have been able to do. I don't think it's corrupt people at Amazon. I think it's just some new people that don't know what their doing, and a very large Corporation with a bunch of glitches in their system. Think about how big online retail is booming in today's economy. You know they are a very productive and busy corporation I'm sure, which is more then likely why they have so many glitches within the system.
