    This requester has two studies spread out over two days, that supposedly pay $7.50 in total. I tried taking the first part, but it said I must first complete another survey hit of theirs, which was not available anymore, and it also had no submit button. Is this a scam, or what? And is it possible to contact the requester without submitting the hit?

    since the contact link is there -
    When I open a HIT, I open it in a new window or tab (depending on the type of HIT)

    This way, if something goes wrong during the HIT I still have a way to contact the requester. Sometimes you don't see a HIT (like a survey) after you've accepted and submitted/returned.

    Good advice.

    Bavelier Lab has already answered my message:

    "We currently have a limit on the number of participants, and unfortunately our limit has already been reached.

    For the study itself, the submit button appears at the end of the study, so it must simply be returned if you accidentally accepted it without completing the survey first."

    They seem legit. I just jumped in too late. I always do. Oh well, back to CrowdFlower :(.

    I tried to do their HIT, got all the way to the end and it told me the HIT was unable to submit, so I went back in as HITs assigned to you and it wanted me to start over...no thanks!
