    I received a rejection from this requestor stating that I did not follow instructions. It was a video with a survey afterwards. I have always been a good worker with 33,000 hits and 99.7 rating. I take my rating seriously and would never intentionally do poor quality work. If it was an oversight on my part, I can understand the rejection, but the scary thing is they threatened to report me to Amazon. They also said that I IGNORED the instructions. That is just ludicrous! I sent them a message asking what I did wrong, and am awaiting their reply.

    I went and read their TO reviews, and apparently, they did the same thing to several people. Scary, scary requestor. Please avoid at all costs.

    Just a heads up to everyone regarding this requestor.

    Somebody is showing very poor judgment. A threat like that for one missed HIT is drastic. It tells me the person is on a power trip. Probably some college punk.

    Don't get too down - its only one reject.

    This happened to me as well (and I wrote about it on TO). I too have 99%+. Almost all of my rejections have come from fraudsters such as this. Amazon, our lord master, of course provides no recourse, so caveat emptor. Good thing we got TO and the forums.

    The threatening is just out of line. We hard workers value the good work we do and to have one person bully us like this is unacceptable. I have blocked him just so I don't inadvertently do another one of his hits.
