They never say things clearly when they could say it in a way that makes things confusing! This is why so many questions are asked in chat!

My worst item was weight loss hot drinks, clearly a load of nonsense and not even cheap. The website is legit and based in UK but how they get away with selling these products always surprises me.

Have been lucky enough to get on to S****and and have received an email saying Due to your impressive participation with A***** we would like to invite you to another platform It gives brief idea of the job then a list of steps to follow..... and that’s where it all goes wrong Tried to follow the steps but seem to be going round in circles, don’t even understand what it is I’m trying to do Anyone else had the same email? Any help appreciated ☺️

My only purchase last month were diet pill from the US. I'm b*ggered if I could see how they made a person lose weight. Still, got my refund today.

No but I got, what I'm assuming was, an invitation to apply for something else, but it wasn't clear why I'd got it and it was mixed up with another email. But I went onto the projects page and applied anyway.

I doubt I'll ever get a message from them saying what a impressive job I'm doing :rolleyes:

Good for you, glad you were able to apply No idea why they said that to me as I’m far from impressive as was shown by the fact that I didn’t understand the message and then couldn’t access the unknown thing with the various random links they gave me

So I've had my first invoice rejected, and I'm a but confused, I dnly do the surveys on Appen, so it's all auto generated, I never do anything.

But the note on the invoice says,

Auto reject invoice of reported units 4.0 on project Falcon News Survey (Nipigon) -- User Understanding Survey because your units from client tool is 6.0

Project Nipigon is on it 3 times, all at 2.0 which is 6.0, so are they saying it's meant to be 4.0? How am I meant to change that?

I would contact them and tell them that as nothing else you can do

Communication humour continues. Received late last night an email asking B888 project workers to participate in a qualification quiz for the upcoming month. The work on this project is ad hoc and last few months non-existent. Decided to sleep on it and first thing this morning got an email saying the quiz has now closed????

Yes, I've wrote to them and asked them what I'm meant to do, as it is all auto done, so hardly my fault. Plus you can't change anything when submitted, surely it's only a matter of them doing it themselves?! Everything has to be so complicated with them :rolleyes:

Oh no just realised for one of my mystery shopping purchases I entered the price as £15.99 as that’s what it said on the website and at checkout but I’ve just looked at my receipt and noticed they sneakily added another £3.20 of “tax” at the last minute without me noticing :eek: Will Appen notice if my reimbursement receipt doesn’t match the price I put on the rating tool as I can’t see anyway of changing it now? Or is this just a lesson to pay more attention in future:cry: thanks!

Sounds a bit like Bullseye when Jim Bowen used to say "look what you could have won" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

OMG now realised it’s actually cheekier than I thought - the original receipt email from the company says £15.99 but my PayPal receipt says £19 odd with this extra “tax” added, so they added it without my consent! :mad: Still confused about how to make sure I get the whole cost reimbursed as the PayPal receipt doesn’t say the shop name, just a random Chinese email address…

That project has been a Pain from the start, with blunt messages, removal of a timer to help you out etc. I was going to do it today, assume it was pulled as it was wrong

Yep not giving us a timer was incredibly helpful, I wonder who they thought would appreciate working blind. I think I lost about 10% of the work to forgetting to press my phone timer and hence submitting too late.

apply for everything and hope you get something, its a lottery on times. Apply as soon as you see them come up too and act fast on any qualification exam as places often fill fast

Be prepared to be messed about a lot as well
