Hello,
I did a task perfectly. I submitted all proofs that is asked by the employer. But the employer not satisfied my task and in reply he said "dont cheat".
Are you kidding me dear employer? You can't even explain the reason! That's so sad how unqualified you're in the online business.
Then I submitted a support ticket to Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers). As always they said they working on it and suggested to to check employers success rate before doing a task.
Actually this post is not about money, this about Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) and my realization about it.
Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) doesn't really care about workers. Their goal is to serve their employers the best and keep the workers in so many rules and regulations when almost all of them are illogical and unnecessary.
Let's talk about their levelling system of workers. Why can't a starter level worker see employers success rate? Is there any logical reason? Let me answer. Because there's so many scammers/employers post job in Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers). Their success rate is below 60%. If all workers can see their success rate, no worker will do those tasks. So Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) will lost that scammers/employers from their site. To keep that scammers money in this marketplace, Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) don't let the starter level worker to see success rate, they can't even see employers name before submitting proofs. That's why scammers/employers are huge in numbers in Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) rather than other micro job sites. Also other sites don't have this feature/illogical rule.
Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) has a strict rule against using vpn or proxy or multiple accounts. So many users lost their accounts for this. But Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) won't ban your account before you withdraw. But when you will submit a withdrawal request, they will ban your account and won't give you money. Now my question is why not in the beginning? Because they will use you to serve their employers for free.
There's a lot of features/illogical rules to slow down a worker or stop them. But tell me one feature/rule that will stop a scammer/employer from posting jobs. Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) just send some message to the employers and tells the workers to be patient. But why? You guys are making money because of the workers not the employers. Remember that.
Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) is one of the most racist and unprofessional freelancing sites I've ever seen. They used to ban a whole country for some individuals, when Sproutgigs (AKA Picoworkers) couldn't even maintain their own security. They forced their workers to contact those scammers/employers. But in this case why they spoke against those employers? Because those employers were cutting their money by doing credit card fraud. So they had to ban a whole country for this. This is so sad that how unqualified and unprofessional they are to be a freelancing site.
Currently they changed their name to Sproutgigs. I think they did it to overlook their previous negative reviews. I also think they are tax fraud. A regulatory team should investigate their operations. (Point to be noted: They charge 18% from the workers as a fee.)
That's it for today. I think my post won't be approved. If approved, I want to say one thing to all the workers that, open your eyes.
Thank you.
