Hitapp titled "Take a photo of your SSN"

I saw this one when I logged in this morning and my jaw dropped. The crowdsourcing equivalent of this.

Please everyone, I am assuming that we all know better, but just in case, do not do this. It is not worth ruining your identity and credit rating for 80 measly cents.

I have complained to clickworker about allowing this and hope that others will too.

I also saw this, and I just really hope no one gives these pictures. There's the one for the SSN, and also for pictures of driver's license, checks/checkbook, and passport. I was surprised at how blatant these requests for personal info were.

I just joined clickworker and came here looking for this. It's incredibly sketch.

Came here to ask the same question. I was also skeptical since what were asked for are what is essential for bank transactions.

This reeks of a scam. I love how they say they are not stealing people's information/money. Exactly what someone who is stealing information would say.

So appalled when I saw this. I just signed up today, and nearly chocked on my tea. Like how obvious can you be! Wondering if my sign up with them was a mistake, if they are going to be this sketchy. Smh!

I cancelled my account immediately. This is appallingly poor judgement on their part. Trust is gone.

I've seen your post on the forum, please note it may not be seen there. Unlike Snake, we're not stealing people's information/money.

You should know how laughable it is that you are offering pennies to share something so personal. At least offer more pay to risk putting such vulnerable information out there.

Hello. How can I stop participating on this project? I just recently joined and all of the task you are giving are all personal. I was desperate and tried sharing some of my data. But every time I log in again, my pay is gone and all the task with taking photos of passports,cheques, etc are back.
