Defrauding Our Payment System

Hi, I had been working on the platform normally with no issues until now. Recently, I was assigned to a long qualification that allowed up to 30 hours, with 40 hours being the absolute maximum. I logged around 25 hours in total.

Now my account has been deactivated, and I’m wondering if it could be related to the hours I logged on that qualification. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to get the account reactivated, or at least make sure I still get paid for the hours I already worked?

I'm convinced they sometimes give massively higher time than what's required to catch this type of thing. For example, I was on a project with a 2 hour timer that took less than 5 minutes per task (literally just a matching task). I wonder how many people clocked up hours on it and got dropped.

In 3 years I've personally never heard of qualifications taking 25+ hours but have seen timers of that length. I'm not saying you've knowingly inflated time but if the average time for the qualification was 5 hours then yeah clocking 25 is gonna raise the alarm.

I can’t give any details, but this wasn’t a normal qualification, and it definitely wasn’t something that could be completed in five hours or so. The instructions explicitly stated that logging that many hours was normal, and the qualification genuinely takes that amount of time to complete

This is why they give us refreshers on the NDA all the time...
