Same thing I hear a lot, but I got lucky and did get some pay.
Me and a buddy took a job close to 3 hours at 20 an hour. Got paid only 40.
After that, just a big pain trying to get the rest, no luck at all.
Contacting finance, support, and others is all you get, some real replies, some auto ones.
Plus, my account was gone by the time I finished the work.
Oh yeah, they do try to pay less.
The direct message gave me 18 an hour for 2 hours and I said no.
Then I saw the ad on Craigslist offering 20 an hour for 3, same gig.
Oh, and they billed the client 280 dollars while paying us just 80 for it.
