The same thing happened to me Appen USA… The same thing happened to me Appen USA the hiring manager interviewed via Skype said they supply an iMacPro desktop and said that need to pay for the software the gets installed, pay for the shipping, and then customs wanted more money. I never recieved the computer, was told that it got damaged during shipping and they actually wanted me to pay for another. I bitched a lot. Never got resolved and never got my money back either. I screenshot all text messages & saved any email communications, and the phone # goes to a automated answering device and never called back.

Big Red flag for Appen Big Red flag for Appen. They rarely provide you any work except a ”job” of giving them access to photos of you and your friends. An example of a job Appen offers is reading aloud 800 tongue twisters in English. These have nothing to do with actual everyday spoken language They mention a pay of $150 and even native level readers get $15. Appen is also strongly connected with China.

Completely and utterly useless Completely and utterly useless. Signed up for this site hoping to earn some extra cash. Applied for several projects, each time getting an email which confirmed I would hear once my application had been reviewed. Each time there was no follow-up and the project just disappeared from my dashboard. All the while they were busy inviting me to participate in other projects for which I didn't meet the requirements. I'm not sure if it's a scam, or whether the people running it are just massively incompetent. Either way, avoid Appen like the plague.

Wish I'd come here and read the reviews… Wish I'd come here and read the reviews before I ever got involved with these scamming b@st@rds! THIS COMPANY EXISTS TO HARVEST YOUR DATA AND IF YOU MANAGE TO JUMP THROUGH THEIR NUMEROUS HOOPS YOU WILL NOT BE PAID FOR YOUR WORK! AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!

This is a scam This is a scam, here is no doubt. I found my email related to this platform in the data breach list. They have sold user data to third parties and made terrible mistakes in not protecting the sensitive information of users.
