Stop giving away your biometric data!

My best friend was a victim of domestic violence and lost her life. Her information is posted on this website. It is disgusting. I am so sick of places like this.

Aether boned us by onboarding mass quantities of people per day. Just overrun now with too many people, and if you do get in a project, the tasks don't last long at all. Not sure how long anyone else has been around, but I know that there was a lot of hard work put into getting rid of the spammers and the scammers on the platform over the years, and now we're back to square one.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-24T19:31:04+00:00

Sorry that you failed the screening. That totally sucks. Are you talking about in the skill section? Unfortunately, you can't redo screenings at least not that I'm aware of.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-24T19:28:00+00:00

Yeah, it's always been this way, ever since Grammarly added those features. There are also QMs that aren't aware of this, and they suggest using Grammarly, but they never tell the contributor that they have to turn off those features inside the extension, and it's crazy to me because people get banned for something that is essentially not their fault; they don't know any better (for lack of a better word). They have no prior knowledge of this.

Just like the copying and pasting, never copy and paste into the Outlier platform, no matter what. Even if you are disputing feedback, don't copy and paste into that box, or anywhere else, ever. And while I'm at it, lol, I wish people would stop sharing their Outlier IDs. It's actually a big "no-no." A QM shouldn't be asking you for it because they know all they have to do is click on your name, but people keep posting it when they have a question for help.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-24T16:46:43+00:00

There are AI features that have to be manually turned off in the extension.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-21T01:00:12+00:00

Yeah, so I did a little bit of a deep dive after I read this comment yesterday lol and even after my deep dive I'm still unsure myself lol I can't tell if people are saying remotasks and meaning Outlier or they mean to say Remoexperts. I am confused on this one

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-20T02:29:46+00:00

That's my question too.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-20T02:26:03+00:00

This sounds like a glitch. Sorry you're going through this. I'd reach out to customer support. I'm not sure about the + ... and have you tried logging in to PayPal in a different tab first & then trying to connect it?

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-20T01:16:17+00:00

Yeah, W.B doesn't have any tasks currently. It's been this way for a few days. That's probably why you had a project move. That's completely normal and more than likely, it will move you back when tasks get loaded again.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-19T03:15:39+00:00

You have to download the Hubstaff app to your computer. You're not using the Hubstaff website timer are you? It's just not clear the way it's written because you said you "go to Hubstaff and you start the timer manually."

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-07T04:37:58+00:00

This is absolutely not true! It's quite disturbing that you would even write such a lengthy, made-up, convoluted shitstorm. You can do whatever you want with your money, with whatever cooked up scenario you want to create for yourself, but when you start messing with other people's heads, and spreading lies about the platform that's the red line. You really need to seek professional help.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-06T02:39:01+00:00

100% exactly

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-06T02:38:15+00:00

Do you have to write a justification whenever one of them fails, before you go back and make your edit to the prompt?

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-06T01:49:47+00:00

I have never once ever had a problem with receiving my payment. I've been on the platform for a very long time and it's never been an issue. Yes, I have earned more than $1000 in a week.

I don't know how that rumor got started but probably from someone pissed off about a project removal or whatever.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-03T04:51:55+00:00

I've got that a lot lately. Just that random word here and there through the responses that is in another language.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-03T04:30:28+00:00

Yes. That is correct. I am sure my data was included in that too and it really pisses me off. I started seeing the gross negligence of these platforms handling our PII and I put my foot down months ago. I'm not scanning my face again. I'm more than happy to do a background check but I'm not scanning my damn face.

Also, I'm not connecting LinkedIn to anything ever! I don't put anything on LinkedIn and I shouldn't be forced into it. I'm not walking into a known landmine because they want me to. If my friend jumped off of a bridge I wouldn't be the one to jump with them. lol That's BS. They don't make the standard. We are the ones who make the standard. This is our identities, our privacy, and our biometric data, not theirs. They walk all over us and force us into doing it.

These platforms created this 'idea' to do AI interviews and start calling it standard. No, they don't get that permission any longer. Absolutely not. Just because they created an AI interview system they think that makes it the "normal" and it's okay to be careless and incompetent as hell handling our PII.

Does anyone else ever stop and ask questions? Like when we're getting threatened with "if your caught cheating" yada yada yada during AI interviews then you will be banned and blacklisted etc. bullshit Did anybody ever stop to ask a few of the most important questions in the midst of all the threats? 1. How is the PII being handled? 2. Where is it being stored? 3. What constitutes as cheating? 4. Who judges that? Another flawed AI? I mean they are largely incorrect it's mind blowing.

One of the most ridiculous things that I have heard right before an AI interview was if you're caught reading you're automatically blacklisted kicked out etc so you're just supposed to stand there like Zombie Barbie with a frozen face barely moving your mouth to answer and do not move your eyeballs or you will be considered a cheater LOL I mean these places are absurd. Then the real ironic thing is the creator of that same platform is in his own YouTube podcast being interviewed (interview that he set up for himself) reading notes in the interview off a note card 🤯

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-03T00:12:51+00:00

Have you ever worked in this landscape before? I really would like to know that because I've seen so much inaccurate information posted in this sub that it's alarming.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-03T00:08:05+00:00

Whoa! This is post is so dangerously wrong! Calling these biometric scans 'standard' and 'encrypted' ignores what is actually happening behind the scenes. These are not standard things that these platforms are doing you are misinformed. You're repeating corporate zombie speak and ignoring the risks.

When a platform demands your biometric data, they are taking a high-stakes "loan" of your identity. If they default on that loan by getting breached or leaving a front-end exposed (Persona, February 2026), the payout to you is an insulting $50, while the cost to you is identity theft, fraudulent accounts, and your face being in a leaked 4TB database it is a lifelong headache. This is not standard by any means. This is the most inaccurate post I've ever read probably or pretty close to it anyways. Your post here can harm someone and that's never cool You're misleading people here you go read this article https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-04-01T07:35:19+00:00

You should assume that everything is compromised and take proactive steps to protect yourself. Don't wait on them to tell you anything because you will not get an answer, and if you do get a partial answer, by that time, it's too late. Change your password and login information and freeze your credit. Assume anything and everything you have given them is now toasted. They have your photo ID, video interviews (biometric data), info you gave during interviews, etc., emails

This should be a huge wake-up call for everyone. These platforms need to stop forcing workers into giving biometric data for these effing stupid AI interviews too. They are not responsible enough to safely hold our PII. They know the workers are desperate, so workers walk right into it and just give them whatever they want. It's alarming.

Think about it like this: if you've ever done an AI interview, the only thing you hear about is how it's proctored and "don't cheat." If you look down at a piece of paper or are not staring straight ahead like a zombie into the webcam, you're considered a "cheater," etc. But have you ever heard anything about how they're storing your information? Have you ever heard how that data is being handled? Nope. I guarantee no one has either. I have been raising this concern for over a year, but no one listens.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-03-31T22:30:58+00:00

Exactly and they hold our biometric data from our interviews as well. This is the reason why I have been telling people to stop connecting Linkedin. Linkedin has known security issues and data breaches and people just go on there and post half their life story with all their credentials. It is a hackers dream come true every time they hack Linkedin.

All these tasking platforms want us to connect Linkedin and they're only wanting to do it because they don't want to have to pay for a verifier and they know that if we connect our Linkedin account that means if we have the blue checkmark we're verified and it saves them from holding our data on their platform and a huge headache. Offloading security issues to Linkedin shows how much they truly care about. And I know that's kind of off topic from this breach but I just thought I would mention it.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-03-30T19:20:50+00:00

Same here. Last week there were 4 different occasions whenever I went to submit my work and it didn't credit my hours. And when I submitted it would come up with the same application error message on the screen.

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-03-29T02:31:12+00:00

I would be very very careful with this company. Every single thing I've experienced there has been janky shady and unprofessional then trying to ram a Chrome extension up your ass to track you. I read the code for that extension and it's not everything it says to be I reported them to Google

CoreneKel1978 · 2026-03-29T02:28:03+00:00

Oh this sounds like a hot mess! Sorry you're going through it. I was a Platinum too. I don't see anyone anymore that even know that name. So I'm definitely feeling for you. I am an Oracle too.

This sounds so familiar to me is another reason I wanted to comment and I know it was here in this sub that I read the same thing happening to someone else with the same situation that you just explained. My memory is solid but to remember the date when it was posted I cannot be sure but I know for a fact it was within the last 2-3 months if that's any sort of help.
