I passed the first screener. Then i got a notification that i had progressed tio the 2nd screener. Then a few minutes later I got a message that due t the inability to confirm my location - my contract had been cancelled. This is all after I had been verified using a third party service before the contract even began - before i had even gotten access to the first screener. And since then no one has bothered to respond or explain how even after a third party verification it was somehow determined that my location could not be verified.

I completed an AI interview for a position and was told I didn't match the criteria. Since there was a long queue, I deleted my profile. Ten minutes later, I received a message saying I'd passed the review and needed to verify my payment details. I recreated my profile, but the verification never appeared anywhere on the platform. I contacted support and waited hours for a reply — a generic one-line template. When I responded with my ID, screenshots, and full confirmation details, "Fabiele," who'd answered earlier, simply disappeared. No further replies, no update, nothing. I applied through this platform's job posting, and regardless of which third party actually processes applications behind the scenes, the company that advertised the position is the one responsible for what happens next. I have 15 years of experience in customer support myself, so I know what a functioning process looks like — this isn't it. The system is unintuitive, and support is unresponsive to the point of negligence. I was genuinely looking forward to this opportunity, but the experience has been enraging rather than reassuring. If anyone from the company is reading this: I'd appreciate an actual response, not another template.

It is a good ap and really earning.

I have worked as a Quality Analyst for OpenTrain AI on the VQA project batches (VQA_MAL) since February 2026. While the work itself is professional, the payment process is unacceptable. I have outstanding payments for work completed in February and March that are now over 60 days overdue. Despite multiple attempts to contact support via email and follow up with Admin on the platform, I have been met with total silence for weeks. The last update was a month ago stating they were "waiting for a client report," but there has been no transparency since. I have fulfilled my contract with high accuracy, yet I am being ghosted by the finance team. Update: My payment is recieved delayed but finally recived with multiple emails.

I text them, I get any answer from them!

I was removed from the onboarding and production group chats without any prior notice. Those were the only channels where we could communicate with other team members, so now I don’t know what is happening or who to contact. My efficiency has been good—on average, 7–8 minutes per task. Even though OpenTrain requested 30 tasks per day, I consistently completed over 50 labels daily. I also put effort into ensuring quality by carefully following the manual and double-checking political terms, names, and other special nouns. At this point, I am unsure whether I will be paid, based on how the situation has been handled. I also noticed that discussion about this job is limited—my posts in WFHJobs and WorkOnline subreddits were automatically removed. I am confused how this project has continued on LinkedIn for two years without more feedback or reports.

Project: Mandarin Transcription Project This project and platform operate like a well-oiled SCAM machine. They constantly onboard new contributors, then set impossible standards — 100% task accuracy, unrealistic time limits (e.g. 5 minutes for a task that realistically takes 20+), and zero tolerance for partial correctness. Once you've done hours of unpaid training and submitted work, they quietly remove contributors without warning, without EVIDENCE, without justification, even though you've submitted work correctly. Then they bring in fresh recruits to repeat the cycle. It’s a revolving door designed to extract free labour while maintaining the illusion of progress. It’s not about quality. It’s about control. They cycle people in and out to keep the labour FREE and disposable. DON'T FALL FOR IT, DON'T WORK FOR THEM. I believe more and more truth is revealing. Good for them.

I joined OpenTrain AI for their Mandarin Transcription Project. The onboarding looked legitimate — funded milestone, clear instructions, and an apparent link to reputable clients. However, once inside, the structure became clear: • Training and onboarding were unpaid, despite taking hours. • Pay was conditional on 100% acceptance of each microtask, with no pay for corrections or partially correct work. • The “expected time per task” (5–10 minutes) was unrealistic, especially given the dense tagging rules and quality expectations. • Communication was vague, and deadlines kept being extended while new workers were continuously added, creating the illusion of progress but effectively crowdsourcing free labor. I passed their quality test with a perfect score, yet it was obvious the system was designed to favor quantity over genuine linguistic skill. The data contributors are treated as interchangeable, even though their work trains AI speech models. In short: If you value your time or your professional expertise, think twice before joining.
