    The issues there are more in the realm of financial fraud than PII issues (and that is the other half of why no worker should be dealing w/ this and its squarely in AMTs domain as the platform maintainer imo)

    Workers used to be able to send money back to requesters via AMT but they deleted it. AMT definitely needs to fix it.

    It's purely business. That req is your customer, so in this scenario they overpaid for your labor and you're just refusing to give them change.`

    I wasn't even thinking about self doxxing. There would be at least a small amount of protection since it seems the requester did this to several people though.

    I feel like this is a really dumb situation that should be easily fixable in some way. Beyond setting up a separate paypal for stuff like this (which seems like a complete waste of time for the random chance this happens) I'm not really sure what else I would do. Mtself personally I wouldn't care tooooo much about them knowing my name/email but that's risk for each person to consider individually.

    Thank you for the explanation. So there's no way to return the money to them via Mturk? Mturk customer service doesn't care, I guess, lol. Sending money to them via PayPal seems sketchy to me. Ugh, I don't know what to do. : ( I don't want to get into trouble and have my account banned or something.

    I don't think you will have to worry about that, this happened to me years ago, it wasn't 19 diff bonuses, but just one bonus bigger than it should have been. They did it to a bunch of workers, and many workers just ignored the email asking for it back.

    Could just make a hit and assign it to them with the amount in question as payment....maybe make them answer a funny question or something to complete it.


    Then reject it

    again pls don't ever take advice from me like why are you even considering this.
