@HSBC_UK @ASPolice @metpoliceuk @CityPolice @MetCC - this scam is using a HSBC *UK* account. Come on. Someone in the UK must be able to do something about this!

.@HSBC_UK @ASPolice @metpoliceuk @CityPolice CYBERCRIME IN PROGRESS: Someone appears to be trying to defraud students at Queen Mary University of London using an HSBC UK bank account. The (alleged) fraudster has attempted to impersonate Queen Mary University of London and has requested payment of £850.00 for tuition fees into an HSBC UK account. Here's a screenshot of the email I received. Queen Mary uses qmul.ac.uk, NOT kct.ac.in or qmul-ac.store for their domain. Additionally, these are not QMUL's usual bank details for payment of tuition fees! As this is using a UK bank account, please can you investigate further? Please DM me if you'd like IP addresses, original email headers, etc. CC @HSBC @QMUL

Hi @Prolific, researcher + client here. Your dashboard keeps giving a 500 Error. Looks like you have some bad Javascript here (seeing this in the JS error console): "index-CIs5ycgj.js:29 Uncaught (in promise) AxiosError: Request failed with status code 500 at XB (index-CIs5ycgj.js:29:1092) at XMLHttpRequest.A (index-CIs5ycgj.js:29:5970)" See screenshot. ETA for a fix? I have tried different browser, and disabling plugins... not a good first-time customer experience :S

Hi, former cybersecurity guy here. @NHSScotland has been hacked and is linking to porn sites, malware, gambling, amongst other nasty things. List of compromised URLs: google.com/search?q=site%… Please check your patient records have not been compromised. Please investigate @UKGovScotland @FOIScotland @ICOnews

@NHSScotland Some of the websites @NHSScotland is linking to currently from their website - including adult live cam site @chaturbate

I think it's time to look into competitors like @Prolific , @CloudResearch or @ Atrocious experience with MTurk. I definitely do NOT recommend Amazon MTurk/AWS to other researchers. How Amazon can have an amazing support for their retail arm, but so terrible for AWS, is surprising.

UPDATE #1 - pretty unhelpful reply from @amazonmturk @AWSSupport So... basically "yeah weve suspended your account, no, were not going to tell you why, or do anything to help, even though you're a paying customer with a premium AWS support plan"

.@AmazonMturk has an awful, awful signup process, I don't even know where to begin. My story: I am an MSc-level student researcher conducting a study of 140 participants on perceptions of psychotherapy and coaching. Firstly, when you signup with MTurk, you have to do the cumbersome process of linking your AWS Billing account to your MTurk account -- you can no longer apparently just buy some MTurk credits with a credit card. No, you have to setup AWS, and that is a hassle in itself. Once you have prepared your MTurk HIT and have gone to the hassle of linking your AWS Billing Account, adding a payment method, verifying, etc, you can't just launch your task for workers. Oh no. You have to then *manually* email Amazon to ask for a credit limit increase. And then you have to wait for them to manually approve the increase (could be a few days). Your first MTurk HIT will always fail to launch because for some strange reason, they set the spend limit at $0.02 -- so effectively, you can't launch any MTurk HITS off the bat. And then -- my account got BANNED for literally no reason. They said "that your Requester account is related to another Amazon Mechanical Turk account that was closed for violation of the MTurk Participation Agreement." I've never used Amazon MTurk before in my life! Maybe others at my university might have? Not me. But apparently my account is now suspended. And despite being a paying customer with a paid-for Amazon account (I got the premium support option thinking I'd get a better level of support), they basically said they won't help me, and I have to now email their dedicated appeals email address (which by the way, free accounts can also email -- so not sure why I am even paying for premium support at this stage). Perhaps I should use @Prolific, @CloudResearch or @clickworker_com instead? I'd be happy to take my business elsewhere if Amazon are going to make things this awkward and cumbersome... @amazon @AWSSupport @amazonmturk Please do better. This has been an atrocious experience for me as a new customer! Rant over. #rant

@AWSSupport OK, I've DM'd with context and case ID. Please check your DMs.

@theNickHatter Hi Nick. I'm so sorry for the concern. If you'd like to share your case ID with us via DM, we'd be happy to take a look and pass along your feedback. ^SA twitter.com/messages/compo…

@ChatGPTapp, I'm having problems accessing ChatGPT via your website. Seems that you've decided to stick that annoying CloudFlare service in front of it. Please investigate (am a paying customer). The page keeps refreshing with the CloudFlare saying 'Verifying...'

@NVIDIAGFN @redditGaming @elonmusk any plans for some kind of cloud gaming service? If anyone can pull a good one off, it's you. 👍

I have to say, I was really hyped for @NVIDIAGFN, but the signup process so far has been incredibly buggy and disappointing... plus, it sucks that they make you have to purchase the game from a third party. Anyone else having problems with signing up? CC @redditGaming

So @tiktok_uk STILL haven't taken down a fake account impersonating me on TikTok. Come on, @tiktok... sort it out! (Please) This is *not* my profile - see screenshot. And yes, I reported via the official channels. Haven't heard a peep back...

@MaciekThumbs Great :) sent you a DM - test 1... 2!

@theNickHatter Agh thanks a lot! I had no idea! Should be fixed now :)

@MaciekThumbs note: your DMs on Twitter are closed! You could be losing potential clients / leads... make sure you enable DMs.

@MaciekThumbs This is a SOLID advice thread Maciek, thank you! Hopefully one day, I'll have the budget to invest in your epic thumbnail services 😎

I've made over 1,500 thumbnails for business and podcast creators since 2023. (yes, really) Some got 500 views, others got 500,000. Here are the 6 biggest lessons that separate viral thumbnails from the low performers. 👇
