Well I found the forum on Minute Workers. I couldn't help but to post this:
I'll cut straight to it!
Threats of removing me from membership immediately upon sign up. I literally combed through every possible record of signing up at any time since I started doing my investigation of online opportunities 2 1/2 years ago. Then I tried the first opportunity for 25 cents to go to a website and stay there for "a significant amount of time" then report back with the URL and my IP address only to find out I wasn't paid 25 cents because of some "exploitation". What an odd time to tell me this!
This put up yellow lights for me so I looked over more of the "opportunities". I found two red lights immediately. I have a great reputation in craigslist as I use it to sell and to post a job opportunity myself. I read their terms and conditions. Obviously so have some of your "employers"! They know they can't advertise superfluously and remain part of craigslist! So they ask people on this sight to risk their reputation on craigslist by posting ads and getting paid for doing so. Not allowed boys and girls!
I blew it for another company by sending out a message to my readers about their ill gotten "offers" only to be sabotaged by their people. But I don't care, I have a powerful online reputation and if that's what I have to do to keep it, that's what I'll continue to do!

Minute Workers scam review
I would have never signed up for this opportunity normally. However, the detective in me was screaming to investigate this program I heard of recently and put it off until I had a few minutes to mess around with it. It took all of ten minutes for me to see major concerns, yellow lights and red lights! (my way of saying reasons to wonder about the sight itself. Here's what I've found so far:
I've been doing this for quite a few years so it's hard to know definitively whether or not if I ever signed up with it in years past. If you do sign up twice for this program you will have your ability to do any activities disabled and never allowed back again! So check. put your email addresses you may have used one by one and see if they find your address in their system! I also checked my book of all programs I ever joined in the last 2 1/2 years.
I then did the first task available on their list. It said by going to one website, stay there for a "considerable amount of time" then report back with your IP address and the URL of the web site. When you check to see if you are credited for this task you find out only then that the offer came from a business that was "exploited" by a spammer so you were not credited the promised .25 for completing the task.
I then scanned the list for other opportunities and a huge red light went up because I found a few opportunities that is just not acceptable!
You post a job on craigslist and in turn get .70 for doing it. I advertise on craigslist and have read the terms and conditions to remain a member of craigslist. It's against the rules of craigslist to post ads on their sight and be paid to do so. Unless your membership with craigslist isn't that important to you, you may want to rethink doing this task.
The bottom line is do you want to be part of a program that has lots of red colored sentences warning of being banned from the sight for doing bad things, even making mistakes to get you banned? Do you want to be part of an online income opportunity with threats, one offer that really won't ever pay you, and two that want to ruin your reputation on any website, all on the first page? I for one will not. But I will be back in there to find any further problems with joining it! Hmmmmm!
