Hey guys,
So after working for an indian guy on upwork doing copywriting, he's telling me about a business plan where I open an AMAZON Mturk account (Honestly I don't know what this was before he brought it up but its basically jobs robots can't do) and have him and his partners work on the projects I sign up for.
He said when I make $100 I'll transfer $80 to him and then keep $20 to myself. I basically don't do anything except have the account open. To me, this seems like easy money but sort've unethical.. I just would like to know your guys thoughts on this, especially since you all have so much experience in Entrepreneurship.
I am a naive and curious individual so sometimes I'm unsure of whether something is too good to be true or worth it. I guess my bullshit meters going off right now haha..
Nothing illegal about that. It's called sub-contracting.
What you'd want to find out, is if that's against amazon's terms of service... that, I couldn't tell you.
If you're bullshit meter is going off, then walk away. Always go with your gut.
The biggest question in my mind, is why this guy needs you to open an account.
