Does this sound fishy?

[TheRallymethod]

I have an ad on craigslist for my writing services and honestly, I've been making a solid $600-$800 monthly with it.

Well, this lady replied to the AD and asked me could I help her pass a typing test. She said it's not for a job or anything, she just want a typing test certificate saying complete. So I said cool whatever, I charged her $30.00 to complete the test on a website that she gave me and completed a certificate. The website look janky, it's a freegames website and they have typing test. She insisted that I had to take the 5 minute typing test at at least 50wpm. I type 70 wpm though, so I've knocked that out for her. I completed it and she paid me through GooglePay, I got my money and it was all good. She reached back out to me the next day and said she need two more test done and all the test must have her name on them as if she completed the test. So I completed the second test, and she paid me and everything was good. I haven't done the 3rd test yet, she doesn't need that one until the 29th.

I got concerned and emailed her "If you don't mind me asking, what are you using the typing test for"
She replied back "I'd rather not say".

Does this sound fishy, is it a chance the website could be a virus site?

sounds like she got a plan with the certs ...


if there was a problam with the website surly your secuity apps pick it up.

next time be more carefull doing this type of work.

hope you use a vps ?

Did you download anything from it? If not then your probably save plus your antivirus and / or google would have given a warning. Also it doesn’t make sense why would she pay you 90$ to just get you to get the virus. And why 3 times ? In that case 1 time should be sufficient. So basically don’t worry and enjoy the easy money

Sounds to me like she has some weird kind of fetish. I think next time she might ask you to dress up in stockings and video yourself doing the typing test.

 

[VisualKreators]

sound very fishy hahah

 

[Th3 Canadian 3h]

if you're not giving her any info and she's paying you why not? It would be fishy not to make the money and do the tests.

 

[TheRallymethod]

Ok. I was getting kind of worried. lol

There is a sting to catch people taking tests for others in the upper Mid-West and they are tossing people in jail left and right for that.

I'd be careful if I were you.

 

[illuminateme]

IMHO, it would depend highly what site you're doing the typing test in...

most likely she's reselling your service... if you're worried, get behind 7 proxies

Damn bro refer her my way, I type 92 wpm on a bad day

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Id pay you the same but you have to type naked, while standing on your head.

Old habits, eh, hard to break

 

[TheRallymethod]

I just emailed her and told her Im not going to be able to do it anymore, simply because I don't know what she's up to. I do typing test for people with my fiverr gigs, but at least fiverr serve as the middle man. There's no middle man here and I just don't like when people do sneaky things.

I just don't want to be apart of anything illegal. I just did it twice and has made $60 so far. So.

I think she's making more money that she paid you.
She have a "trick" what earns money with your typing skills
