Have been work for them a couple hours, got enough money through task. And got my account blocked. They took my ID, passport. It is such a fraud

I am an IT professional, and I have never seen a more broken, hostile, and insultingly stupid on-boarding process in my life.

1. The Technical Nightmare: To start, they force you to create a specific Microsoft email just for them. Their system is broken—permission popups fail, links don't work, and you have to fight browser settings just to connect. I spent hours setting up their 'UHRS' access.

2. The Instant Ban (The Bait & Switch): After finally resolving their errors and getting the 'Congratulations, you are connected' screen, I thought I was ready. Wrong. The very next morning, I received an automated email saying my account was suspended for 'inconsistencies.' No human contact. After wasting my entire day setting up their broken system, they blocked me before I earned a cent.

3. The Insult: Then, to 'unlock' the account they banned for no reason, they demanded scans of my Passport and private documents. Why trust a company with my ID when they can't even build a working login form?

UPDATE: The Final kick in the teeth. I emailed their support and legal teams demanding they delete my data under GDPR because I'm done with them. Their system immediately sent an automated reply saying: 'We closed this email request. Please log in to our helpdesk portal to submit a ticket.'

YOU BANNED ME. I CANNOT LOG IN TO THE PORTAL.

They trap you in a bureaucratic loop where you have to log in to fix the fact that you can't log in. This company is not just incompetent; they are maliciously obstructive. Avoid at all costs.

I worked consistently on Clickworker, maintained good accuracy, and followed the platform guidelines. However, when it came time for payment, my account was permanently suspended after a “security check,” with no clear explanation or opportunity to verify my identity.

I repeatedly asked to submit documents and requested a manual review, but I was told the decision was final. As someone who depends on this income, the experience was extremely stressful and disappointing.

I understand the need for security, but honest workers deserve transparency, communication, and a fair verification process—especially when earnings are involved.

This was my personal experience. Others may differ, but I hope the platform improves how it handles genuine workers.

What a load of nonsense and the amount of personal information you have to give makes it questionable. Stay away and the $ you earn is questionable.
They made an excuse it is for tax but I will do my tax myself and not give it to a foreign company . For the money you are getting ! This is unecessary

I would like to file a complaint regarding the ClickWorker-related platform that operates through Telegram. Although the money shown in the balance appears to be real, the entire system is managed by AI “mentors” or bots, and it works as a pyramid-style scheme that pressures users to invest increasing amounts of money in order to access higher bonuses.

In my case, the daily tasks were presented as 3 sets of 30 campaigns. While completing them, a bonus suddenly appeared. Even if you don’t want to accept it, the system forces it on you. As a result, all the money you previously had in your balance becomes a negative bonus amount. To recover both your existing balance and the bonus, you are required to deposit money through highly suspicious banking or crypto methods in order to finish the campaigns.

What happened to me was the following: I started doing the campaigns, reached the forced bonus, and my balance suddenly showed –700€. To supposedly receive my balance of a little over 1,000€, I had to deposit 700€. After making that deposit, I was only about 8 campaigns away from completing the day and finally being able to withdraw my money — but then a second “rare” bonus appeared. This pushed my negative balance to –1,200€, meaning I would have to deposit that amount in order to recover my money and the so-called bonus.

The worst part is that the bots keep encouraging you, insisting your balance is “safe” and telling you to take your time to gather the money. Meanwhile, your funds remain locked, and there is no guarantee that another forced bonus won’t appear again, demanding even more deposits. The more money you have in your balance, the higher the forced bonuses become, trapping you further.

I invested 700€, and that money is currently stuck. Every “mentor” or bot tells users the same scripted phrases, offering no security or reassurance. This system is designed to keep extracting money from people under the illusion of high earnings, but in reality it traps users in an endless cycle of deposits and fake bonuses. It is a scam, and it needs to be exposed.

They now suspend accounts claiming they detected multiple accounts. How can someone even open multiple accounts with the same ID? And why tell me that after I've completed some tasks?
AVOID WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY!

Writing daily income 500

They asked me to send them a government-issued ID so I can sign up.. even though I explained to them back and forth that I cannot share such a personal document they didn't want to hear it. I feel it very shady for any non governmental website to ask for your official ID which contains very sensitive information.

They will suspend your account for no good reason after you have completed tasks. Avoid!!

I signed up for this site. After filling up my data, I was reminded to complete my profile, which involved entering a lot of the same data again.

Then I started clicking on 'Instant jobs'. I must have tried around fifty different ones. Almost all of them involved responding to pretty much the exact same questions again and again (job, number of children, family income, etc). But every single time, I was told eventually that due to my answers I didn't qualify. So, great, you have my information, but instead of screening what I qualify and what I don't qualify for, you just keep offering endless surveys that I don't qualify for, and in 100% of the cases I have to spend time answering the exact same questions for nothing.

Regarding these questions, at one point I truly wondered if this app was a joke. Asking me what region in Spain I live in, and then if my evergy company is some energy company from Oregon. Asking questions about my number of children who are minors where every gender and age is an option, so you have dozens of those, like if a child had designed the survey. Asking questions where sometimes the titles or the options seemed nonsensical, or like mistranslations. At some point, I truly wondered if the app was a real thing or if this was just a cover up for some kind of scam.

I haven't seen something this surreal in a very long time. Truly bizarre. I'll share the story with family and friends just for them to know how jarring it was.

I have been a Clickworker user since February and completed a large recording task worth €100. I spent almost 10 hours completing it. The task was marked “completed,” and my balance was updated, meaning they acknowledged the work.

Then, without a human listening to anything (it is all AI or bots apparently), the system auto-rejected the entire job for “bad quality/background noise.” I used a proper microphone and followed every instruction. Support closed my ticket instantly and refused any manual review.

This is completely unfair and feels deceptive.
Clickworker cannot withhold payment for fully completed work after generating an invoice.

I am requesting a real human re-evaluation and payment of the €100 that I rightfully earned.

If this cannot be resolved internally, I will be required to escalate the issue through the proper channels in Germany where Clickworker GmbH is headquartered, as well as through the UK financial and digital services ombudsman, since I am now working from the United Kingdom.

I will update this review when Clickworker resolves this situation.

UPDATE After Clickworker’s New Response:

After posting my review, Clickworker responded with a completely different explanation than before. Initially, they claimed the €100 task was rejected because of “bad quality/background noise.” Now they are suddenly saying my account was suspended for “multiple accounts from different countries,” which is not true and was never mentioned in any of the earlier support replies.

I have never created multiple accounts, and Clickworker has provided no evidence of this claim. Not a single screenshot, log, or verification point has been shared — only automated messages.

This raises serious concerns about internal consistency and transparency. If Clickworker believes a rule was violated, EU and German consumer protection law require them to provide documented proof when withholding payment for completed work. I have repeatedly requested this proof and received none.

The €100 task was completed fully, my balance was updated, and an invoice for €12 was generated. Payment cannot be withheld without verifiable justification.

Unless a proper human review takes place and evidence is provided, I will be proceeding with:

European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR)

German Verbraucherzentrale (consumer authority)

PayPal dispute for unpaid work

Filing the case with independent platform monitor organisations

I will continue updating this review based on Clickworker’s actions. I am still hoping for a fair resolution and the payment that is legally owed for the work completed.

I had a super bad experience with clickworker. First they make you install an app that constantly wants to know your location and tries to access you audio and video. It feels like I am being spyed on. Then they only let you connect you bank account so this feels unsafe. The pay is not that good either. I have a much better experience with swagbucks or branded surveys. Finally they make it very difficult to delete your account.

scam!
locks your account instead of paying out, wants you to submit a copy of id to resolve it, the ultimate identity theft red flag.

avoid at all cost!

Edit:
Never under any circumstances send anyone a photo or copy of your id! Period.

Clickworkers response is bs! There is no excuse for asking for it. Period.

I'm really shocked that this site got this much 5 stars, 66%! How people?!! I wanted to join, even GPT put Clickslaver at first when I asked it to rank the sites I should join first!

Are all those 5 stars paid comments? Maybe yeah, since people won't lie, but the sites will, that's how they KILL YOU SLOWLY! Stay away people plz!

I read some 1 star review of the people. I got the idea that they are scam, maybe like SproutGigs, aka I call it Stinkgigs lol. I'm a supporter with all 1 star and all the people who had bad experiences. I hope all our review will help people to avoid this site and bring down to 1 star review overall, C'mon people we can do it! Let's destroy these guy's existence!!

Not recommended for anyone to join them. All the tasks are meaningless, lots of labor, less feedback, delayed response, and found it was of time and energy.

Not a terrible experience but definitely not a good one. Some of their "tasks" seem scamish. I had an issue when first signing up. I hadn't gotten the email from the first signup, so I figured it wasn't valid then used the email that I should have used to begin with and was basically accused of fraud in so many words. I get trying to figure out who is lying and who isn't, but there is a way to do this and tact was not used whatsoever. I was able to get that straighten out so I think okay just a bad apple (but seeing some of these responses to reviews from this company, I can see that it is not just one bad apple) and go on my merry way. I did some surveys here and there and then started to meet the requirements for their UHRS section until I started seeing the tasks requiring personal information which they clearly state to you repeatedly when doing a task to not give any personal information out but yet I need to send a pic of my id or my SS card? That did not sit well with me at all, so I basically walked away from my account. It is probably suspended now due to inactivity but I have no intentions of ever reinstating my account. There are much better ways to earn some side cash. (Date below is an estimate of last login)

Clickworker has a lot of potential — I just hope folks like me can access it globally. About the U.S. laws, they can still pay workers from abroad with gift cards. Just a wish, not a complaint. So disappointing. Please make it globally available

I joined and right away they started pushing for my tax details in the form of my social security number. I'm very wary of giving that out to anybody online, so I opted to skip that step until later. I wanted to try their site out first to get a feel for its legitimacy. Good thing for me!
I attempted to take several surveys and they all said I wasn't a good match after initially saying I was and after I answered a few questions. The only "jobs" that paid were the tutorial videos which pay .01 each. Not worth the time.
I finally decided to come to Trustpilot to see if I was the only one who found the whole setup a bit dodgy. I can see that many have experienced problems AFTER giving out their SS numbers and bank info. That's enough for me. It's a hard pass on continuing to work with Clickworker. I know of too many legitimate micro-work companies to deal with their nonsense.
