OK, i'm starting to get sketched out by textbroker.

I was fine with them when they asked me for my drivers license. After I got that, I was cleared to start doing work. I found one job I liked, did it, and the client accepted it. I was browsing around on the site, and saw to payout you needed to use paypal. To set this up, you had to send in some tax form they have listed.

I faxed the tax form to them, and a few hours later I get an e-mail stating that they need to verify that I am a US resident. They want a scan of my social security card, passport, and some other tax document they are supposedly sending to me.

Why the hell would they want all this when they have my drivers license?

Is it really permissible for Textbroker clients to post orders with a set word count, but then threaten to reject submissions if they aren't several hundred words beyond it? That seems shady as all hell.

"Yes we want 600 words, but will only pay you for 300 of them." Yeah, okay.

When I was doing textbroker, I remember there was an announcement made saying to report or contact them about any jobs that said that. It's against their rules for a client to do that.
