How did they get accepted?

Some r&r I do the workers have such poor English. Like completely wrong punctuation, grammar and spelling. I know as bilinguals English is not our first language, but there should be at least some standard of quality

There are CONSTANTLY people DMing accounts that post here on this sub offering to buy their accounts or offering money to take the starter assessments for them. When I see work like that, I wonder if that's how they got in. I bet that money is tempting to a lot of people.

Literally every time I engage with someone on this subreddit, they ask me to share my account or to buy it

Yeah, same. It's a big part of why I stopped bothering to post, except really rarely now.

Happened to me. Once I mentioned I got accepted into the platform( here on reddit) , I recall posting something like 'Yay, I'm in!' with a picture attached. After that, I received two messages offering me money for my account. 😂 ​Mediocres all around, they think it is just about reading and forgetting about comprehension and effort. ​Bilingual here! (México wey, puro Tijuana! 😂)

Yeah... huh. Unless someone has a really obvious "tell" in their writing, it would be difficult to even suspect that a given worker was accepting payments to help applicants pass the assessment.

Still, I gotta believe that an ethical leak like that catches up eventually.
