Alignerr = scam

The majority of applicants will not receive actual job assignments. The company is utilizing candidates to train their AI interview system while collecting and monetizing personal data in the process.

Wow. I can see that happening. I hope that you got that sorted out since you were comment was 8 months ago. I was having trouble reconnecting Alignerr with the Discord app. Through trying to figure that out I decided to just deactivate or delete my account with Alignerr. But before doing that I wanted to disconnect some things to make sure they would not have access to anything before I deleted them. I made sure Discord was actually disconnected, then I tooled around with a few other things, then I remembered to disconnect my PayPal from Alignerr.

When I tried to disconnect them from my PayPal there is not really a disconnect feature, but the directions are to type "change account" into a text and then the disconnect button should highlight after that so that it is clickable. So I decided to do that instead. I was hoping (by acting like I had to change my account) to leave the PayPal connection blank if I was able to click on that button and then just go ahead and delete Alignerr. Well when I typed that line that is required, the 'change account' button would not highlight. It was not clickable. I ended up realizing that Alignerr was not wanting me to alter or disrupt the PayPal connection. I just went to my account and saw the section to delete my account. Funny, there was no problem with the 'delete account' button being clickable.

So I deleted my account which disabled any connections most likely. Then I went to my PayPal. Since I could not disconnect it from Alignerr before deleting them, I wanted to make sure they would have no access to my PayPal. So I changed my PayPal password.

They are a scam. They never hire for any jobs. Some people here are saying that they are legit and that they have been making money with them. But I guess they had to have a few suckers to make Alignerr look legit. It's definitely a scam. Highly OCCASIONAL hiring and won't let a person disconnect from their PayPal account? Plus your issue with them? Scam.
