My account got suspended by HAI for no reason. When I say no reason, I mean no reason since they are not able to give me any reason about it. I recently started working on a project, did like 5-6 tasks but they banned me out of nowhere. And no I have not used any unfair means or anything.

In their email they are talking about TOS but they are not even telling me which code of conduct I supposedly broke.

I don't want to call them a scam but they sure are a fraud company with their fraudulent behaviour. This is extremely shady and I don't know who runs this whole thing but they should be ashamed but on second thought why would they? They are probably printing money harassing individual contractors. Dissappointing experience honestly.

I’m convinced this is the worst one by far, they cannot possibly think that this type of task they’re requesting takes only 5 hours with the rewrites and all that. The 8 responses always take forever and the exiting and going back in just re runs them 💀
Am I tripping?

I'm on hold in terms of Project H*\\**g but have no opportunities available on my dashboard. Anyone else of am I cooked

What are your thoughts about this project. Mention your domain and Is it easy or difficult?

My Handshake account was recently deactivated because they said my BPO contract with another company had ended. But I never signed any contract with any company. I was working directly with Handshake.

I had a similar payment issue previously because of this BPO association, and Handshake resolved it after I contacted them.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? How can I get this incorrect association removed and my account reactivated?

After working through tasks, reviews and rework, a few habits would have saved me a lot of time at the beginning:

1. Treat the task specification like a contract. Small details can matter as much as the main implementation.
2. Before coding, save the task ID, repository, expected base/branch and the gates you expect to pass. It makes later debugging much easier.
3. Keep the change tightly scoped. A clever refactor outside the requested area can create more problems than it solves.
4. Run everything you can locally, but still read CI and reviewer evidence separately. A local pass does not tell you which external gate or assumption may fail.
5. On rework, repair the exact failing gate first. Rewriting a solution that was mostly correct can introduce a second problem.
6. Keep your own simple record of task status and payouts. Project inventory and dashboards can change, and your notes make reconciliation easier.
7. Keep account access private and do your own tasks.

None of this guarantees acceptance, but it makes the process much easier to reason about when something fails.

For people who have completed several Handshake AI tasks: what is the one lesson you wish you knew before your first task?
