Review Time
I just want to add myself to the list of people who have accused DataForce of scamming them. I was approved to work on one of their projects recently, a voice recording one. I was given 7 business days to complete it, and I completed it far before the deadline. Despite DataForce saying I would get feedback on it within 10 business days, I didn’t hear from anyone. I contacted them at the 11-day mark and was congratulated on completing the task, then told it would take 10 business days for their quality assurance process to finish (even though 10 days had already passed; should’ve been a red flag).
A few days later, I was told that just a handful of my recordings needed to be redone, and I had 48 hours to do it. However, 24 hours later I got an e-mail from them saying that I hadn’t completed the original recordings on time (a lie) and that I hadn’t redone the new recordings on time (impossible as the 48-hour deadline had not elapsed yet). Therefore, I would not be paid. I replied to them, contradicting their claims in detail. But guess what? I never heard back. Really professional, right? And also interesting, considering how quickly they responded when they were trying to get me to record in the first place.
The thing is, there were more than a few red flags that should have put me on notice. The numerous complaints on Reddit and TrustPilot about the company either delaying payments or unfairly denying them after people completed work (go ahead, Google it). The aggressiveness with which they badgered me to start work on the project (I got an e-mail about it the day after I got approved). The utter lack of communication after I finished the project. With each unprofessional act, I grew more and more suspicious.
I’ve seen it mentioned on here before, but it seems like with a lot of people, their M.O. is to ask you to complete certain activities by certain deadlines, ignore you for a period of time afterwards, then pretend like you didn't meet those deadlines despite them being the ones who don't communicate. Reprehensible.
Do not waste your time with DataForce. There are other companies offering similar kind of work with a much better reputation. DataForce appears happy to exploit you knowing there is nothing you can do about it afterwards. I encourage you all to spread the word to everyone you know online and in real life to avoid this immoral company. In addition, if you’ve had a bad experience with them (and I know many of you have), I highly encourage you to leave them a negative review on TrustPilot and other review sites so that other people can be warned and spared of their malfeasance. We can fight back in our own ways.
I truly enjoyed my time with the company as a remote English language data annotator in Canada. The management team was exceptional, and the online community was wonderful! I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with them again soon!
I had an outstanding experience collaborating on the Cardamom Annotator project! The team was extremely professional, communication was seamless, and everything was exceptionally well organized. I would definitely enjoy working together again on future projects. Highly recommended!
My experience with the team was fantastic. The moderators were professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. They consistently provide applicants with fair opportunities to work on special projects and earn extra income, which is greatly appreciated in challenging economic times. Thank you!
