Its an urgent task needs to be finish 1 day, so i did it overnight. I was able to submit and send the project through email. However right after I received an email that my payment of $850 was on hold until i pay the Non resident tax fee: $20.00, before i cant received the said amount. Below is the email that i received.

Did over 600+ voice recordings had a very quiet location submitted them all within time frame the next day they're all rejected stating that there was no three second pause before and after the recordings. Did this two almost three times same thing I highly doubt that 600 plus recordings were actually reviewed I took time out of my day to complete these for $93 conversation which I see now that I will not get because once again recordings are rejected in which looks like less than a day turnaround. The communication is not good, transparency doesn't seem to be there don't know who I'm talking to don't get much feedback other than do I need a deadline and three record nothing more than that. I then get an email stating that I will be removed from the project and that all of my reportings will be deleted and then I will not be able to work on for the projects which doesn't seem right you're not able to talk to a live person you don't know which recordings if any were reviewed or which were not quite right it just doesn't make sense when I've done things like this with other companies with no problem. I do not recommend that you work with this company and expect to get paid it seems like my recordings may be used and I not get compensated! Note my recordings were NOT rejected because excessive of noise.

Participe en estudio para esta empresa y debo añadir que fue una excelente experiencia, gente muy amable y todo puntual, así como la compensación por ser parte de estudio. Más que recomendable

They are doing complete fraud work. It does not behave like the project manager with whom the commitment was made. And those who don't give money are just cheaters. They forget when the work is done and don't even pay

I was asked to read a book and and capture sounds at computer, 3hours for 150USD, which may be 6hours all together.
However, they assume you live in an absolutely quiet surrounding, have at least a semi-professsional microphone (webcam not possible) and you are a semi-professional reader (which may never ever be a professional after computer will make your work in the future after this task and you give up all your rights).

I tried, bought headset for 89Euros, but however I got always sound problems like unpredictable cracks.

I live in village and always there are interruptions in sounds like smashing doors, trucks, birds, dogs, children...

If you read how long you may wait your money, I don't suggest to make this work.

I actually completed one of the tasks called Quality Check Batch which was a Hindi content reviewing, I toiled day and night working on the project and slept only for 3 hours for almost 3 consecutive days and completed the project on February 19 2024.I was promised to give compensation for half checked or verified task and rest was under the process of reviewing, I have mails as proofs. They did pay me half of the compensation. I want to add something here that the google listing is full of negative reviews and the rating is too low, but I did not pay any heed to them and placed my full faith in the company. Now it unfortunate to experience that despite writing so many mails the company is now not communicating or responding to my mails. I don't want to bother neither Dataforce nor Trustpilot, but I am being compelled to write a review, at the same time have full faith in Trustpilot that would certainly help me giving a justice to my valued time and hard work. Please help me out.

Completed a project 2 months ago. It was accepted. Then there was a delay waiting for the payment. Today I was notified that my project was rejected - even though they previously said it was accepted - and the excuse they gave for rejecting it was total bs. This is not a legitimate company.

I also think it's interesting that they're saying they're being impersonated. The people I'm dealing with are dataforce.zendesk.com which is one of the domains that they list as being legitimate.

Sono stata contattata per un progetto di registrazione di file audio. Ho completato i tasks nei tempi previsti e poi sono scappati. Non rispondono alle mail
Da evitare assolutamente

Det er rent svindel, måske noget politiet skulle se nærmere på.
Jeg har modtaget betaling nu efter at jeg skrev her

Update to my review below: The team got in contact and a lovely lady called Joyce Chen from Transperfect organised payment. So all sorted now

Terrible - wish I had read the reviews before signing up. 6 months later and still chasing payment :(

They have not paid me for 3 tasks, in over 2 months for 2 email collection tasks, and over 1 month for a 500 sentence recording task. I email them over, and over, and no response. I want to get paid!
If i get paid, i will change this review, but as of now, 1 star, bad communication, most likely scammed me out of my time and money!
Stay away!
edit-
They even messaged me on email that they will issue a payment within the week, that was more than a week ago. I feel like i'm never going to get my money, stay away!!!
Edit- They send me an email everyday to "fix my review", 0 communication, late pay, but when i make it public they email me daily to change my review. I will leave it as one star, because that's what they deserve. 0 communication when i needed my overdue payment, now all of the sudden its everyday? They email me?

I'm leaving this as a warning , they recently put up an ad asking for leases and bank statements !! There is no way they're legit ,do not give them your info

I recently completed a recording project with them starting the first week of February. Two times after completing it, they complain about something that wasn't done right instead of letting me know about my payments. Then the representative wants to mention when I complete the second phase and the recording are approved then they'll move forward. She reaches out to me saying that she's waiting to hear from QA. It's been two months and still no payment yet. What kind of joke are they playing?

Updated review (March 20, 2024): I finally received payment last week. While the process to submit photos is pretty straightforward, the lack of communication and unexplained delay in payment could still use improvement.

Original review: Submitted annotated photos in December 2023. Since then I have had no feedback except when I inquire as to the status of my projects. Then I am told that they have to go through the QA process. At this point in late Feb 2024, I am writing this company off as a scam.

I got my money after complaining about my bad experience on Trustpilot. Not happy that their communication was so bad and that I had to complain first, but they eventually do pay. They also sent me the wrong details first, but fixed it quick.

Sono stata contattata per partecipare ad un progetto da svolgersi in presenza che prevedeva delle sessioni periodiche.
Ho partecipato, come da indicazioni alla prima sessione e dopo sono spariti. Non rispondono più nemmeno alle mail. Ho perso alcune ore del mio tempo e non mi hanno retribuita. Da evitare assolutamente

Thank you for the feedback and for re-opening the in-taker. It's much appreciated.

Update to Transperfect's response:

- No, Transperfect's verbiage was NOT clear, and they're speaking out of both sides of their mouth as it were, since they already acknowledged that their verbiage was unclear to me directly prior in emails, and now are changing their tune on that. And their manager confirmed it was $50 per session AFTER I had already done the job, not before like they are making it sound. As well, when I showed other people the original solicitation email they sent me, which I still have, I asked them how much it seemed like Transperfect was paying people and everyone said $150.00 even if I didn't bias them with that answer, they came up with the same thing as me. This is for a very specific reason that Transperfect was likely crafty about. They deliberately write $50 per "project", rather than use the word job, and there were three projects, making the reader conclude they are getting $150.

- Transperect has incorrectly stated twice, that the work was not for voice translation. That's wrong. Voice translation is their original words on the emails, not mine. I can show anyone who asks, which shows that they are dishonest here on Trustpilot as well. Regardless of the nomenclature, when they hired me for the work it was understood by both sides that this meant me doing voiceover work, reading aloud audio, which I performed for them well beyond their estimated time. Specifically, they acknowledge that I completed that work in full when they paid me the $50 instead of the $150 and that it took six hours, not the twenty five minutes they said it would take per project.

********Original complaint below****** :

On August the 1st, 2023, I was contacted by one Jose Pablo Ramirez, of Transperfect Dataforce. The company at the time claimed to be able to offer me a "25 minute" gig, where I could assist with voice translations over an app. What happened next is that my dealings with them seemed to expose a broader scam going on, ranging across multiple people.

Dataforce, Transperfect's subsidiary, seems to be operating as a kind of boiler room call center scam, where they recruit labor nationally, that they have no intention of paying for their work by deliberately inducing erroneous work clauses to illegally claim contract breaching.

In my case, I followed the parameters of their job they floated me that would supposedly pay $150. Right from the start, they tell the person they solicit that they will only pay the person the $150, if 100% of the job gets completed, this means 3 out of 3 tasks they assign you.

On a hunch that something was wrong, when the company kept finding nonsensical ways to say that I didn't complete the first job, I did some light investigating. It appears there's a possible class action suit in the works, as there's legions of people across the internet (TrustPilot, Google Reviews, etc.) all claiming some version of the same thing: That Dataforce solicited them for labor, and then found an obscure way to not have to pay them.

In my case, I kept re-doing the work for Dataforce over and over. Something to the effect of 7 times. At least 3 of those times I was told either that I had missed one sentence—that I hadn't— or it was simply the app's fault, as it was a buggy interface. I would reach out to Jose or Transperfect, and ask to re-do just that line. They would ask me to record the entire job task all over again. It seemed to be a tactic of "digging holes and filling them back in" so to speak, to wear down the worker, even though the company has already reaped the benefit of the original labor. This seems to be a tactic of trying to wear the person down, so they don't fulfill their contract.

Also in my case, like others, it seems absurd to pay me $0 of translation work out of $150, when what they claim I did is 99% of the job.

In total, the "25 minutes of work" I was told I would do, became about 6 hours in total of working and re-working, for $50 they claimed was all the pay was supposed to be.
Over 55+ emails and 4 phone calls, over a month into this, is I got paid a lousy $50 for FINISHING THE JOB, 1/3 what it seemed I was expressly offered at start. As well, it is clear there's others who were never paid in similar scenarios. As well, they did NOT clarify in a follow up email it was only $50 until AFTER I did the work.

After my negative review here, I was paid after all. Nevertheless, I cannot award more than three stars, as it is not acceptable that the support does not respond for weeks and I had to go this route to receive my payment.

I was approached to translate some documents from English to Arabic from a "Project Manager" claiming to be from Transperfect. The wage was discussed and procedure. On completion, I submitted the work and was then told to pay 300 USD up front and secure a payment link in order to receive the funds for the completed task. This was not agreed upon or discussed before completing the task. I can only assume it is a scam.
