The exchange rate varies but so far in all my withdrawals none has been lass than 359. As per the Fiverr or upwork, I am not aware if they pay to merchant accounts. There shouldn't be an issue though. Do you transcribe on those sites?

Not yet. But I believe one or two of us here should give it a try.


About the exchange rate, is it anything less than 350 or 340?

So, apparently, one of us snapped, and called Arlen a racist.

To think someone talked about racism here, and then another someone went on to use the exact words on Arlen.
Is there a chance that there are some people that have skipped this thread to start working on QA?
I don't want to believe the person came from this thread.
E no sweet at all.


Boys are not smiling.

Called her racist on slack?

Wow!

Some people are always eager to use the race card at the slightest opportunity which is very very wrong...

I really don't think that would help. The best option is to read up on the FAQs and other guidelines. But most importantly, to steer clear of of FC calls.

I just came from that thread where someone called Arlen a racist. The girl vex gan oh. Frankly, if you read that whole conversation, Arlen responded rudely and with thinly veiled insults. So, I can understand the annoyance of the lady. However, she should have just ignored instead of going back and forth with those scc guys. Last last, everybody go dey alright.

I have same issue. Tried linking the card but was declined even with the fund i made after registration. I later went to the customer service to pull up my account on his PC so that I'll know the card he gave me but to my surprise, i was issued a LOCAL HIGH instead of INTERNATIONAL HIGH. I was disappointed with them honestly. I was directed to another branch for the "Internacional high" and will go about that tomorrow.

Were you able to fix it. I have a problem similar. I first got the local high. Went back to get the international high and it paypal still rejected it.

Yeah, read through in the morning too. The truth is all the SCC are rude.

But people ask unnecessary and annoying question, something that a simple search on slack can solve.

Noticed it in mine too. Just move to the next stamp and type it there.
What matters is that you tag it to the right person that said it.

Arlen is fond of that. After saying what she wants to say, she'll take style and insult you codedly.
But it is Lia I don't really like. I try to avoid her all the time.

Tell the customer service attending to you to show you your profile so you can see for yourself.
There must've been an error somewhere.

With my experience so far, i guess it will help a lot folks that are yet to get their prepaid card..

1. Make sure that your billing address on paypal will be the same with the one you'll fill during the card application. If your PayPal address is not correct, you can edit it (i edited mine)
2. Request for the card from the customer service before he starts filling the details online. Once the card is with you, check the back of the envelope and see if what is written is INTERNATIONAL HIGH. if not, don't allow the personnel to continue with the process online.(i had same issue. I didn't check the back of the envelope and the guy ended up giving me LOCAL HIGH. So please ensure you collect the card envelope and check before he proceeds )
3. If the account (INTERNATIONAL HIGH) is successful, ensure you deposit at least #2000.

4. Once step 1-3 is correctly followed, you can now proceed with both the linking and confirmation.

Shout out to thorrvik55, OBI. I'm loyal sir.

After spending over 4hrs to transcribe a 7:17 mins collection house call, I was rated 1 because I had just 1 inverted speaker(customer as rep). A chance was given to redo it but after loading the transcript, I discovered my transcript was deleted. Mehn the thing off me. I tried doing a copy and paste but the thing was so disorganized ( font different and space everywhere) that the allotted time given to redo won't go anywhere. I just feel pained right now.
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by NEVOH: 3:49pm On Jul 31, 2019
I don't know why I always have inverted speaker. That's probably the only problem I noticed I do have. Despite carefully going back to review it over and over before submitting. Are this people really responsible? Because it's so tiring and annoying to finish a long call and maybe someone that reviews it is responsible. Or maybe it's from me? I don't know how.

We've said it here before. As a fresher, avoid "Funding Circle UK" and Collection House Calls.
How does one spend 4hrs on a 7 minute call? Maka why? undecided
How many jobs have you done so far?
How have other calls been?

I guess it was because of that company.
You're going to avoid it for now till you get the hang of it.
By the way, I don't know why you have that problem. Especially when you say you carefully reviewed it.
Try another call and see.

They are not responsible. They don't edit ur transcript after u submit... We've all being where u are right now. Back then we did not have the Re-do option but we still managed to cope.

@ the bolded, it's easier to blame someone else for ur mistakes than to man up and look to not make such mistake next time.

I have once been rated 1 after transcribing a 19min call because I mislabeled the last time stamp which was just "Bye". The customer told the rep " Bye" but I labelled it as "Rep" because to me it sounded that way.

I spent several hours on that work and at the end I didn't earn a dime from it because of a simple "Bye" that I did not label correctly.
There was no redo option back then, so I had no other option.

Today, u have a second chance at correcting ur mistake but still yet u tell urself that they are the one's editing ur transcript after u submit..

To u and all those other people on this thread that believe the platform is rigged against Africans: You will continue to get back to back 1's and 2's till u sit down and work on ur mistakes, that's the harsh truth... If u can't do that then qaworld is not for u.

Arlen no try sha... I normally applaud how she handles situations most times, but this time she no try at all.


"
Definitely. Life is wonderful (and easier) when we make our brains do some flexing.

There was absolutely no need for that statement. That is a direct insult. The conversation was all good until she made that statement...
