This feels like getting Rick rolled

Today is slow so I've been taking most any survey that pops. A few times today when I've clicked on a survey, different researchers & different titles, it takes me to this. There's nothing to do on that page except enter zip code, I didn't. There's no consent page, it's a scam. But it was a VERY low pay so I can't even be mad, I just keep feeling like I'm about to hear "Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down"

Screened out after answering all the questions

I've only been doing prolific since January. This is the 1st time this has happened: I completed a survey including 4 screening questions at the start of it. I finish the survey about 10 mins or so later. I got a thank you for completing and a competition code. I enter the code in the correct place. An hour or so later I'm looking at my submissions, see that survey listed and notice it says screened out and I was paid $.15. The pay for completing was like $3 I think. I contact the researcher describing the issue and specific questions that were asked. All I get back is a blurb that I was screened out. It's not the $3 that bothers me or the time I spent answering. It's that at no time did it say I was screened out, I answered everything, passed attention checks and I got $.15 and they got all my answers plus they didn't pay out what was promised.

I'm just venting, I don't expect a resolution and I've blocked the researcher. It's just disappointing that Prolific let's them get away with that kind of trickery
