After working on multiple projects like I*y, R*******e, P********r, and completing the onboarding for project D****o, I randomly got hit with the "We're reviewing your account. No action is needed from you right now. We'll reach out by email once your review is complete" notification.

I emailed support the exact same day the review notice popped up, and one hour later, I received the exact same generic copy-paste response everyone gets:
"Thank you for reaching out, and we appreciate the work you’ve completed with us so far.

Following a routine review, we’ve decided to discontinue your participation on our platform. While we’re unable to share specific details from the review, this decision is final and cannot be reconsidered.

However, you will retain access to the information on your Handshake AI dashboard, and all eligible work you’ve already completed will be paid out in full according to our standard payment process.

Thank you again for your time and contributions. We wish you the best going forward.

Best"

Zero reasoning provided, zero opportunity to appeal. I haven't violated a single term or condition, and I've fully complied with all my documentation. On top of that, I am a student at one of the Bay Area colleges that Handshake actively partners with as a job board platform. Living right here in Bay Area, I'm honestly tempted to go straight to their local offices to demand a real explanation.

Getting this kind of treatment speaks volumes about how unprofessional, unreliable, and irresponsible Handshake AI really is. To anyone thinking about joining: don't waste your time. At this point, I'm so frustrated.

UPDATE: A Handshake moderator asked for my email to follow up, and I also reached out to the leader of one of my Handshake projects, who helped me out as well. I have access again now; fortunately, I didn't have to go to their local offices.

Guyz be real, bots/paid users please dont reply.
Anyone really got paid from handshake?

That's all. If you know, you know.

They are not going to pay you anyway. You’ll just waste 30–40 hours doing a lot of mentally exhausting work, only to end up with zero payment. Honestly, if you worked at a shop for that amount of time, they would at least be happy to pay you 4$. But here, there isn’t even a basic payment.

No matter how carefully you write your prompt, even if there is no error in it initially, they will somehow find an issue and try to prove that your prompt is ambiguous. However, I once edited the exact same prompt by adding just a “.” after writing the golden answer. At that point, the prompt suddenly received the correct answer, there was no ambiguity, and the model gave the correct response—because it had already seen the golden answer.

This project is a huge scam. Let me know if anyone has actually received payment from it.

I have just been invited to project HH and I am a resident in Canada, I accepted the invite but while reading the terms of the project, it's written "All work must be done inside US or in its territories." . I am not sure why I was invited to this project, will I be able to work in this project or should I decline? Thanks

hey guys just saw that handshake lets u refer ppl to specific roles now (at least from what i can see on my referral dashboard). I havent gotten invited to a project for months now. if someone could plsss help out w this, please do!! thanks

Hey guys can anyone give any google form to get invitation for any project in handshake ai. S*** India has been paused and d**** and p**** are hectic so anybody can give any google form for any other project in India ?

Hello, I see there has been a mass wave of people getting off boarded. My situation coincides with background checkr. I was onboarded on two projects that required checkr but I could not submit the second as it caused a duplicate ssn error.

I started getting automated emails saying my work on Project L would be paused if I didn’t complete. I was able to complete tasks as normal did not have any issues. Reached out to support and they said no negative action would be taken and to just ignore it. 2 days later im kicked off the project and the subsequent day my account is on hold. This is very disappointing and the kicker is after that “irregular activity” email I got ANOTHER CHECKR EMAIL TO VERIFY MY IDENTITY with a countdown starting that day. I still cannot submit until after the 23rd when I can add another profile or something. I reached out to checkr as well.

I just want my account reinstated. I did all the required things and worked very hard. They haven’t given me me any insight to the issue I get the same automated emails and the new checkr was initiated after I was “offboarded” but there’s no way to submit or talk to a human.

Any help is appreciated

Anyone have any experience using a static business IP?

The site has been saying I was restricted for using a VPN/proxy (I haven't). When I'd connect via mobile data, the dashboard would load, but said the account was under review for irregular activity (no irregular activity occurred).
I emailed about the static IP issue, but never heard back.
Today they emailed I was deactivated for irregular activity.

Any suggestions? Odd company with some very disjointed onboarding and practices.

Hi I got message in linkedin about handshake ai is it legit because I saw post on reddit on how is it scamming when the subject is about payment, I live in india does it promote any scam and is the payment mode secure in india ??

When I started, I had a limit of 4 tasks per week. It stated that after completing 1 task with a minimum of 3 stars, I would get full access. However, after doing that, I only got access to 15 tasks per week. When will I get full access? My approval rate is 75% and I have a 4.7-star rating. Does anyone have full access? Can anyone help?

Did anyone else receive the formal warning? I’m wondering if it was sent to everyone.. I’m checking slack and others received it. I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary so not sure why I received it. I know they have sent messages like this to all workers in the past.

Has anyone else working with Handshake AI experienced issues with their payments recently?

My entire Payment tab has suddenly disappeared from my Handshake AI dashboard. I can no longer see my working hours, current earnings, pending payment, or payment information.

I have already contacted Handshake AI support at fellow-support@joinhandshake.com, but I haven't received any useful response or resolution.

I had completed paid work and was expecting payment, so I'm worried because I can no longer even verify the hours and earnings that were previously showing on my account.

Has anyone experienced the same issue recently? Did your Payment tab disappear temporarily and come back, or were you able to get your payment issue resolved?

If anyone knows another way to contact Handshake AI or escalate a payment issue, please let me know. Any advice would be appreciated.
