That is weird, hvert. They'd probably pay 10 cents per call taken.

Wow, another thing I have been noticing. I have signed up for some sites to get freelance work. Some seem okay, others are pretty terrible. There is this one site, Freelancer.com, with many freelance positions listed where the employer’s suggested wage is US$2-4 dollars, for things like an administrative assistant. A lot of them posting the job were companies based in the US, while those who were bidding for work were from places like Bangladesh, India or Kenya and they were bidding at those rates. I guess US$3 is probably better than a dollar an hour or less working in a factory there. Still, to me it seems like exploitation of people who are desperate and a way to get out of paying minimum wage. More research on that company also showed a lot of complaints about freelancers not getting paid for their work. Good thing I never accepted a job from there.
Thanks for this!
