Introduction
Over the years, Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) has been a great source of income for many users worldwide, including in India. However, due to various restrictions, Amazon has stopped accepting new MTurk workers from India for quite some time. This has led to a lot of confusion and scams, with people promising ways to bypass the restrictions in exchange for money. In this post, I’ll share the safest and most effective way to get a new MTurk account for Indian users in 2025.
Why You Should Be Cautious
I’ve seen many articles and blogs claiming to offer “guaranteed” ways to get an MTurk account by paying money or following dubious procedures. Please do not fall for such scams. These individuals only seek to exploit your trust and money. It's crucial to stay informed and avoid such deceptive practices.
A Safe Way to Get a New MTurk Account (for Those Who Want to Make Money, Not Pay Scammers)
Here’s a step-by-step method that can help you set up an MTurk account legally and safely:
Step 1: Find a Trusted Friend in the USA
Since MTurk is still available in the USA, you need a friend or relative living in the USA who can create the account for you. It’s important to ensure this person is someone you trust, as their personal details will be used to set up the account.
Step 2: Have Your Friend Create the MTurk Account
Ask your friend to create a new MTurk account using their personal details, including their ID proof (which is required for verification). Ensure that they use their address, bank account, and other details during registration.
Step 3: Work with the Account from India
Once the account is created, you can start working from India. You’ll be able to perform tasks, but the earnings will be in your friend’s name until you meet the withdrawal requirements.
Step 4: Submit Your Friend’s ID Proof for Enrollment
When your earnings reach a certain amount (for example, $4), you can submit your friend's ID proof to verify the account and enroll your earnings.
Step 5: Withdraw Earnings to Your Friend’s Account
You can only withdraw the money to your friend’s bank account (since the account was registered in their name). Once the money reaches your friend's account, ask them to transfer the funds to your Indian bank account.
Important Notes:
- This method allows you to legally use MTurk from India by having a friend in the USA set up the account.
- Always stay cautious and avoid any service that promises an MTurk account for a fee. They are likely scammers.
- This method is time-consuming but reliable, as long as you have a trustworthy friend in the USA.
While MTurk has stopped accepting new workers from India, it’s still possible to earn by following safe and legitimate methods. Always ensure you're dealing with trustworthy individuals and never fall for scams that promise easy solutions. In future posts, I’ll share tips to help you maximize your earnings on MTurk, so stay tuned!
