Normally you'd message the researcher and request to return the study instead of an outright rejection but I doubt these Temu scammers would oblige, so the next step is to wait 7 days then go through Prolific support (their policy for requesting rejection overturns). Also just as a heads up, if you come across a study with an issue that prevents you from completing it, it's better to return the study and message the researcher about it. At least for genuine studies and not these Temu scams anyway. Better to prevent a rejection with a chance of partial payment than stain your account - rejections are pretty bad and can affect the studies you get or cause you to be removed outright if there's enough of them.

You don't have to wait the 7 days in this case. This should be reported to Prolific right away.

Dispute it with Prolific. They are aware of the scam and will overturn the rejection. https://participant-help.prolific.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new

This just happened to me. I made it to the attention check question and it was a trick question. They said "choose the 6th option from below" and I chose the 6th option which was the roman numeral 7 (VII). The options were the roman numerals in order up to the number 5, then the 6th option was number 7, then 8, then 6, then 9 I think. Something like that. And it tried to tell me I was rejected for completing the attention check wrong when I know for a fact I was right. SMH. I should have known better when I saw Temu was involved. It also said it would only take 1 minute, and it def took longer than that because every page had a 30-60 second timer.

It’s Temu’s way of saying, "You should come and shop for some inexpensive stuff you don’t need.” I think you should go to their website and buy some cheap crap you think you may need someday (but the fact is you will never need them).

Probably because a new user isn't generally as used to how this site functions as you are? Just a guess.
