Why don’t you go ahead and take a seat right over there. It has been reported by several Amazon Flex groups that email’s regarding “automated methods” have increased. Many drivers have been deactivated. It looks like Amazon is finally taking serious action to stop the cheaters.
If you’re cheating now’s the time to stop.
Reports show that Amazon will send out one warning email. Telling drivers that they have been detected using third party apps or scripts. The next step is deactivation with no chance of an appeal. The cheaters have gotten away with it for a long time. Amazon isn’t messing around this time. Now is the time to stop.
The Refresh Button is Slower:
We have noticed and many drivers are reporting that the refresh button is slower. Meaning, Amazon has increased the cool-down timer. It has been speculated that this is a measure to “put everyone on the same playing field”. Our theory is that Amazon is taking steps to make bot detection easier.
Emails Incoming:
We predict that very soon a wave of emails are going to be hitting the inboxes of suspected cheaters. Those who have already been warned will likely get the boot. We highly recommend that if you’ve been naughty and are using third party apps or scripts to stop now.
Flex on. Be safe.
