Is a gotcha!
I had been working with Thumtask for three years and as of September 2023 it has become a blatant scam. I recommend not using it because it is worse than casinos, drugs and alcohol, they take away everything you have.
I'll give you an example: For repairing a switch for a client, Thumtask charges you $69 dollars directly to your pockets, and before that was $6. In a single week in October they took 685 dollars from my credit card and I didn't even earn 200 that week
