Title: Bigstock earnings
Post by: Schadenfreude on October 23, 2024, 07:18

Anyone else get this?

"Hi Shutterstock Artist,

You have earnings in your account! If this amount is not claimed ASAP, your unclaimed earnings are at risk of being transferred to the appropriate US tax authorities in the state of the home address we have on file."

All the links go to your Bigstock account, but I'm curious as to a) are they trying to get you zero your balance and b) what the heck does "your unclaimed earnings are at risk of being transferred to the appropriate US tax authorities" mean?

I received the same mail from Bigstock. I only have $26 earning waiting on my account and I thought I had to wait for a minimum of $30 to get paid.

I also received a similar mail for Shutterstock earning. All this is rather strange  :o

I received the same email. I think this is a scam email.

Got it too. Logged in my Bigstock account and claimed my earnings. The email sounded indeed strange (so strange that I thought it's better NOT to click any links, just to be sure), so if you have earnings on your account, it's better just claim them.
