i think not because a site pays you..you don't consider it scam..do you believe so?
well apparently, more and more paid sites are coming our way..some are true some are scam..we say those who do not pay are scam..how bout those who pay but got been promote the sarcastic way?
like say this user will promote this paid site and will tell you lies saying it pays everyone and that it pays him like a hundred or more just to get referrals? now i think thats scam..yes it pays but it turns out to be a scam because a user lied just to get referrals...
what do you think about it? your opinions are appreciated..
have yourself a wonderful day..

Look for comments or user forums for the site-if something sounds too good to be true,it usually is-and don't part with any money! Scams get identified, and warnings get posted about them..just watch out and be careful!

A site becomes scam when it really cheats his user by not paying them. I had some worst experience with many of them.

i am starting to think different i used to think that if they do not pay u they are a scam but i am starting to see differently just from being on mylot... it has made me see that if it is a paid per post site it is most likely a scam... they are deleting almost everything i post so soon this will be gone too... it doesnt make any sense since i am not even close to pay out.

i'm sorry to hear your posts getting deleted here...but i am not referring to mylot when it comes to scam thing...mylot just pays me over a year and it has never scammed me..though i experience lots of my posts got deleted but there are reasons...how long have you been here my friend? have you looked at the guidlines and tried to read it? at first i got mad at mylot and left because it deletes my posts so soon as i just started doing it but i found out that i was indeed violating rules...its could be that some of your posts had violated their guidelines and you should be more extra careful..its fair enough my friend..when they pay me i don't complain and when they delete my posts and my earnings got down i complained so mucha nd realizze that it isn't fair with mylot...
have a great day my friend

i have been here for a little over a month and i have read the rules and guidelines many times it says not to post links that are not relevant to the discussion but when they are asking for other sites then almost everything is relevant as far as money making sites go. it just makes me angry that i take the time to respond and they get deleted for no reason this site definately feels like a waste of time to me.

If our posts get deleted there IS ALWAYS a reason for it. I have been through what you are going through and it took a while to figure it out. Re-read the guidelines and you will get there as to what you are doing wrong when your posts are deleted. Stick it out sunkistroses (lovely username) and you will find that as time goes by and by following the rules your posts will row, you will reach payout and yo will see for yourself that it is NOT a scam. Happy posting!

they become a scam whenever you dont get the service that they promise...like when they say that if you register you get a free site...but when you register you still have to pay some cash for the site's hosting then that's becomes a scam...they try to fool you and ask for your money...others will simply post that enable for you to have access you must donate a specific amount...donations is just voluntary...you cannot force a person to make a donation...anyways, just make sure that before you fall for the antics of these scam site...just search them on the internet...usually you would know if they're a scam if you see complains from forums..once you found 2 or 3 complain dont take the risk of giving away your money something that is not worth...

I think you're absolutely right that even supposedly "paying" sites can be scams too. In the example you mentioned, only a particular person or particular people will ever be paid by the site -- the rest of the people who sign up will be scammed, and the people who do the referring are helping to perpetuate the scam! Another common example of the same sort of thing is when a site pays its members to begin with, thus encouraging them to promote the site and talk about their success with others, only to cease paying members later on. This is a scam, too, though you could still make some money from it if you joined it early on. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any easy way to avoid the scams save only to join sites that have been around for years and have sterling reputations. It's hard to ignore the new programs that always sound so exciting to begin with, though.
