I was searching the internet using the platform of MySearchfunds -- well, honestly, to make money first and foremost. But as it is, I received this notice from their Fraud Department -- which I suspected from the very start will really come. I hope others will not experience this. the email is below.

If they have some type of limitation on what you can search for or things that you can't look up then I guess they are in the right to send you that. If they are sending you a warning because they feel you are making too much (laughable at best) then it might be wise to cut your losses and try to find something else to make extra money.
Most sites have a paragraph or two about being able to cancel your account / membership at any time for any reason. Sometimes they do that to avoid paying people.

Well, I really dunno what to say. I joined that site recently and so far, I have made slightly more than a pound. I use it only to search something I really want. I hope they are legit. Thanks for this information, anyway!
Cheers and happy mylotting!

Umm.... Don't really know what to say. I think that you may have actually been fradulently searching. I make 20-30 searches a day, and been paid 2 times. The site is legit.
