Are they. Not only one. To most of myLotters. Why are you posting fake images about the site even you are haven't paid by them. Do you really got money from them. I have checked this in many discussions. Most of the myLotters are posting images by simple editings . Why are you doing these. Only to get referrals to you. But you are cheating others and helping the scam sites. Please don't post any fake images about payments even they you haven't got any money from that site. Please.
You can check the example in the image. Thank you.[b]
Please be genuine in getting referrals. Don't promote scam sites.[/b]
To my fellow myLotters, Please don't believe those images. We can edit it simply with out any technique/skill.

TO RAGHUL & ADIHINDU,
Thank you for YOUR valuable time! I THINK I understand better now...maybe. LOL!
Well, the more I hear of stuff like this, the more glad I am that I come to MyLot largely to have fun, not to make money. Of course, every little scrap HELPS.
I just wish MyLot ACTUALLY COUNTED all our posts! Clearly they DON'T. I mean, just look at the numbers by the posts--they can stay the same post after post--even through the next DAY!
What's UP with that?? I KNOW I've posted more than 500 times, yet it only shows just under 400 or so!
]
Oh well, I'm having FUN, anyhow! LOL!
Thanks again.

See? SEE?!? LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF THESE LAST 3 POSTS (counting this one). This is EXACTLY what I've been talking about! (I KNOW, I realize this is off topic, but RIGHT HERE is where I have the perfect example to prove my point about MyLot's stupidity about copying & pasting)
The number for my above post is "381" (& no doubt THIS post will ALSO be "381"), & LAST NIGHT'S post is ALSO 381!
MyLot is =LYING= about counting the 1st 500 posts straight through! This only matters to me because they won't let me copy & paste untilI reach their magic "500" number--which means it takes me a LOT longer to post! Unless I'm directly replyhing to a prime post (& not an ANSWER to that post), I CAN'T SEE THE POST TO WHICH I'M REPLYING, soooo...this means I have to copy the letter I NEED to answer & post it in my EMAIL program in order to SEE it, & not get details wrong, or forget to answer some nuance. THEN I must switch back & forth between the two programs to write!
MAN I wish _I_ could run MyLot; I could hardly do a WORSE job of organizing things!
Grrr...!

What's the name of the site that you are talking about who posted that so called payment receipts or proofs?
I have been paid by some sites but I don't really use it to attract people to sign up under me. I have made and have invited a lot of referrals without it.
We have our different stories and experience and we should learn from one another.

I'm so puzzled by this. Why would anyone just taking a picture of a check "prove" they'd been paid anything?? Why would anyone ACCEPT that as proof? And how does anyone benefit?
I don't have anyone who's come in under me, so I'm the sole payee here for MyLot, so no-one needs to fear ME scamming them, I guess...or is that the sort of thing y'all are talking about?
I guess I'm clueless in how this "scam" is necessary or how it works. But then, I just got scammed HUGELY through a SNAIL-mail trick, & I thought I knew all there was to KNOW about those kinds of scams. So I'M certainly no judge of how to understand THIS!
Oh, well. Cest la vie....

I had received a image from fellow mylotter that they got paid from two sites and they are inviting me to join under them. When I checked the sites, they will delete the account if we request a payout. And another one will pay in 45 non business days. Eurovisits.org, if we request a payout then they will delete our account. wepaybux.com, they will pay in 45 non business days. When I notified the same to that member, he denied to accept. But the same conditions are mentioned in their TOS. Happy to have your response.

I did not know that people are promoting scam . This thing is new to me. Infact, I have not done it and I would like to know how to post images of websites in the mylot profile page. Let me tell you that you need to browse for the details about a particular site before you join. Else, you will be wasting your time.

They are lots of people who would like to scam others. Me, I don’t easily believed even they showed me proof of payment as it is easily be edited. There’s lots of new money making sites everyday and it’s hard to know if they are scam r not. For me I stick to my old sites that always paid me in time.

I can't say I have ever come across this, can you post some evidence? Show us some examples?
If we don't use screenshots as proof what else can we do? This is just another aid in helping you decide if a site is a scam or not - surely if you see mulitple members posting picture proof its unlikely they are all faked.
Ravisri - Your multiple posts are very boring and are adding nothing to this conversation!

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if the sites do not pay, then why would someone go to the trouble of creating these fake payouts to try to get referrals? If the sites aren't paying them then what good are the referrals??

here, here - ThirdMillion well said. My thought exactly.
I will still make my own decision. I generally research a site for a couple of days before I make a decision and I did this recently with Megalido and I saw hundreds of proofs of payments- If i were to go by this discussion I would assume all those hundreds of people are scamming me. Oh well - i invested anyway and will be laughing all the way to the bank!

That was a good question. Most of the members need to get a minimum of 5 or 10 dollars to get pay. So it may take 100 days to reach the pay, if the site had ten adds. Who will wait 100 days. So they are getting referrals to reach first payout only. Then after some days on reaching the payout, then they will know that they won't pay. For understanding this, they have to wait two months. Finally, they work for the sites for five months. After that, they will know that the site won't pay.
When it comes to affiliates, moderators and administrators of those sites, they are also the members of myLot. So they definitely post the message on payment proof. So don't believe all the myLotters as some may fake. Thank you for your response and a good question. Have a nice day.

Wow! people do that? Thanks for the eye-opening post. I will never trust any payment proof from now and on. It's funny we keep compaining that sites cheat us but it ends up being that we cheat ourselves too!

I don't want to say never trust any images. But we have to careful and should not take any decisions only depending on the payout proof. I know most of us will ask payout proof. I want to say it was very easy to get that fake proofs. So please cross check before joining any site. Thank you for your response.

It is good you highlight that there are members who post fake images or images belonging to others in their ruse to get members to sign up under them, because you have been deceived by them before. Such experiences should be shared so others can benefit from them. Technically, touching up an image is not a difficult thing with the right tools. This act is unethical, and like you, I would want to tell these people to do the honest thing and not resort to such unscrupulous tactics.
Having said that, I also feel that it is not right for you in your post to insinuate that most myLotters are posting fake images to deceive people, and that people should not believe any payout images shown. There are many people who do get payouts from legitimate sites, and for them, posting them here to promote these sites demonstrate to others the legitimacy of the opportunities they are involved in. It gives credence to them promoting the opportunities they are in. You may be doing an injustice to those honest folks here by your insinuation, and telling people not to believe any such images.
Also like ThirdMillion said, if sites don't actually pay, why would people want to promote them by showing false payout images? There's nothing for them to gain by this, unless these people promoting do not know these sites are scams. Makes sense?

I know you mean well trying to warn people about such unethical practices, but you also have to exercise care with your choice of words. You can't tell the whole myLot community not to believe anyone who posts their proof of payment, saying that they are all fake. You may be right in some cases you know, but you cannot generalize. You can't tar everyone with the same brush, because those who participate in legitimate sites and have real payment proofs to show will get hurt.
Like you, I am aware that there are those who will promote the opportunities they are involved in even though there are no real proofs that these sites pay. Some people do this out of ignorance, while others deliberately try and get referrals even though the sites are illegitimate. Sometimes, site administrators and owners are probably the instigators of all these. They can be planting bogus users in forums to act as their cheerleaders, to garner support or to act as users of their programmes and saying all kinds of good things about them, giving people the false impression that a programme is honest or that it pays. I know in some cases, administrators also fake the payout information on their sites.
Deception can come in many forms, and it is for people to do their research and due diligence in checking out a site properly before signing up. They may see payment proofs shown by others (like in myLot here), but if they want to be sure these are not fabricated, they can check out multiple sources of information on the internet about the sites concerned before they make their decision about signing up. Some people go along with this principle that if many people say the same thing about something (whether good or bad), then that must be the truth.

So fellow myLotter's are posting images of payouts that they have received from another site? Which they really have not??? This is sad.. I hope that they don't get into trouble with myLot. They should only post images of real payouts that actually paid them, not fake ones.. They know better than this..

How come myLot will know that they received funds from those sites. It was not possible and there is no such obligation in terms of myLot regarding the same. You should not post vulgar and copy-righted images. Other than that, we can post any image. Thanks for sharing your view. Have a nice time.

Are they really scams? Don't they get discovered and then no one will read their discussions? I hope that is what happens. I would take them off my friends list and just boycott them if I knew. I feel i don't get paid because I some how just can't work the system correctly.

this post is very efficient of all the topics i've opened yet. i am new to this internet money making deal and thus i know little of scam sites and scam users. now that you mentioned it, it is noteworthy to say the least that scam sites and scam users are lurking the internet so TRUSTING them in the first place is not that GOOD.
the only problem is finding proofs of the sites' authenticity--since anyone can edit proofs of payment, we are left clueless as to what site actually pays.

Thanks for your response. If some has mentioned the transaction ID, then we will cross check the same. But this violates the payment processors TOS. So we had only one option to cross check it with fellow mylotters. And by reading their TOS. Most instant pay sites are genuine. But be careful for non instant payout sites.

It was the reputation for you on mylot. You will get one when you completed 100 responses. The number after you is the total responses that you posted. Comments won't count under this. Have a nice time in myLot. Don't post any irrelevant information to the discussion. This may show bad reputation to you. Keep on posting the comments to responses and starting new discussions. Then you will get a high star rank 10. Happy myLotting.

We all have to be on our guard. I always check out a site thoroughly before joining it. I don't rely on images to base my decisions on. I agree that images can be misleading.

That acutally alredy came into my mind the first time i saw people posting their proofs of payment to gain more referrals. I mean how could i know if those posted payment proofs are real and was not tampered on. I think its just really easy to edit a proof of payment that even a newbie could do so. I dont belive people who post proofs of payment to get referrals because i always do a double check on the site on some forums and hear about other people who have really been paid by the site. A lots of people would actually know if a site really doesn't pay. :)

i wish people wouldnt try to get any one till they know that it pays.. i used to try to get a lot of referrals with the places i was with but i honestly thought they were all legit since my "friends" told me they had gotten paid so i signed up and signed up my friends and we all worked hard and poof they disappeared and made a fool out of me!! so i dont tell anyone about anything unless i personally have been paid. i wish people did the same

I never tried to get any referral. I only participate in the discussions of myLotters, specially my friends.I take lotting as a a game and fun.The earnings
from this is my extra gain.So I'm in safe side. There is no chance to be cheated.
Thanks for your advice and caution.

Hi bhanusb,
Just as adihindu said, a lot of myLotters are looking at means of earning extra income so the earnings from lotting is not what they're referring to. We need real and genuine online businesses such as www.holidaysandcash.com/onlinebiz. The website tells you all you need to know about this wonderful opportnity and no one tries to scam or show images of checks as proof of earnings. Please all you mylotters should try and check out the above website and you can post any questions that you may have on myLot.
