I happened to visit a blog via traffic exchange site ,In which the blogger has placed some payment proofs of The PTC sites.I got shocked on seeing one of the payment proof ,which is from a PTC site and also this site in pre launch and they have not started paying.Also they don't have the instant payment option also ,and their site itself they have mentioned about this as the payment option will be enabled soon after the official launch of the site.But this fellow clearly made the fake proof just to gain referral.I think we should not believe on the payment proof also. How to check the originality of the payment proofs?

That is what i am saying to my friends. If you have to join a certain site, better research it first. Read their TOS and FAQ and don't just depend on payment proofs showed by friends. Of course the idea is to earn from referrals right. It is still your decision if you want to join or not. But to those friends whom i turned down, i have nothing against you. I am not just at ease with the site you are giving me that is why i did not join. I also have the rights to decline such offer even if i don't know you well, i don't base it on that, I base it from what I research online so don't take it personal. About knowing the proof, well check if the copy is clear, check if it is really from Alertpay or Paypal site that they shared, not just typed on a spreadsheet or MS Word telling amounts earned, dates etc.etc.

@strawberry Also verifying those proofs are not much easy and just visual verification may not give a true result as now we are having lot of software and tools do do any thing. Now I feel, if we have some doubt about the payments, we need not go for the verification process and we can just neglect the site .Thanks for your response and the time you spent.

It is not easy to identificate them. It ons runs when members verificating your ratings or payment proofs they posts. Members with faked payment proofs would like to impress other user to join SCAM programs and earn commissions with this.

I was always sceptical of those people and or sites that post these so called proof of payment becuse in today's technology its really easy for people and sites to post fake or doctored payment proof documents online, and we all should be a bit more careful of who or what sites we trust becuse some people are so desperate for referrals that there willing to lie or post false promise to get them.

Even after knowing that their site is scam,most of the members tried to get referrals for those sites.By doing so, they are wasting the time of they both. But to get referrals, they are going to extreme level as we may not take that much of effort to get referrals for the scam sites.Thanks for your response.

Well. Whenever I post a payment proof, I don't hide my username or my name. If it is my email id, I'll hide it out. Even then I leave my name visible. So, I consider those proofs as fake if they hide the username / name. Besides considering them fake I consider them ridiculous proofs. The person may be the friend of the admin of that site. He might have made some other transactions and uses that transaction proof as payment proof. Well. I don't believe in payment proofs unless it is posted by some wise or reliable member.

First of all go here: mywot.com and install that tool, it will tell you other people's experience with the site your surfing. Second, just trust my site present in my profile. Third, do not, I mean, don't ever pay for anyone!

yes. We can find out every thing about the site at their forum if they have it and it seems we should never relay on the payment proofs of the members also.I am sure that he is wasting his time in most of the scam sites and also he is trying to spoil the time of the other members also in the form of referrals. Actually I thought of registering with one his sites and that's why I browsed all the proofs and found this as fake.Then I did not register with that site.Thanks for your response.

Hello, I will encourage you to call the bank, that is located on the check, to make sure the funds are available, bfore you be a victim of a scam. I have fell a victim of a scam online a few months ago, the check looked so real, and it even had the name at the bank that I bank with, but when I took the check to my bank to get it cashed, the check will not scan, right away me and teller new that it wasa scam, there are so many scams out here and you have to be very carefull online, and what you choose to do to make income, for this reason that is why I prefer to be paid via Pay Pal. Pay Pal protects protects the merchant and the customer. Happy My Lotting!

I, myself dont really trust all these sites that much. I do only if I try out and if I search and nothing worth then I just forget about it. Mostly, I dont really try something that I dont really know. I rather do more search on it and if it is ok then I will go back and do some more. Just mylot, at first I barely work here but when they pay me then I know they are not cheating or scam at all...

You can compare with it with any of your original payment proof.In case of fake payment proof.Alignment or font or designing will be little different.You have to notice it carefully.

After seeing your response ,I searched for that blog(as I failed to note down the URL of the blog at first) for a long time and I found that again after few hours. If we deeply watch that, then we can come to a conclusion that this is a fake proof. I don't like to post the URL of the blog here and he might be the active my lot user.So form this I have decided that we should not believe the members also.Thanks for your response.
