Dear money makers, Have you noticed a $10 dollar task yesterday? It seemed suspicious but anyhow I got that today morning... All in that is just to donate $5 in a site through paypal donate button and donated my $5 and the task owner told that it will be paid instantly or within 12 hours.. So, I have donated and slept yesterday and today morning, to my surprise,... OMG.... I am already on my way to get my payout next month....It was paid Do you guys check tasks everyday?... Have you tried it?.... After a long time yesterday I checked it and got paid..... I am really happy... Cheers.... Have a nice day always...

Phillip there is something fishy about that task It has been removed many times by myLot and the user had been banned and recreates a new account each time. I have not done it and fear for my Paypal account if I do. I cannot understand why anyone would give youback more than they earn for doing something

Mysdianait gives very good idea on this fishy tasks. When I read this discussion, I am too wondering why this kind of suspicious tasks can get approve from Mylot! And Philip you are good to share this to other members so they will be more caution. If you did the tasks and get the $10, it will probably makes others want to follow you and join the tasks too.

I agree with mysdianait,that user have created a lot of duplicate account and it has been ban many time.I know his original account because i have take a task from him before.Now,i guess he can't approve me anymore since he has been ban which mean he get his task done without paying.So i think his task is too fishy too try

Congratulations to you that you have got $10 in your mylot account.But yes everybody is true who have responded to your discussion that there could be something fishy about the task.The person who posted the task might use your paypal information for malicious means. Beware for the future.

I once saw tasks of that same nature and I totally stopped doing them after seeing the risk of my password being stolen and the possibility of them accessing and manipulating my paypal account at anytime. Also I don't understand the reason why I have to donate before getting paid. It sounds fishy. Yes, they may pay at first but I believe that later as they've hooked lots of users already they will soon turn into scam so I would rather stay away from that kind of task. Sharon Bucks do pay good money too and she is not asking any donation so I'd rather just do Sharon's task.

Oh yes Sharon's tasks do need lots of research so as for me I only accept those I am well informed about so that I can be sure that my submission will not be rejected. If the topic is not within my knowledge I junk them immediately to avoid wasting time. Well, I'm glad you were paid by that very short task and I hope I am wrong that that kind of task will turn to scam sooner or later.

Dear salonga, What you have said is really true. But the task I mentioned doesn't even take a minute but I accept tasks like this are fishy. Everyone cannot go for sharonbucks, 'cause we need to do a lot of research and don't know whether it will be accepted or not for our hard work.. Any way, thanks for replying... Cheers... Have a nice day....

hi philip^^;; i have read discussions similar to yours and mysD always reported those tasks to the admin and said we should do the same. any task that asks for a donation is something illegal and suspicious. the task creator must have all your paypal information like what mysD said so maybe u have to change your password now. It's good that you're paid but be careful my friend

Dear Robert, I am very poor in my typing skills when coming to responses and comments here. So, I was worried about my payment this month. I set a goal to be paid every month here when I joined here. But luckily this month I got it more than that... I am happy now.. I wish you too a success every month here in myLot.. Cheers... Have a nice day...

I don't know about this task. But I think, I won't doing the ask, seems like ponzi. Where he get the money if we donate $5 and will receive $10. That's very risk program.

I feel pretty much like a lot of others here. I am not too keen in sharing my PayPal details. If I were you I would change my password. It is probably not a scam and it will be fine but sadly one cannot be too careful on the internet. I had an account hacked not too long ago because I didn’t change my password often enough; there‘s some nasty pieces of work out there!

yeah I did see the $10 task but I'm not too sure about the entire donation thing, so I usually only do the signup tasks and something from SharonBucks, although it's too hard for someone who's not a native speaker. I only got accepted once from Sharon :\

No, I did not notice a $10 task yesterday. But I would not have done the task if I had to donate $5 through paypal because I would have been afraid my account my be put in jeopardy and I would also lose the $5.

I did not see that $10 worth task yesterday. I remember visiting the task page yesterday, but did not notice it. However, even if I did see it, I am not sure if I am going to do the task. It looks weird... No other explanation why he will give you instant 50% interest? That sounds really fishy... It's good that you got paid. Oh I got curious about that task, I checked it just now, but it is not there anymore.

I did see that task and read it through. Any time something just doesn't add up or I can't figure out an honest way that the poster will earn money, I run the other way. If someone offers good money for a task and you know that there will be some reward for them that will be greater than the amount they are giving to you, then the task is probably honest. When I saw that task, I just said to myself, "there's something FISHY about that task". Then I just moved on to something else. Always be careful if something either doesn't look right or feel right. Good luck to you!

I don't actually understand what would be the point of a task where you donate five dollars to get ten dollars in return. Therefore, because I am not a risk taker, there is no way that I would try that kind of task. The only task that I've ever done before is one where I had to sign up for something and it was for ten cents. I've been tempted to give Sharon Bucks tasks a try from time to time but then I hear of all the people that have the tasks rejected and I really wonder if it is worth my time to risk getting nothing.

Congratulation on getting the reward.i think i know that donation task owner,he has multiple account and his previous account has been ban.I have take a task from his original account which i believe he cannot approve me anymore since he has been banned.I think we have to be careful of task that require us to donate.It is risky and you may not get your money back.We have to be careful
