Early this morning, i learned that the $1 task I submitted days ago was accepted so I am finally eligible for the payment next month. But tonight when I saw the $20 dollar task, I gathered all the courage I needed and too the chance. I was so nervous about accepting it but after less than an hour I got approved!!! I know a lot of people might think I am crazy for accepting it but somehow what has happened really give a smile to my face.. I cleared my cache and changed my password right away just in case they might help save me from being scammed. I am really scared that something might happen in the future because of that task but I am really very excited about my MyLot payment for next one.. Though the task is really tempting, I think that would be the last time I am gonna fall for tasks like that..My nervousness is killing me right now.. how many of you tried that task as well??? Are you regretting it?

Thanks jennlk84!
That task is the controversial double-your-money-by-donating task. basically you'll have to donate 10 dollar and 20 dollar will be given to you. last week it was only a 10 dollar for a 5dollar donation but I think the task creator went crazy and even doubled it some more. It sounded fishy and I was really very hessitant yet I got very tempted so I accepted it. I cleared my cache and changed my paypal password just in case they are gonna still my password..I really hope nothing bad happens to me..

I did not see the $20 task, but probably would not have tried it, unless it really interested me. I am a bit bummed as my last task was not approved, and I cannot figure out why. It was one of the Sharon Bucks tasks and I usually do quite well with them. I have quite a backlog of free lance to do that is not related to MyLot, so I do not worry too much about tasks. I like to do them on occasion if I am not reaching payout here, just because I like to reach payout here every month.

good for you that you have other stuff to do besides mylot..though i did the task, i really dont recommend it. it's just too fishy and too risky.. i think i just lost my mind that time..maybe sharonbucks is still reviewing your submission..as for me, I have been wanting to bag one of those sharonbucks task but they require so much effort..i dont know most topics so they require much research..english is also not my first language so im afraid i might just get rejected.. :(

Congratulations friend. I am not a task earner here. I have attempted one task once. It was a paragraph writing and it got rejected. As my first task had been gone rejected i lost my confidence to do tasks and i gave up that opportunity.

Hi calai618! Congratulations!
How long did it take before you got that $20 reward. Is it credited directly to you paypal account or mylot account? What else did the task creator ask from you? Who is that creator anyway? Did you remember? I am really curious...

Wow that is great! Is the creator's name endtransmittion? I saw he posted that same task worth $5 reward $10...
What do you mean by "it wasn't there anymore"? As I understand whenever we do tasks, they were all listed in our completed task... Did that task appeared to your task submitted list?

Okay calai618... after sending you several private messages and contacted the task creator regarding this issue, he finally responded and said that he will refund my papal donation. He said he checked the logs and did not see that the task was accepted and completed. I don't know what happened. But we are very sure that it was completed and submitted... Anyway, we are just waiting for paypal refund. Hopefully, it wont take long. Thanks for responding to my pms!

Wow! Congratulations! I didn't see that task but if I did I will be skeptical to accept it. I'm not a task doer, to be honest I hate doing task because I feel stressed when I'm doing it. I had done few tasks whih are the easy ones and its only for just a few cents reward. I most likely just want to answer discussions than doing task.
I'm not able to reach payout this month and it has been 3 consecutive months that I'm not reaching it, its cool, I hardly get time to log in everyday.

Wow! That is some excellent money you earned. I hope that nothing bad happens, but if something does go wrong, then I'm sure you can report them or something.
I've never done one of those tasks like that, because I think that it is a little risky, but I guess if you get the money it's okay. I only do the "sign up for website" kind of tasks, and make a little money from those.
I never gotten so much money that quickly on mylot, but it sounds nice

yes it feels so nice that i earned a lot immediately but i still cant help thinking why the task creator wanted people to donate money for him then pay those people double the money they donated..but im reall glad i have the money on my earnings list already..im so excited to receive everything on the next payout.. :)

i also did some of those 5 and 10 cent tasks before but that particular 20dollar task really lured me..i dont have the time to do those sharonbucks which pay 4dollars because of all the research so i just grab the opportunity for the 20dollar task because it was very easy..i just dont know if i actually risked my life by doing so..i hope my login or personal details wont be stolen..

Congratulations! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that another $20 task will pop up soon because I'm currently aiming for my first payment.

a 90+ dollar task was up a while ago but it's expired already. there is still the donate "5dollars and earn 10dollars" task which i took twice today and got paid..i know i promised that i wont take the risk again but it was too irresistible..i am very glad i got paid..heehheee :D

it required us to donate 10dollar to his paypal account and then I got paid 20 after a few minutes on my mylot earnings. i was scared that it might be a phishing site so i checked but it was the legit paypal site. i was afraid my login details would be stolen so i changed everything immediately..i really didnt undertand why he needed people to donate and then pay those people double that amount..he also mentioned that the task can be done as many times as you want..it was kind of fishy but I still did it, i dont know what i was thinking..im just so glad that i really got the promised payment..

you were lucky calai.as curiosity kills the cat so i would keep myself away from tat.may he is just trying to attract ppl intially so tat they believe tat he pays for real nd after some time he stops paying nd elope with the money nd he has also increased the amt to be donated from $5 to $10.smells really fishy.have a nice day.

that was the same worry i had..but i heard a lot of people also accepted the same task and got paid..they also said that before a task is approved from the creator, he/she needs to deposit money to mylot so that kind of gave me the boost..im really glad that i got paid but i think i wont ever gonna take the same risk hehehe..thanks sunnycool!!!

hello calai618,
wow! congratulations for both of your tasks were accepted and successful. good for you. you truly deserve it.
i have tried doing the task a couple of times but i have no luck at all. i guess i need to do it better next time. i don't regret for doing it even i failed. at least i tried. i guess there is no harm in trying.

congrats! I have never done any tasks since I have been here, as I just baxically respond to discussions, as I am making my money that way, and it is taking effort on my part, but I have been able to do it and I am so happy about that as I am accomplishing my goal every month. I think one reason I don't tasks, is that I don't want to do one, and not get paid for it, or get rejected after doing it. I don't take rejection to well, so it is better not to even start. I feel that as long as I can earn doing what I am doing, I will just continue to keep doing it. I am enjoying being here a lot and I have never ever regretted my decision to join mylot. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

i know what you mean rosekiss!!! i also hate rejection so i rarely do tasks involving reviews and writing-related. it just takes too much effort from research and writing and you'll never be sure if you'll ever get accepted..so when i learned about this double-your-money task by donating through paypal, i took a chance on it and im glad i got paid for real..but i think that was my last time :D

Congratulations on reaching your payout! Hope you are doing well with the tasks. I get a little nervous too about accepting tasks with high pay. I am sure they will be difficult. But sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for it. I have never opted to go for the higher paying tasks, but you have to go with your heart. If you are up to the challenge, do it and don't look back.
