Have you made payment through paypal to any member for earnings?

Hi Deepak, I have seen your discussion in gmail then only I signed in mylot and seen the alert. I haven’t received any kinds of request or I haven’t gone through any kind of tasks yet. Have you received any kind of task?

Hi Deepak. That has all the earmarks of a scam. No one should have to "pay" to do work for another, so that would send out instant warning flags! We live in a world where we must be extremely cautious not to be scammed. Thank you for bringing this up. Karen

You would think someone who works with MyLot would read these "task" before posting them here. I'm sure if they did it would not have been in their task section. These kind of scams start up just before every holiday and there are some who are willing to believe them. These scammers get a lot of money from people who do not know how to check out the offers. I used to do money trades and I lost thousands to one guy who immediately did a cash back at Paypal. He did this to over 15 people before Paypal caught on to his trick. The Internet is full of thieves just waiting to take your money anyway they can. We have all become skeptical of any offer whether it cost or not.

hi dpk yes I read that alert too and was shocked that mylot had not tested these people for scams before,I was very lery of any task asking you to give them money.no I am not givning money to someone so I can make some money. that is really 'nuts.as mylot admins said if the task is too good to be true then it is not true,so do not walk, but run from this. It is a scam.

I lurk at the tasks section an I have seen a lot of those "double-your-money" tasks. i have to admit I accepted 3 of them. Yes I know it was kinda fishy but the promise wa just too good to be true. the first time was donate $10 to make $20 and I accepted the task knowing that I would never ever fall for it again. luckily i got paid. the next were $5 for $10 and luckily I was paid immediately. I dont really know what the creator of the task is up to (and I dont know what I was thinking either) but hopefully that would be the last time I am accepting the task. I also heard there are some mylotters wo never received their payment so it makes me think why i received mine. i tried canging passwords and clearing the cache just so i can make sure they wont be sniffed. i am also thinking now of changing my paypal email address. Now, i dont really know if i will consider myself lucky that i got paid after all the transactions i made..but hopefully i wasnt scammed or will not be scammed in any way. i'll just try my best to stay away from this type of task from now on..I've promised that before but I will really try to live with it from now on..

yes i made payment trhough alertpay is the same thing such a paypal, i was asking about 35$ such a gift to someone for 5 day challenge after 5 days i have to send much more and about this i'm worried. is true.. i've receivet my money back in just 3 days, is still 2 day where may be i will make some money extra but still i'm worried to send much more. if is anybody who know about these please give us yours comments

Good that the admin send out alert to us so we are more aware of what is happening here. As in the real world, conman are everywhere and it only takes a weak person to fall prey to their tricks. I am quite weak in the sense I believe people easily but I am trying to be more careful when money is concern and I will not transfer my hard earned money in my paypal to undeserving people who are not only unknown to me but no reason for me to pay them.

I heard about these tasks last week because one of my friends did one and got paid which was very well but I would not feel comfortable doing such a task. Why would someone pay you to put money in your PayPal? Could they want your PayPal details? I don’t see any valid reason for anyone requesting you to put pay $5 and then receive $10 back the stipulation being that you use PayPal. Sound fishy to me... I think we should heed MyLot's warning...

Not me Deepak. I have not run across these tasks but I did get that alert. I don't think I would have participated even if I have though. It can be a shame for some because we trust this site and it's tasks. I would think it was a scam had I run across it.

well I never got that alert... the rule online is NEVER give anybody any money no matter who they are or what they are... the only money you use is when you are shopping online and thats it.. never at any point give any money to any mylotter asking you...

Yes, I have seen those tasks and they looked fishy to me. Why would the task creator asking for $5 and give back $10, right?! It doesn't make sense at all. If he is so 'generous', why not just offer $5 to everybody?? I have encountered a discussion from one Lotter about it. So, I responded that a donation is not a task. A donation means something that we give with sincere hearts and never expected anything in return. Anyway, I hope the admin will double their screening procedures before publishing any task, and to all fellow Lotters, be very careful not to disclose any personal information or log in your Paypal ID from other page. To be safe, change your passwords just in case.

Hi dpk...is that deepak..? No, i never faced it and if i come accrose such thign i will never lend money to...earnig them is the most difficut part and i cant lend it so easly..and become a fool... Take Care

Hi deepak, I read thru the entire discussion. I wish mysdianait would also come and offer her comments. :) But my stand on it, somebody has to experiment with it in small way, and thereafter let others know whether or not this is a scam. I am sure mylot admin cannot really do that. I dont do tasks other than those that I am sure about like Sharon's. So I am not gullible per se. But yes, I did invest $5 this morning. And all u folks out there, who ever is interested in knowing how this goes, keep checking this discussion. :)

This scam is not just targeted here on MyLot. There has been an influx of such scams going on for a while now on different Social Sites. One way that this is being done is that the scammer is posing as a "friend" , actually someone you may know or be corresponding with. You will receive a message stating that "Your Friend" (Will give a name)has been robbed or has lost their wallet/purse or whatever, is stuck somewhere and wants you to assist them in getting back home promising to pay you back. They will have a PayPal account set up just for this. Just beware, as the person sending you the request may not be whom they seem to be. To Your Success, Charles

Hi Deepak, I did see an alert when I logged in, but I was quite busy at that time and did not open it. However, now that I am here once again, I don’t see that alert any more. Well, even if I had seen it, I would not have transferred my money to anybody…I think mylot’s correct in saying that it’s a scam.

Any task asking for money from us is not genuine in my opinion. How can we believe them? Better to avoid such tasks. I think mylot can also avoid such tasks.

I did not share any of my money but i was saw one task in mylot he askes 5$ after you sending 5$ he will pay 10$ via paypal,but users should think logically and avoid this scam tasks.No one pay 10$ for 5$.

So far, as of this moment, I haven't experienced being scammed with tasks. First, I have no time to do such tasks as I am a lot busy with work and only doing posting when I am on mylot. I also haven't tried creating a task on here and I have no plan of doing it.

Hi Dpk, I am not much active on Tasks, so I have not come across any such incident. It is unfortunate that members go to any extent to earn more money. I would be extra careful if any such things comes to my notice. Regards

Hello dpk262006 this is checkmail and won't even do that stuff in my dreams, sending hard earned paypal money to some scammers.Am not that much crazy or greedy person.Well apart from that I have never ever used paypal to make any purchases at any sites, like an newbie in paypal transaction.Still building up a nice paypal balance for withdrawal.
