I think there must be some scammers too. and some time they ask you to give you some dollars with no work and in my view you cant get even a single penny with no work so i dont think it is very hard to use the mind and get them easily who is genuine and who is not.

If you are referring to the mylot alert you have just received upon logging in, then it refers to the task that asked for donation of $5 to earn $10 in exchange. It has been widely talked about in the discussions that therefore prompted the admin to take action. They are calling on the members to be more inquisitive before falling bait to the old tactics of these scammers.

Yes, everybody in mylot has received this message and been notified about the alert! When mylot mentioned scammers on the website, what they meant was look out as there are scammers when you try and go do some tasks. Even though I haven't seen any, apparently there have been tasks where they ask you to pay them money, and after that they will pay you back double or something. Remember that this is a huge scam! None of them will pay you back, let alone pay you back double!
Always be careful when doing tasks. Try to tasks with a member that has created the task has a good reputation. Alot of people that complete the tasks never receive the money, as the person that made the task always leaves it in pending mode, so there job has been done, but the member who did there job for them has not been paid, which is so unfair! I usually only do tasks with people that have 200 or more posts, as then they are a active to mylot and wouldn't risk there account getting deleted.
So all you really have to do is be careful of scammers! A really simple way to do this is just to make sure you never give out any personal information which could include your home phone, full name, address, etc. Basically, giving out any information that lets that person somehow contact you, is not safe, as they can enter your accounts and steal money or do whatever they want to. Remember they are not only scammers, but are hackers!

That is right "ruiz_richard22", nowadays SCAM are just anywhere as long as there is money talks. This is not new to everybody especially if you are aspiring to earn extra cash online. Even here in MyLot there is, they used MyLot as their tools to SCAM people. This is happen especially in the "tasks" corner some people says that it is legit because they have paid in the first cashout but the unlucky members didn't that is why this become an issue.
