I hope that I won't get scammed. I realize something must be wrong when the offer are too good to be true. I try to avoid Multi Level Marketing because I don't really understand how the upline can get so much from the bottomline. I hope they don't take their downliners money. I try mylot because many people that they can money somehow here and it is not a scam. Thank you to the administrator of mylot for making me believe that they are good peoples in internet marketing.

there are very few trusted sites, on which you can rely to earn online. I have a great faith on my ot and my lotters, but sometime task creators turn up very cheating. I had done a task for the task creator deonez, that asked me to donate 2 dollars to get paid 4 dollars. I paid 6 dollars in total to earn 12 dollars. Later discussions and my lotter's alert followed saying that my balance will be deducted since this task was a scam. I was sad thinking that my lot too turned up into a scam. I then requested paypal to settle the dispute and now I got my money refunded. Thanks mylot for guidence and thanks deonez for refunding my money.

Hi, there. before I sign up and join, i do some readings with regards to the site that i am interested, read some blogs, ask fellow mylot users and etc. Mylot users is a big help, their testimony is a big help. Well, of course i have to ask those users whom i trust and sincere. We can't avoid some are fooling around.

One thing that I kept in mind immediately after I started trying to make money online was that I couldn't invest in anything. The thing that I knew was that if I was not investing money in any way then there was no way that I was going to lose money. So, I've only been making an attempt to make money online for a few months though, and although I'm not making a ton of money I am making some progress in the right direction.

Whenever a site ask for money, think twice. That would probably a scam site. When a site promises you to earn way above the normal, that too would probably a scam. Another idea is for you to make some research about the site you wanted to join. That way you can have many ideas and other people's insights about the site. But the best thing to do is to go to the most popular sites when searching. People who get scammed often have something to say to that site.

Thank you for your response.I will keep this in mind.But i still remember I used to join a program it sounds to be great according to ma ny people in the beginning,but after too many people joined in ,that program couldn't perform what it promise at the end.So someimes,even a research doesn't really help .But I think to observe the history and the progress of the program a little bit longer maybe much better.But scammer is surely everywhere.Thanks anyway.Have a good day.

Now that is the hardest thing to detect on the internet. i am a victim of scam myself I was conned $50 by people who promised me that i'll be earning $250-$500 per day. they gave me fake websites and stupid ideas which did not work at all. I tried conducting them but I never received any response. the best thing is never pay anyone. Good day

Thank you for your response.It is not happy to know that you are one of the victim too.I hope you can be more alert next time but I think that it is difficult not to trust anyone if we want to earn something online.There will always be a risk.But I think besides getting free stuffs and earn money like what we are doing in myLot(no investment except time,typing and a little bit of thinking)network,we do have to chose some reliable opportunity over the internet to keep trying.Otherwise ,,we will never be able to earn anything online.There are times we do need to invest some money before we can earn something big.But I think by looking at people's comment on different sites and people,it will be more careful than follow somebody we know nothing at all.Well,I hope you can earn some money online someday without lbeing scam anymore.Have a good day.

It's better for me to investigate the specified website, read discussions and reviews to avoid being scammed. That was the first thing I always do before I register and participate. I'm always checking if the site has a forum or a contact page and most of all, if the site is using SSL for their security to prevent being attacked by hackers.

To avoid scam sites, Just download wot which states Web Of Trust. when u download it. It will tell u rating of sites and review's of site. If site contains negative rating or comments, it will alert you. WOT will help you to stay away from malware,spyware,adware,malacious viruses and scam sites.
