Hello my friends!
Yesterday, as I logged in to my Gmail account, a message said that someone through a site hacked my Gmail, so it's better to change the password, etc. Guess what? The site was PEOPLESTRING!!!
I couldn't believe this since I knew that Peoplestring is a legit site that don't scam people, but then I thought "is this possible? and how???"... And then I realised, that I used the little panel on the right on Peoplestring to log in with the help of it to my Gmail account! So I honestly think, that's the way they could have my Gmail account hacked! So I say, AVOID logging in to your email or msn, or skype or facebook, etc. through the site, because they are hacking your account!!! Since Gmail is not my no.1. email account I don't have many adresses there, so I don't know if they sent any spam email to my friends! I just hope they didn't! By the way, I registered with my Gmail adress on Peoplestring!!!
I'm really affraid that the site is not in the right hands, even if it pays / is a good site to earn!
Have a nice day!

thanks for sharing this information! but....peoplestring actually pays? lol where is the proof in that? Have you actually gotten paid from them? I've been w/ peoplestring for about a year and just could not make $25. It is legit but impossible to reach payout. how did you do it. or how are you doing it?

you should play games, check the "cashbox"-thing, the site-email-box, and you get about 70-80 points a day... I think I'll stop working on this site..
have a nice day!

That site is a scam in discuise. They are no longer paying most of their users I think now it's only us and canadian citizens. It's so boring anyway it's a rubbish site that looks as if it's got some kind of content when really it's got nothing. Waste of time site.

peoplestring is no good at all..I was member of the site and I stopped going there ..they says that we get points for task we do on the site and each month points are converted into cash but I didn't saw any cash for my point converted and it went on history tab.

Hows this for scary? Say if peoplestring can find out your password to your gmail account and send emails from that address to do illegal things eg terrorism threats and that then they track the email to you and you can do lots of time in jail. Think about it. That would freak me out but its a worst case scenario.

If you avoid logging in to any of your email, or other accounts like facebook, msn, etc, you won't get hacked that's sure! I'll be more careful doing my stuff on Peoplestring after this incident... And I just want to alert other people because I don't want anybody to be in this situation like me!
Have a nice day and thank you for your response!

Did you take a close look at the spelling of PeopleString in your email? Using a closely spelled work is a trick someone could of used. For example they may spell people as PEOPIE and depending on the font, that "I" between the "P" and "E" could like an "L".
