The maker of this task has (0) activity. He proposes to give you USD 0.60 to sign up for a mature dating website, as a 50-year old male seeking a female. You have to click on a banner first before you get to the site. I've seen that 8 slots have already been taken (only 2 slots left). If you're one of those who accepted the task, was it successful for you?
I am a little apprehensive about this. After all, I've never seen a task offering this much. (There was one other task that offered USD 1.05, but that's another story...).
So , I would just like to hear about what you think.
happy myLotting! :)

I would not have been concerned with the fact that he has zero posts here on myLot because some do sign up specifically to use the task section. While not all are fraudulent. But the fact that he/she is asking for those specifics to be applied fraudulently I would not do the task for the reasons as mentioned in the above response box 1.

hello doryvien!
So far, there hasn't been a task which I completed, but I wasn't paid. I suppose a criteria to know that it is legitimate is how realistic the salary is compared to the task required. I know that some tasks which require us to make a comment are legit, they offer USD 0.02-0.04. But I would not trust a task that requires me to download an application or software. What do you think?

Well I think you shouldn't do that task because the task he made requires you to be dishonest. So who knows if he will honestly pay you. Besides that might get you in trouble in the future. I don't think it's worth $.60.

yeah, i thought so too. i was surprised that he would require us to state that we're 50 year old men! I really wouldn't mind doing a fake account, but i was more concerned about viruses ... more than whether or not they would pay me. lol
thanks for responding!:)

I wouldnt complete the task since its suspicious. As for the project creator he just signed up here to get people to get his job done. Theres no assurance that you will be paid. Plus .60 cents is a lot for that task its purpose is to get our attention not to be paid exactly of that amount.

Yes, GoASkAlice said she will expire the task. It wasn't legitimate after all. I knew 0.60 was too much to pay a person! Thank you for responding! :)
