Hello mylotters! I am now using mylot in searching the internet for the first time. As I make some searches, there is a note. It says "We have noticed some suspicious activity for this account". I am wondering what this is all about. Do you use mylot on searching? Have you experienced this issue?

I experienced that too. Twice but I feel scared when i got notification twice and I read the FAQ again. Its say we need to used it in natural way and if we abused that service our account will be cancelled without warning. I got scared so i used it sometimes. because I want to be certified myloter here and be a member in this community forever.
I love searching many things in the web because I want to know everything but we can't used mylot web in that manner .searching non stop is not good for mylot web and they will think that we abusing their service just to get more reward..but for me is not about that! it just sometimes,some people are confused in everything and I'm one of them. so if you love mylot community and stay forever here we need to used it in natural way..ok?

I used mylot search for nearly a month. I was rewarded three times . I also got similar comments. Whenever you get such a comment, stop using search for the day and the next day you may not get that comment.

I guess mylot search engine is very generous to me
last month i got 11 rewards and this month already got 1
i was warned just twice till now using the search engine
i use it many time in a day but not at one go, as i hardly search for rewards. This is what i suggest other to do
@champoy one could get suspend if one repeat the same mistake again and again

How much do you get in using it? That is what exactly I did yesterday. I stopped using it. I am scared that they might suspend or delete my account due to suspicious activity that they've said.

Yes. many people have not got such comments possibly because they do not use to quite often. Have you received rewards?

No, never experienced that. did the admin email you that note? hehe, that's odd. maybe they thought you were a hacker or something?
I search from old discussions to help me with some common problems like things related to how to operate my profile.

Since I am new here enjoying here in mylot, I agree with you.. For security reasons , if mylot admin suspects a user using their mylot search engine and typing some like on how to, then the certain topic you are interested which is very suspecting to the admin. Mylot admin may send you some notifications maybe send you some first warning of violation from the rules. It is just like a notification letter received if you had violated inside the school premises. Maybe something like that.

I have also used mylot searching before, but have not experienced such things. Really don't know why this happens. Maybe you are search something which is violate mylot guidelines? Or the site mistakenly thinks you are using searching for rewards?

Yes, I've been using mylot search for about two months, but I never got such a message.
I would like to mention that they have a system in place that detects any attempt of misusing the search feature of mylot. For instance, if you are trying to use it "unnaturally" to get paid more, they note it as suspicious activity.
Maybe you were trying to misuse the system by haphazardly searching and being unethical.
please ignore my comment if you have not done such things. It is just my guess!

hi champoy186 I think you were just on there a bit too long and yes we have all at one time or another got that warning. its unsettling but wait an hour or so then go back to do your search. I t will be okay then,they just are on the lookout for anyone trying to game the system. you are okay.

It sounds strange for me too. I was shocked that the message says I am having a suspicious activity. I was just searching that time. It made me scared that they might cancel or delete my account. I would be more careful next time on using their search tool.

It happens when you are typing words without meaning,or repeating the same search frecuently, so they understand that you are trying to outwit the system to get a reward.
So whenever you see that message dstop searching, because if you continue they can delete your account for your behavior.

Thank you Rosa26 for your advice. I will follow your advice. I used it before not because of reward. I was just searching. I will use it naturally next time. I am scared that they will delete my account. Have a nice day!

I have searched my lot search engines sparingly and have not found such messages yet.
Try to contacts mylot officials if you are getting such problem on a consistent basis.
