Should I Send Proof of MyLot Payment?

I was telling a friend on Facebook about myLot and encouraging them to join if it interests them. My friend makes extra cash online with many websites doing surveys, offers, writing, etc. So, I figured they would be interested.
My friend said he had never heard of myLot, but it does sound like something he would enjoy. He is skeptical though, and says there are a lot of scams/non-paying websites. I assured him myLot has never had issues with paying their members and has been around for several years.
My friend asked me for proof of payment so he could be sure that they really pay. I am not sure whether to give this to him or not, it is rather personal information, isn't it?
On the other hand, I can certainly understand his skepticism and providing a screenshot of my Paypal payment from myLot would help ease his mind.
I have not responded back to him just yet... Should I send proof of payment or not?

I know right? What kind of friend doesn't trust them?

To be fair, we're not close friends and we don't know each other personally. Just online friends that connected because of common interests (earning extra money online). So, I don't expect him to fully trust me.

@Angelee_27 Harumph. I wouldn't send proof of anything. You've already been helpful to him.

@Angelee_27 That would make sense. My "nay" vote is simply because enough is enough. And because I'm a horse.

I am not sure why he doesn't trust you. You aren't trying to scam him. If he really needs proof ~ you can show a print screen of your payment section.

@pgiblett Even though it's just your friend? Not payment information (email) just showing that you earned however much ~ the top left. And not post it all over Facebook, I think she would communicate with her friend via chat?

@infatuatedbby The original post talked about Facebook. I would not even email that information, but I am paranoid about security.

I don't know why people keep asking this question. You should absolutely, categorically, never, never, never give people proof you have been paid on any site. A screenshot of any payment page has so much information on it that hackers can use to break into your account. The other thing is that your local tax office may be taking an interest.

@Mike197602 Mike, too many people give out too much information too easily and then they wonder why their bank account or credit card got hacked. I have never been hacked because I am very careful and will never provide such information.

True to a certain extent but payment proofs could easily be given if you black out certain details.
I could give a screen shot of my payment from mylot and black out certain personal details very easily.
I'd not do that because any friends I have will take my word and not ever require a payment proof...they wouldn't even be interested in the pennies we get here, they'd be into the discussions.

I wouldn't show him proof of payment. He can't be much of a friend if he thinks you are being dishonest, unless you have a history of dishonesty with him.

No, nothing like that... we are just online friends. We connected via Facebook because we have mutual interests in making money online. I think we met in a Facebook group specifically for making money online.

If he's your friend he should take your word.
If he doesn't then F him he isn't your friend.

...more like an online aquaintance. I don't know him personally. I don't blame him for not trusting me.

I simply!y would not offer any proof, which is really superfluous. There should be more than adequate information online about Mylot to verify its authenticity.
The fact that I have been a member for over 9 years shows that I have never had any issues here.

@Angelee_27 There have been tons of sites that have ripped people off and that, unfortunately, gives all the sites a black eye. As I said, I have been here for ten years and have never had any problems.

I think if he did some research and tried it out for himself, he would quickly see that it's legitimate. I have never heard of anyone having missing payments or even late payments from myLot.

@freak369 I've been here about 5 years and I have never had any trouble from myLot.

True... I certainly didn't claim he could make a lot here. I used the words "a little extra pocket money per month".

You say he is your friend....but he doesn't believe you? What kind of friend is that. If it were me I would tell him to.....you can imagine what I would say.

Perhaps I used the wrong word, as I explained above:
"To be fair, we're not close friends and we don't know each other personally. Just online friends that connected because of common interests (earning extra money online). So, I don't expect him to fully trust me."
I suppose I should have used the term online acquaintance?

@Angelee_27 yes, this is a case where you weren't passing on correct information.

Don't send anything you feel uncomfortable, or that could be compromising...
Take a look and see if it is worth sending your friend to this post:
i am doing lot of efforts in mylot from last 2 to 3 days whole day i used it but dont know why i net get amount which i get in first week. i done comments and...

Thanks!
I think I am going to compile a list of links to helpful information about myLot and send it to him.

@Angelee_27 Do it as a myLot post and send him the link to it, make a cent or two

If your friend won't take your word for it, he's not much of a friend. I would not give him any proof because he shouldn't doubt you like that.

There has to be a direct relationship of earnings with interaction. If you enjoy the interaction then you will enjoy the earnings also.

I would never post pyment at all. If he wants to see for himself, then he needs to make an account and try it himself. That is really the only way he is going to know if mlot is ofr him or not. That certainly would be better than posting a payment, which has your personal information.
