Ever Been Scammed?

Okay, has anyone ever been scammed? I mean scammed by a website that we earned money on. Well, I think lots of people here have. I have as well. And I think the biggest scam ever was Bubblews. But I was scammed way before Bubblews existed. I forgot the name of the site but I joined and they said I could make real good money there. Well, I followed the rules and things seemed to be going fine. Well, that was until they turned around and charged my PayPal account for 20 bucks. That angered me. I contacted PayPal and had them dispute the charge.
Well, it took about a week but I got my money back, thanks to PayPal. PayPal investigated the site and found that, yes, the site took money unjustly from my account. So, I got my credit and I also got an apology from the site. Not that I wanted that. But they then explained that I had to pay money into the site in order to make money. Which was a deception. From the get go. They never mentioned that. So, that was my first major brush with a scam site.
Yes, I have been scammed by some PTC sites, those are paid to click sites. But they weren’t as bad as the one I mentioned. Then came Bubblews. Wow. We all thought it was the place to be. Three years later, they screwed every single member there. Horrible. Lie upon lie from the owners. So that was a family of scammers. Sad. But I will say, the one site that never, ever tried to scam anyone. I am sure you can guess who that is.
Yes, the site that NEVER scammed anyone is MYLOT. And I put it in caps. MyLot is the one site that has been truthful and honest from the very beginning. And I came to learn that is why MyLot has so many loyal members and members that will defend this site. So, I think we all need to get scammed at least once in order to understand how the internet world really works. Especially when it comes to earning money. I love MyLot and I trust MyLot. I trust MyLot way more than I do Facebook. And I think Facebook scams the people also. But after being online for many years now, I know for a fact that MyLot is probably the only site of it’s kind that is truthful and honest.

I was suddenly dropped from a website that I was on for years. They still owe me a $5 pay pal payment. I sent an email asking for the payment but they refused to answer. This was just recently. I was owed money by Bubble and Helium when they closed. At least, Yahoo Voices paid me when they shut down. They were honorable.

I hate that with sites. I was also with ChatAbout until they decided to lock me out of their site for no reason. I was owed money there also. But I just gave up on them. No reason was given. I even tried contacting them a few times about the issue, no one ever got back to me. Like everything else, any site is subject to change without notice.

Oh I know that. I completely trust MyLot, always have. I have been here many years. I just hate sites that do scam the people. I find being honest is the best way to go. And ever since Bubblews opened, there were many copycat sites that scammed the people also. They are all gone now, including Bubblews. MyLot rules and will live on as the best site on the internet. As far as I am concerned.

@Drosophila That is a good way to be. I am also to a point. But sometimes we get caught up in things.

@Jessicalynnt I don't think we would be able to sue. But to smear his name would be just fine with me.

There are 3 sites that haven't paid me and its bad; however, I have moved on. One of the sites has been mentioned by many on this post. The other 2 the amount is just not enough to post about them.

I was never scammed by bubbles, unless when they paid us way less.

i have found myLot to be trustworthy and helpful when you need help, Can you even imagine Bubblews responding a call for help? Never!

So far, I've been pretty lucky. Because of a family emergency, I left bubblews before they had a chance to do any damage to me. By the time I was ready to go back, they were closing. But yes, it was a sad thing and pretty horrible what they did to everyone. They sure had us all fooled.

I was also one of the thousands scammed by Bubblews. I'm so glad to hear what you have to say about myLot. I'm feeling the same way and I haven't been here all that long. Persona Paper also seemed like a nice site, but unfortunately the earnings were just so low that I couldn't put in the necessary time required.

Thanks. I know MyLot is awesome. This is the only game in town now. Bubblews, sadly, they were a nice site, but the owners weren't. Persona Paper was okay but they stopped paying also. So, what's left? Nothing but MyLot. This is the place to be.

That makes two of us about Mylot.I have signed up a couple of sites .I think Bubblews said every fine word and did every foul deed,even was inferior to Personapaper that stated the fact as it was.

Isn't it sad how many have been scammed by different sites? Finding one like this-well, it might be the only one.

MyLot is the best one around. I have spoken to some people from another site that is going under about MyLot. Some of them were member here years ago and some never were. But some of them don't like MyLot. That evades my intelligence. What's not to like about MyLot? This site has it all. All that the others never had.

I don't really think of Bubblews as a scam. I actually earned a LOT of money there in the short time it was thriving. They just didn't handle the business model correctly & didn't communicate properly. It was definitely not good business. But it wasn't a scam.

Bubblews was a piece of work, so to speak.
