If someone makes a bunch of profiles to cheat admin removes them all.

How do they determine it's the same person?

@sherryericha you can often tell as they all seem to pretty exclusively talk to each other and the writing styles are the same.
Also I expect admin can see the IP of the users.

"Fake information" ... What? like 'a bunch of profiles piled up to make it look like the real profile has a lot of followers'? Maybe admin takes steps against it, but I don't know why? I think the earnings algorhythm is based on 'if someone is surfing, opens your discussion & likes-and/or-contributes,' and I think it counts the same for you whether they're using a fake account or their real account (although now that I think about it they may use the 'fake account' in order that they can visit their own posts and have it count as 'someone other than themselves' visiting ...)
Either way, I think myLot has a 'validity-check' where it emails them and doesn't let them join if they don't check it.
And I think you can 'Report' the profiles you think are fake, and maybe @GoAskAlice will re-send the verify-email.

I imagine there are. Personally I have enough to do on my one Mylot account. But this the internet so you have to expect/accept some Fakers.

@tom_view. Until I read other comments on your post, didn't really understand why members would try it.
Duh - more likes, followers, etc.
