Scam Artist - Member trying to make money by making same words on all posts!

June 15, 2007 7:30pm CST
We have a myLot scammer here! She is replying to all mylot posts with: "hello and welcome to mylot.com" I caught on to her when she did that to my last post. I thought it was a little funny so I checked out her other responses and they are the same on all of them. Username: bestgirl2008 She has 378 post ratings or whatever you call that number and has only been a member for 4 days! She has been rated bad and I reported her! I don't think it is right to rack up a bunch of points for the same line over and over again and give nothing as to a response to the discussion and make money. Watch out for her and her one line response that has nothing to do with your post!

I just saw one of those posts a few minutes ago! I didn't realize she was doing it for everyone's conversations though since I only saw the one. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt, thinking she just accidentally posted in the wrong discussion or something, but now that I know that, I'll report her too! lol

People like her will not last, not enough money in mylot, only people who just want the money will not last, only people who do it for the fun of giving out their own opinion.

I don't think she should be allowed to make money off of her one liners also. I haven't ran across any of her posts but if I do I will also report her. What she is doing just makes it bad for the rest of us that are trying to play by the rules.

Yes, I have already reported her 5 times and if I come across anymore I will be sure to report her again. What gets me is that she has been at it now for 4 days and has not been stopped. You would think that mylot would have caught on after the first day. So I guess it is possible that mylot does not read all of the responses before updating the earnings. Because if they did, I would think they would have caught her a lot sooner. I sure hope they get her off of here before she makes too many more posts.

I think she is aware of what she is doing and is enjoying it. Have you noticed that she is responding to every new discussion that is started except the ones that are about her spamming everyone. If it was a bot doing it you would think her post would also show up on this discussion and the others that are about her.

I just went back and checked on another discussion about this girl spamming everyone and she had the never to post to it. But not the usual post she has been doing. She actually said she is not doing anything wrong, but just welcoming everyone new to mylot. Here is a link to that discussion. I can't believe this person. The nerve of her! http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1148141.aspx

I agree! A ton of us have reported her and she is still going strong. Now she is at 430. Another person mentioned maybe she is using a bot because she is the 1st to respond to most of the discussions. It does make sense because once you hit submit her response is there too. I don't think myLot would be able to read all the posts, there are 1000's out there daily that get submitted and then the replies. It would be impossible to read them all unless they have a ton of people working for them reading them all.

It is possible that mylot is not paying her well if anything for these post that are not good post. I thought it was unusual for her to post Welcome to me as Ive been here for a few months.

Great! Another scammer- I have not run into her yet- but how dumb to put the same thing line after line in several posts- pretty silly if you ask me- It doesn't take long to think of something else to say- very non-quality posts if you ask me!

We are thinking she was using a bot. I followed her late last night when she was in action and her responses were to quick to brand new posts and always in 1st place within a matter of seconds. As soon as I got to a new page her post number had jumped several numbers.

Oh well hope in the future we can have an ignore button along with the +, - and ! so that those spammers can never again get into our posts.

I like that idea...the ignore button! Maybe myLot will come up with something like that to where we can block people from our discussions that seem to not play by the rules.

I went to reply to someone earlier and saw the same thing. That is weird, I reported her as well. I do not know why people try to get away with such things. Thanks for posting this and drawing attention to the situation, hopefully others will see this and it will deter anyone else from doing the same =)

She is still at it...last I looked she was at 409. Once she makes it to 500 she will be able to copy and paste it in which will go faster for her. I have been waiting for her to comment on this post. I dare her too....lol ;)

I just came across a post from this user saying "welcome to mylot" to a another member who had a few thousand points! She should read the rules on spamming.

I saw this yesterday. Her response to someones discussion made no sense to me since the person who started the discussion was over two thousand posts so I decided to check out her profile. Like you I took the time to report her to mylot. I can't believe that she actually thought that she could get away with it.

I would have never found out about her if it wasn't for her response on my post. Thought it was strange so I checked out her other responses and they were all the same. Then I noticed her post number was jumping everytime I changed pages. We are thinking she is using a bot.

I had noticed the same thing myself. When I was reading through some discussions. I have been here for over a month and just now have that many post. Another thing that annoys me is the ones that start 20 something discussions a day, and very seldom responds back to the ones that have responded to the discussions. Granted I haven't had time to respond to every one of mine that I have gotten a response to, I work on it a little every day.

Yeah she's responded to two of my discussions. *rolls eyes* Some people just ruin the fun for the rest of us. If they don't get her out she better only get at least ONE PENNY

Yeah, that is pretty sorry of her for doing that, but I'm sure once myLot catches on she will get kicked off and her money taken away. I have only been a member for 4 or 5 days though and I have 550 something posts, so she could have actually done it, but if she is always putting the same reply, she's probably not even reading what the post says.

I have gone through her replies on at least 30 of her responses and they are all the same thing. And she is still going strong.... Welcome to myLot! You've been a busy, busy woman and must know how to type fast without errors....lol Or you've been living on here 24/7...ha ha. Just kidding! I try to come here daily and respond to a few, but I have so much going on it is hard to get on here sometimes. Anyways, welcome!

I reported her four times on four different discussions over the last 2 days and her account is still active. MyLot hasn't deleted her replies nor suspended or terminated her account. It is very annoying. I don't know why anyone would respond, she's just a spammer.

A ton of people have reported her and still nothing done. I don't get it! If myLot doesn't do something about it then they are saying it is ok to just do one liners and get paid for it. Which I don't agree with at all!

I have seen that response too, but it wasn't to one of my discussions. Tell me all 378 responses aren't just saying that same thing over and over again? That is ridiculous.

I looked at about 30 of them and all said the same thing. She is up to 463 now as of late last night. We are thinking she was using a bot. Too many responses within a matter of seconds and all in the 1st place of a post as soon as it was submitted.

I think she is trying too get to 500 postings so she can then get us with her next scam or something very dodgy. I will be giving her negitives and this isnt normally in my behaviour at all. I have had too respond to every discussion with a little bit of thought shes missing the whole point of why this is fun.

Her apology doesn't mean much if she just keeps at it. One of the things I really enjoy about myLot is the sincere responses and good discussions. We don't need someone ruining it with one-liners like that. Thanks for pointing this out. Now the rest of us can be on the watch and help police this. I saw a discussion the other day that just seemed like a fancy chain-letter. I mentioned that in my comment. I noticed a day later the discussion had been removed for violating discussion policy. So I guess I was right. Someone is obviously policing the site, but it is probably hard for them to discover one-liners.

As many comlaints they got on her you would think they would have stopped her. Some of us are thinking she was using a bot. The responses came in too fast on every new post someone did and always in 1st place.
