I've been getting a lot of emails from mylot members wanting me to sign up for different ptc's. Anyone else getting these? If you are on my friend list, please don't email me to sign up with anything. I'm not going to join anymore ptc's I have enough to do now. In fact, I'm going to cancel some of them that don't pay much. I'm spending way too much time online these days and need to cut back. So, if you keep sending me emails, I will delete you from my friend list and I will not join any ptc's. I don't want to be mean, but I don't know how or why people are sending me emails when they can pm me here.

Are you talking about your private email, or a private message here on myLot? I've gotten quite a few SPAM messages here on myLot lately too, people saying nothing but 'here's a great site - join under me'. I either ignore it or respond asking them to not send this type of thing again. I have no problem with someone that I've had contact with here letting me know of a good site that they think I might be interested in, there are several of us that have shared back and forth, but we've already established somewhat of a relationship in that area. Some of these other people I've never heard from before and really have no idea who they are, and the message is strictly SPAM. I don't go for that at all.

I am not accepting new friend requests when it is obvous it is only for spam reasons. These can be reported too as spam os illegal. As you say there is a proper way to do it but even that seems to be getting out of control lately. With forums on all the sites so manyusers here seeim to think MyLot is just another forum and thatis NOT the case, Happy posting and carry on as before as far s my pms are concerned

It's my private email. I don't know who they all are but I know one of them is from mylot. They just send me links to different sites. They also have a lot of peoples emails attached to the email. They sent it to hundreds of people. Maybe they're not all from mylot but I know one was. I don't know how they got my email.

Well i have been communicating through email with few of the mylotters. But they have never sent me an email regarding to join sites. It is just normal conversations. I am lucky in this matter i think. Those who have my email don't try to get referrals through email. The referral scarcity is really getting worse. I am also suffering for referrals. but would not try to email someone for referrals unless there is also some benefit for that members also.

I've never given out my email address on here to anyone. I'm wondering if maybe they are from another site I've been to. Although I do know that one of them is from here. I don't recognize the other ones. There is about 4 of them and they have hundreds of emails that they have sent these emails too. Thanks for your reply.

Spam is illegal. If I get spam be it in my PMs here or in my email from the same person twice I report that person to the site concerned. Some of us abide by the rules and the world would be a better place if everyone did! I know that will never happen but I do not have to put up with spam either ps I don't cross when traffic lights are red either

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to reply to the emails and tell them to stop sending them. If they don't, I'll just block them.

Maybe you shouldn't easily give your email address to other people, so they can't send you email that annoy you

I don't get this sorts of mail from mylot user, because no one already game their email address. Try to gently response tho those mails for the first time and tell them that you don't want to join those sites anymore. So please don't waste time by sending me invitation. If this does not works fine, you can mark the mail as spam and delete them in a row once in a week or any other suitable time.

I think people are making friends to promote their business. By way of posting a discussion here, I hope you will get a relief. Otherwise just ignore them. Ignorance is the best method and nobody can tolerate it. All the best and Happy mylotting.

I'm not getting e mails, but I'm getting a lot of friends requests only to be spammed in a pm. I'm with you, if the only reason you want me for a friend is to spam me, don't bother, I'll delete you if you keep it up.

Thank you. I think I have it figured out where they came from. I don't think it was from here, but from another site. Some of the people do mylot but they didn't get my email from here. Thanks for your reply.

I haven't gotten this annoying emails, I could imagine. I have gotten one or two in PMs here but I just politely tell them I'm not interested. I hope you no longer get these kinds of emails, lilcee.

I changed my email so I'm not getting them anymore. I found out they weren't from mylot. They were from another website I was on. Thanks for the response.

Your friends are just trying to earn money by referring people to other websites. Maybe you shouldn't give out your email address so easily, or you could make another email. I hate spammers too, they're so irritating.

I didn't give out my email to anyone on mylot. I started another post saying that I think they came from another site. Thank you for your reply.

Isn't that spamming? You should be able to report them. It is nice of you to write this warning first.

I have not gotten any of those to my private email. I have gotten some to my pm here on mylot. There are ways for people to get our private email addresses. If you didn't give it out than they must have found a way to get it without you giving it out.

I am not getting emails from anyone on my friends list. I do get a lot of friend request. I know what you mean about those emails. It take time to delete those messages. I wish it was a faster way to do that.
