it was just so sad that I was victimized by a scam. Hmp. I donated $1 to I dont know who and I was given $2 on my myLot balance. Now I just received the alert from paypal that I should file a complaint and request for a refund. And my balance will be deducted. So sad. Lesson learned. Anyone else who did this task? and has it been resolved by paypal already?

You must know sites who ask you to pay them from something are scam.A good site don't ask you to pay them.If you want to ugrade you acount the they will reques a payout from you or if you have mony on your acount on that site they will let you to transfer money from your acount to your upgrade areea.

Personally I only send money to people I know. Or as bonuses for my refferals, but no more than that. If someone asks for money from me in this manner, he/she can keep asking. You really should be carefull, there are a lot of scammers out-there. And from what I've seen all arround the net, there are a lot of naive people.Don't be one of them anymore!

Wow!! Do you know who this person was? Because if it was something thru myLot, I would report it and then see if there is something they can do, but in all this goes to show that the only Tasks worth doing here that could pay anything are the ones from SharonBucks. But personally I am hoping somehow that everything gets resolved the Best for you, and I am sure this is a Good lesson learned as well.

Scam!Scam! Scam! Gosh, Mylot has sent me a similar alert, but I had rather posted some testimony to this task creator- deonez saying that he has paid me 12 dollars for donating 6 dollars. I was waiting desperately for my november payment till today, when I see all my 12 dollars earned from deonez's task for donating has vanished and my account is merely showing 2.67 dollars that I have received for participation. I have been cheated very smartly.now what to do. God please help

sorry to hear that, there was already a warning or reminder before about this type of task so you might have missed that I guess, At least lessons learned from your discussion, Im sure allot will benefit from this specially those who are still not aware about this task or similar.

Oh no, you were scammed by mylot task? I received aler from mylot administrator while ago, and telling us to be aware of sending money to strangers. I hate this happen, but unfortunately, some people got fall into trap. Be watchful next time then.

I am so sorry. I have been lucky so far and have been paid bu the people I do tasks for. Just be careful and if you are in doubt ask one of the my lotters who have been on here for quite a while. They seem to be very knowledgeable.
