I like my lot co'z I know in here I don't have to pay mylot to sign me in. But I'm a bit desperate over earning some bucks and have looked and signed up to this "online job" site. It says it's easy to register. So I did signed up, but when I tried to get the job I was asked to pay them 68usd for registration. Of course I did not pay. I'm broke here reason why I'm looking for some online job and then they asked me for payment? Oh I don't understand and I am thinking now that they are scam but I am not quite sure though reason I have to asked in here. What do you think guys? Is it possible that after you pay... they will rain you down with jobs like they promise they would be?

a pleasant day leeandrew, with reference to your discussion, well, generally, if an online registration ask for some amount of money, then it can be consider as a scam site. however, in every general rule there are always an exception, hence, not all online registration that ask for an amount can be tag or claimed as scam. perhaps, this is a part of the invested amount that you need to share to be qualify for some membership fee or freebies. aside from that, you may consider this as your initial capital for the venture that you are joining in. thus, a business was somehow patterned to a gambling since you are investing in some money to initially operate the industry that you have started. what really matters here is the amount of your investment or the money that you need to give in or pay. if the amount is too big, then you must really think it a thousand times but if the amount is not very material, then, why not to give it a try. in life, there are times, we must learn how to take even a small risk rather than completely ignoring it then time will come, we will have our big regret.

hi there, the situation dictates why you feel hesitant in joining that site. hence the amount is quite big. though you have your "what if" thoughts on your mind, it is still best to inquire about it otherwise, your joining fee might form a big part of a daily budget.

You are actually right. I have a "what if" in me about that online job that they are offering. But what I cannot take risk is spending 68 dollars for that. That is huge money on my part. If its only 2 to 5 dollars I probably might give in, but 68 dollars? duh, I'll wait for someone to tell me it's true. I need real proof as in legit proof. I like the job their offering actually: product review and blogging, oh! those where my favorite hobby.

Actually I am now reading reviews about making money online and not being scammed. Its actually good to read reviews about all these things so that it won't be a waste of time for us and not complain much whenever we sign up for an online earning sites. I'm now understand what's gpt's and others the same sites.

No don't pay anything for a on line job! I agree with all the other posts here! I have several jobs I do online and never been charged a dime! They pay me and have paid me several times. It took me a lot of time to research that! Be careful and take the My Lotters advice don't pay! It is probably not only a scam but a way for a criminal to get your info! Be careful and take care out there and have a greta day.

That's what mylot peeps is telling me. I know I have great benefits here co's with a neophyte like here in this online earning world, more of mylotters have better judgement than me. A lot of them were telling me not go give in to such sweet talks or else I will become a victim and say goodbye to my hard earned money. That is one of my problem though because I have given them my information already that asking of payment thing did not occur until after I have filled up the form of information. I just hope they won't use my name for criminal purposes. Thank you! happy mylotting to you!

yeah. mylotters are great and has great opinions and views. Hurry! to all of them. Actually just this morning I receive an email telling me to get this online job that I also grabbed in hoping that was legit and to my dismay, it thus again asked me more money now than the previous one. I just can't believe it! they probably thought I would give in to their schemes and that I'm desperate enough to buy in that offer. What they don't know is I'm researching. ANd I have known that they are not legit! Thanks!

I find it risky to invest money online. I don't think I'll go with that kind of job as there could be no assurance that they'll give you jobs. It will always depend if your qualifications suits the job. I've been scammed for few times and I guess it is harder to accept that if you did not invest any amount unto it.

Yeah I know it was quite risky for us whose money is just enough to meet ends. Probably with those who has more money it's big deal with them. They can try it if it's true or not. Actually no experience required from the said online job just pay them the amount and your in. It's quite tricky actually and its hard to trust with sites like that.

what your people have come up with are correct about online jobs but at the same time there are people who are into different jobs with the help of online jobs. its on us we have to judge whether its a spam or a true one. if someone asks me personally i would pay interest towards a job post so long if will be followed by a personal interview and without any investment

Hello leeandrew. if it is an online JOB, there should not be any fee upon registration. If there's a fee, it must be OPTIONAL. But I know not all Online Jobs that require a fee upon registration is scam but it's hard to know which is true or not unless you know someone has been paid for it many time. But Ideally, online jobs must be free of charge and upgrade is optional. I encounter many online jobs out there that ask for payment such as Easy Writing Jobs, Online paid surveys, and others. I have always been enticed by these but I don't spend my money. I am not sure if these are true. Some onlien paid surveys that require you to pay promise you to be wealthy by simply filling out surveys. Their rate per survey is unbelievably high and those are so hard to believe. If you are not skeptical, you would fall into their trap easily. So be careful. do a background research, look for reviews before joining. If you get so much positive reviews, then that's the time to decide. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

I understand the hesitation. 68 dollars is already a big money to invest for such a program with 50/50 chance of legitimacy. Good thing that you changed your mind. :)

Hi, Actually the online jobs you mention was the one I have register of. It promises good income simply by filling out survey form and blogging their products. I have six blogs and I can really do the blogging and I can do the survey as well. I got really excited to register until the payment form came out and I was asked for 68dollars. I was actually considering it at first but then I change my mind co's I don't wanna loss money.

Thanks I know. At least this time I won't fall into registering in such sites again. Actually since they have my email address, they are bogging me now with emails which I marked spam, they're telling to get on ahead an register co's the loads of job opportunity for me. Actually reading it is really tempting, but the moment I saw it on my inbox I delete it right away so that I won't get tempted again and soon I will regret again that I have entertained such scams. Thanks to mylotters who have helped me see things clearly because if not I'll still be here hoping that the job was true and probably I have invested in that site for nothing but frustrations.

Thanks. I know, I've learned twice from such schemes.I just hope though that I won't fall into that trap again in the future. Although they haven't got anything from me not a cent but just my info. Oh my personal info. tsk.tsk. I wish I did not sign up. They seems legit at first actually but after they get you personal information they continue in asking money from you. How I wish I knew it first.

When you apply an online job and they ask for money, beware this must be a scam! They promises are only broken promises trust me. They will only give you list of sites wherein you can apply for the said job. That's it! So better keep your hard earned $68 and spend in other more productive endeavours.

Yeah I know. I been reading reviews about online jobs and they don't mention any fee at all. They also said that when the site is asking for money it means the site is not legitimate. I'm just thankful that some people here care to discuss their views over such thing co's it is very helpful. I am actually looking and reading into other online jobs where I can work at home.

I actually know it was a scam when when they asked me more money. And they now are raining me with emails telling that there a huge opportunities waiting for me. Actually the amount they are telling is so tempting to give in, but my pocket just say no. hahaha. I will just keep on looking and doing mylot. I know hard works pays. IT may never be seen today but I know it will in the future. Who knows mylot may the reason where I can buy a car for my family use. That would be an awesome motivation for me to conintue mylot. hahaha. Just keeping hopes high! :)

Yeah. That is the reason why I did not go into it co's I am doubtful about the offer. Every job that I want to get and whenever I register a product or voucher would come out asking me what type of payment would I do. 68 dollars is a lot, oh goodness I cannot take risk letting go of my money as easy as that. The offer is actually quite tempting if probably I have extra money I probably would try just to see if it's really true, but I for now I just won't take the risk.

I do not believe such sites. have always tried writing in sites like mylot that do not ask for money when registering or to buy something and later start earning money. You are right saying that probably a man who have decided to work online does have neither money nor ways to start a normal job.
@leeandrew (1225)
• Philippines
12 Oct 12
I don't either now. But they seems legit at first. The site is clean and the offer seems good too. But when your done filling up your info they'll proceed by telling you to pay for this certain product before they'll let you really in and give you jobs. In fact they sends emails me again. They next time I receive and email from them I will mark it as spam so that I won't get victimized again.

No, there's no such thing as online employment. There is only employment offline ... it may be for things you do online, but the "money" takes place 'offline' (and uses a totally-different computer network ... we might talk to banks on this Internet, but it only touches a 'virtual representation' of the money.) When people offer money for tasks online, it's like your grandparents offering money for lawn-work ... they give you the money, you give them the finished task; but the only connection there is one you imagine.

hahahaha. nice representation of this online offline work. Honestly the amount these sites offering is really temptacious if there such a word as that (that this computer don't believe there is. lol). But there actually few good sites out there that is really legit and is real but the work they offer is real as well and they don't ask for registration fee. I just hope I'll get meet them someday. lol.

Absolutely, though there are exemption. I won't mind investing big amount of money if I know I would benefit it. Just recently I paid a hundred dollar for an investment. I invested because I know I can rely on that someone who recruited me for that said investment. I know it was quite risky to do that because of so may what if... but I do believe that this things comes for a reason and this was many the reason why I have extra money for it. And besides I pay it with the person not just an online payment or something. I could always get back to that person who got my money.

One thing you have to tell yourself is if you are looking for to make money,you are not looking for to spend it before you have it. Because right there it tells you it is a trap. There is a lot of scam online, when it took good to be true well it is not true that's that.

Yup, there is one site actually that is offering a one dollar seminar to get hired. But after you give in to the seminar they'll asked you to purchase a product from them. And since you have viewed their seminar or something now you'll get interested in getting their product to get hired. There's someone I know actually who tried this schemes and she said she got refunded by the amount she paid because she seldom get a job opportunity, so she demanded her money back. Good thing they refunded her.

Never pay for a job. They are supposed to be paying you if they hire you. Most of these sites are scams. There are many ways to earn online but they take time to develop into a decent stream of cash. Any money making site that asks me for money makes me head directly to the back button on my browser. There are many free sites that do stuff like share revenue or where you can sell articles, crafts, photos and the like and they are 100% free.

That what's I've been told by many, but you know when your desperate for a job and this one offers good even with a registration fee I think one would consider. I'm just glad I don't have that much money to risk. Actually you are right. Those sites earn money whenever someone is get hired and have done the job. I know for sure they have their share of earnings too. Thanks for sharing I might go look for free cash earnings site that is free. Happy mylotting.

What kind of online jobs you are talking about? Survey site? Don't bother yourself to pay that money. Not only they got your money, they will also make you as their referrals. Better to look by yourself, or you could try to use GPT site. Inboxdollar, rewardingways and cashcrate. They are the best GPT for members from US, UK, CA. They provide daily offers for people from the country that I have mentioned.

Yeah, I'm talking about survey sites and writing jobs. Now I understand, they don't want to help people really they just want the money and use that person for their own good. What is GPT by the way and how to do that anyway? I would like to get daily offers specially that I online most of the time.

Online jobs that requires money to get in is seems not legit but networking is... may it be online or not. I just registered to an online networking about selling books and I pay a 100bucks for that. I know it's quite scary to invest such big amount but I still took the risk co's the person that invited me is trustworthy. It's really hard to just trust people nowadays when it comes to money because, we'll never know what are their thoughts towards it. Hubby and I don't trust agent on paying dues for our behalf. hubby make it a point that he pays it himself whether it's a bank payment or a service center payment. He does things himself so that he knows that it gets there the right time. Thanks for commenting.

All such sites are aiming newcomers at online world. Usually such sites announce big reduction on their normal fee that may end within a certain hours to make the member with no time to think. MyLot forum is a great help to identify such scam sites.

True! I don't consider myself a newcomer though but this is my very first time applying online job alone. Before friend was the one who would find a legit site and she would just refer me, and I like that process a lot, but now since she's far we don't do such thing anymore, so I'm on my own. Yup, mylot is indeed a great help for me. Mylotters here are more generous to share their thoughts. It's good to know and learn from here. I'm just glad I'm back here for good!

Hi lee! Those sites are totally scam! Never join those sites. You can keep participating in the discussions and soon you will be able to know what are the legit sites because our friends here are constantly opening topics about the site where they earn much. You can refer to those discussions and you will learn a lot of things. MyLot is still the best site for me. Have a nice day!

I will just wait for some online opportunity to surface that I'm capable to join in rather than taking risk with that site. I just keep on participating with discussions like this. Thanks mylot too!

Its our presence online is too much. Why do they dare to ask money for registration? Obviously they are scam. They raises money by tempting us by a job with huge income. But there is nothing significant into the job. May be internet is the fearless place of the criminals. They feel easy exploiting money from internet as because they wont have to face justice,arrest, fining or imprisonment.

Scam! scam! and that's they are.... a scam! It bogs me why the rain me down with emails and in the emails they seems legit but when you try to sign up the want you to purchase a product from their site. And just this morning they were offering me a product that cost 77 dollars. Goodness, I would never pay them co's I don't like the product as well. My money is too valuable for me to let go. Duh! Hahaha. All sort of people are using internet. May it be someone with good intentions or someone with bad intentions. Anyone can use internet as long as they know how to operate it. The sad thing though those people with bad motives knows a lot better how to use this than those who are not. Happy mylotting to you.

I actually could if it's not that much and as long the site is legit and I know friends that are already working with the sites. I don't paying though as long I can benefits from it. But with 68dollars of fee, duh, that is too much. And even a businessman with loads of money would never give in to such that easily. This is the reason I asked mylot people to learn thier views and opinion about it actually co's to be honest I was tempted. Investing for just 68dollars and earning as much as more than a thousand a month is quite good earnings for me. But still I get skeptical about the offer. Gladly to know mylotters like you come to my rescue. Thanks a lot.
