Beware! This site is cloning myLot. Read this or else...  |
|
Good News: myLot is an angel. Bad News: myLot has an evil, identical twin brother!
I just found this site called MYLOTANSWERS through the whois record of myLot: http://whois.domaintools.com/mylot.com
Mylotanswers is entirely, completely, and definitely a myLot clone! I don't know about you but I consider this one as a Phishing Site - a site that is designed to clone a legitimate site for the purpose of harvesting or collecting personal information such as usernames and passwords.
See for yourself (click the links below):
This is a link for the ORIGINAL mylot frontpage: http://www.mylot.com
This one is from mylotanswers (FAKE): http://www.mylotanswers.com
When you click the original, you'll probably see the member's frontpage since you're logged-in. But when you sign-out and visit the two domains, you'll notice that they're completely identical. Only the domains aren't the same.
I also tested it in myLot profiles: (You can also try this one with your own profile URL)
Example is my profile page (Original): http://www.mylot.com/ronreyes
And this one is mylotanswers': http://www.mylotanswers.com/ronreyes
Now you'll see a big difference because the one from mylotanswers has a "Page Cannot Be Found" warning.
Something smells fishy huh!?! Well it really fits since it is a phishing site.
And here's an addition to the smell. I also found out that the site called TRYMYLOT http://www.trymylot.com is basically doing the same thing. Personally, I think it's also affiliated with mylotanswers and was developed by the same punk who are trying to hack other people's accounts.
What shall we do now: 1.) Report it to the myLot police. Let's contact myLot and tell the administrators about this phishing activity. They'll be the one who will request this site to be taken down. 2.) Spread the news. Tell the people about this especially the ones that are under your referral (you can forward this discussion to them if you want). They should be aware.
Tips to avoid hacking in myLot: 3.) Strictly myLot. Before logging-in, make sure that you're in the right domain. Look at the address bar of your browser. Make sure that it's mylot.com, NOT mylotanswers.com, trymylot.com, or any other domains. 4.) Type it yourself. It's a good practice that everytime we sign-in to myLot, we should type the real myLot domain (www.mylot.com) by ourselves. As much as possible, avoid clicking a link from other sites or blogs that tells you to log-in using that particular link.
* You can also apply the same tips and process for your Paypal account, Adsense account, E-mail account(s), PTC account(s), Social Networking account(s), etc. This will help us avoid wasting our efforts and hardwork due to the fact that our innocent accounts was hacked by a no-life freak.
Anyway, this is just a friendly reminder. I really think I should post this one for the benefit of all members.

Both are from same server and same IP.
Now tell me do u think both are not same.
Even if you ping them, then you will lead to the same ip i.e. 69.20.112.86
Happy to clear this doubt. You don't need to complaint on them at any time as they are from same. They are alias of this mylot site. You can use the any of the sites that you mentioned and all are same. Thank you.

| thegodwings (4) | 1 year ago | Sorry to all. Adihindu is correct. He did a good job. And all the mentioned sites are from same server and registrar. So no question of spam. Everyone know that mylot has dedicated IP and all the other sites are alias only. Please correct the discussion. It was very bad for me to see first discussion with misleading topic. Mr. Ronreyes, have you checked the whois registrar before posting the site. Do you say mail.google.com is a scam site for the gmail.com. Please do some reasearch. You are misleading the topic. Thank you.

|
|
| thegodwings (4) | 1 year ago | One more thing, I am posting the response from mylotanswers.com only.
You have started the discussion in mylot.
Now I login to the mylotanswers.com
I had viewed the top rated discussion and i.e. yours.
Now posted a response from the site mylotanswers.com only.
Now tell me how can it will be possible, if they are not same. They are just alias. Stop saying that they are scam.

fancymover (133) | 1 year ago | Hey ronreyes, you are misleading the topic. They both are same. mylotanswers is a alias of mylot.com with only access to the discussion database. And not with the profile database. I mean mylotanswers is a alias of mylot with no access to profile or only with limited access to the database. You are misleading the topic. Adihindu, Thegodwings are right. Thank you.

| thegodwings (4) | 1 year ago | Adding more details:
I login to my account in www.mylotanswers.com And Changed my avatar. Before that I don't have any avatar in mylot.com And now responding to this discussion again. Now tell me what is my avatar.How it can be changed with out changing in mylot.com
They are only alias and not more than that. There is no way of scam or anything in these sites. They are same.

| hellknight (11) | 1 year ago | So hot here is! Well, I realiy agree that mylotanswers is ally of mylot. Otherwise, how can you change you password on mylotanswers, then get login in mylot site!??!?!?

|
|
| Djtnz1 (9) | 1 year ago | This web site could be using a I-Frame Html code to place Full Mylot web page. but to do this Mylot has to agree to let them display there page here. or this may Breach Copy right Laws.

| moron615 (16) | 1 year ago | Despite these sites is ture or cheat,we should be aware of online cheat link.Be careful and keep our accounts safe is important to surf the internet.Thank you for sharing.

owlwings (5373) | 1 year ago | A very good analysis and good checking going on here! I had to say that the topic was worrying because, if they were cheat or phishing sites, they would have had to have hacked and cloned the database in real time (because, comparing the sites, they were being updated in real time). This is not beyond the bounds of possibility for a clever hacker if MyLot were insecure but I was very doubtful that MyLot would have tolerated such a security breach for long.
Everyone here who points out (with evidence) that the sites are legitimate clones is absolutely correct and we can breathe easy again!

2. gimmemoremoney (137) | 1 year ago | You did good in posting this. I never use outside links to log into my online earning sites, I open them from an excell document in which I keep track of all my online earnings. Safe, fast, and it keeps me motivated if I see the numbers add up. If I don't use the excel document to log in I use the Passcards of my Roboform, I'm guessing thats quite safe aswell but I try to avoid using it too much though, you never know if theres some malicious software on my disk. I'd kill myself If I lost my stuff.

kdhartford (946) | 1 year ago | That is a very good practice. Thanks for sharing. I think it is very important to protect yourself online an I know that it is sometimes difficult, these malicious attacks are getting much more sophisticated.

adihindu (1193) | 1 year ago | I do use the same software but with different name i.e. Sxipper. It was a firefox add-on and it can remember all passwords and I thought it was better than roboform. Try to check it once. Its add-on number is 4865 in mozilla firefox add-ons. I do find great use of these types of softwares as we can find those scam sites easily.
When it comes to trymylot.com and mylotanswers.com, both of them are not scam sites. They are owned by the myLot only. Thank you.
You can check response number 41, for more details on what myLot team concluded.

5. pierone (761) | 1 year ago | Hello, good job! Thanks to alert us about that. Till now i saw phishing sites of banks, online money managers, but is the first time i see someone that wanna steal some bucks in a site like mylot. According to the policies of mylot, maylot don't allow to use the same paypal account for more than a mylot account, that means that, also having our usernames and passwords, to steal our money, they should make 150 thousands of fake paypal accounts! What a job! The great in the people, is that they never stop to wonder you;)

ronreyes (609) | 1 year ago | Well some hackers are earning a lot of money because of their work. I believe there are two types of hackers, the good and the evil. Some hackers work for the government, military, and other corporations. Others are just trying to annoy and invade other people's privacy, bank accounts, and other financial related things.
