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. thumbdownthumbdown

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)   ranked 31,773 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  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.


myLot reputation of 91/100. adihindu (1193)   ranked 630 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 year ago

Hi.,
After checking thegodwings response, I checked login to the mylotanswers.
Now I login to the mylotanswers and I am giving this comment.

How come it will possible to give the comment to your discussion. Sorry that you are really misleading. I do love to take dare steps in my life so that I login to that mylotanswers and found it greatly. Please correct your discussion. You are misleading. You should do some research before posting a discussion about sensitive matters. Thank you.

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.

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.


myLot reputation of 91/100. adihindu (1193)   ranked 630 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 year ago

I too tried something odd, but got no problem.

What I tried is,

First changed my password in mylot to america.

Then login to mylotanswers with my oldpassword. --No Access

Then login to mylotanswers with america -- login success

Then I changed my password in mylotanswers to indian

Now I login to mylot with america -- Noaceess

Login to mylot with indian -- login success

If they are not alias, then It won't possible. Thank you.

so what adihindu said is totally right & what ronreyes mentioned went wrong totally..
anyway, i just want ronreyes to make it clear about the information before posting.
but i like ur saying.. hacking is used for both good and bad.. for good purpose by government & militaries and for bad purpose for stealing passwords & informations from hackers..

but, adihindu rocks here!

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.


myLot reputation of 87/100. owlwings (5373)   ranked 674 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  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!

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.


myLot reputation of 83/100. kdhartford (946)   ranked 1,821 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  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.


myLot reputation of 86/100. ronreyes (609)   ranked 1,599 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 year ago

I have a question gimmemoremoney. Is Roboform safe?
I remember the time when I badly need a software to use for a fast and easy log-in. Then I stumbled to download.com and saw this Roboform thingy. I didn't download it though. I was a bit skeptical about it.

 

myLot reputation of 91/100. adihindu (1193)   ranked 630 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  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.

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;)


myLot reputation of 86/100. ronreyes (609)   ranked 1,599 out of 32,760 in mylot.com  1 year ago

Create 150,000 paypal accounts!?! Holy cow! They'll probably become mentally retarded afterwards.

However, if ever a certain hacker hacked one myLot account that have high earnings, he can use his own Paypal account to harvest the money. All he has to do is to change his personal information in his Paypal that corresponds to the information in the myLot account that he hacked. I think it's possible. But no, I'm not a hacker! I just used logic on that. lol

Thank you very much for your concern. I am sure this will be highly appreciated by the whole myLot country.

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.
