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.

42.  GardenGerty (20342) | 1 year ago |  I see what you mean Ron. I think that perhaps you should make sure that you communicate this to MyLot admin as well. I appreciate you doing so much to help us protect ourselves.

| 43. rosdimy (1889) | 1 year ago |  I was attracted by the topic. The arguments were logical and acceptable based on the facts presented. Before jumping to fixed conclusions it is better to search for more information. Someone else commented and had something different to say. I guess the final word lies in the hands of MyLot admin

|
| adihindu (1193) | 1 year ago |  I didn't comment anything wrong. Please check that response number 41 directly from myLot team. Thank you.
| |
|
|
| webeishere (12412) | 1 year ago |  Response #41 is not from mylot team at this time though.
Hmmmm?
| |
|
|
| patgalca (6035) | 1 year ago |  No, it's response 47. Don't know why they keep say #41.
| |
|
|
| adihindu (1193) | 1 year ago | Sorry to all, It was previously 41. And now it has been changed to 47. I don't know why it was happened. Thank you. | |

| 45. mssnow (4138) | 1 year ago |  Hi Ron, I just tested the site by purring in a fake password. It didnt work and they gave me an option to have it sent to my email address. I went ahead and said yes. Heres the thing. I DID not give them my email address. I just changed my password here on mylot. I got an email from mylot with the password i just changed it too. If they ar hackers they must have some sort of sytem to already get into your account.

| 47. myLot (70) | 1 year ago |  We wanted to jump in and clarify the situation. The 2 specific sites that are mentioned here, myLotAnswers.com and TrymyLot.com, are both owned and operated by myLot.com. We use these sites for various purposes and they are not fake, spoof, spam or phishing sites. If you are using any of these three sites your posts will show up on all three and you will earn the same amount no matter where you post. However, you did find a bug on the profile page of myLotAnswers.com and we are working to fix this issue.
This does not mean that you should trust any site out there with myLot in the URL. We have been made aware of sites that are trying to spoof myLot.com and have worked to remove all known violators. If you come across another site that you have a question about please use the contact link at the bottom of any myLot page to send a message to us and we will let you know if it is a true myLot site or if it is a fake site. Remember, if in question you can always trust www.myLot.com.

 loxion (780) | 1 year ago |  Hello Cream i am not sure as well, i mean anybody can do it
| |
|
|
| loxion (780) | 1 year ago | Again he/she is ramked 61 and if you check the profile it says he/she is 39, how long has mylot being operating? 39 years? | |
|
|
| adihindu (1193) | 1 year ago | Hey, they are the myLot team. If you check their profile for their activity, then you will know this. | |

| Beruang (684) | 1 year ago |  I am glad that myLot stepped in to clear the air. When I read the topic and the discussion started by the author, I was worried that we could be victims of some clone sites out there. I even went to visit those sites and based from what I saw, they ware too perfect to be clones of myLot.
After reading further down the thread, it led me to this response and I am glad that I took the time to read. This shows that we should not believe everything that we heard or read or see but we must take some times to investigate the matters or get more opinion so that we would not end up somewhere that we do not want to be or nit supposed to be.
I am glad that there are members of myLot that took the trouble to find out the truth and for myLot itself to jump in and clarify! this is what community is all about!
Cheers!

| lexus54 (2665) | 1 year ago |  I want to thank myLot team for clearing the air. Otherwise members will all be concerned about such sites. Ronreyes did us a service by alerting us to these two sites because he thought they look suspicious. Phishing sites are commonly deployed by scammers these days, so we shouldn't be complacent about these things. At lease now that myLot team has clarified, we know these are legitimate sites belonging to this programme. Most members don't even know the existence of these two alias sites before today, and that includes me. Now we are made aware, thanks to Ronreyes bringing mention of these sites in this discussion.

| lilybug (15326) | 1 year ago |  Looks like another case of people jumping to conclusions before they get all the facts. Thanks for clearing it up myLot.

| webeishere (12412) | 1 year ago | Thnak you mylot very much for the clarification.
Sorry to have disbelieved these other sites etc.

| kkanaka (393) | 1 year ago |  wah what a mess!! thanks for the clarification.....

|
|
| nanajanet (2661) | 1 year ago |  Well you said that you clarified it but can we be sure that you are REALLY from myLot or just using their logo? Why I ask is that some people are really good at this and want to make sure.
And, if those sites do belong to myLot, why was it such a big secret? Shouldn't it be something that members are all aware of? Full disclosure is always good, even if just to avoid mix ups such as this.

|
| rainmark (3698) | 1 year ago |  Mylot admin/team is that you talking?
Thanks for the clarrification but i always use the mylot.com, coz i already trusted this site not other mylot twins or clones.
Cheers.

|
| myLot (70) | 1 year ago | Yes this is actually myLot responding. These are real actual sites in which we are responsible for as we use these sites for various purposes.
Best regards~
