Was it becoming a trend or something? In the past couple of days, a couple of mail messages I received from mylot here, people kept on asking me to do a offer for them. Each every one of them asked me to take out my credit card information to go into a website to do an offer for them. And they will reward me somewhere between $4 to $6. What had gotten into their head? Why would they think that I will risk my financial information to do an offer for them for mere of couple dollars in return? Why can't they do it themselves then? They could use their credit card to done that too right? It just anger me for that. I would never offer my credit card information for some strange website to do some uninterested offers there.

I think the tasks that are offered on the mylot site for credit card information is for offers, and that most likely the author of said tasks has done an offer or two at the sites as well, but that they need yourself as well as other's to do offers so as to be a "referral" and give them credit so that they can get rewards.
Did that make sense to you? I know it sounds a bit tongue twisted (my writing style) to me.

I did not actually say that I agreed with said offers, I merely explained why I believe they send said invites to complete said offers.
In no way did I mean any offense by my original response, or comment.

Well, I understood what you mean here. But you gotta think about it. If a random stranger come in front of you, and ask you can you give out your credit card information to on a strange website that I don't know, would you randomly accept that offer. In addition, he said he gonna pay you $4 to $6 if you do it. Would you simply offer your credit card information just for a couple of bucks? Will you willing to go through all the hassles if your credit card is illegally charged? Just ask yourself that, does it make sense to you too? I gotta protect myself too.

I sure will, and let it be a perfect example of warning of rip - off for everybody here. Because we want to make money, that doesn't mean that we are that greedy, and desperate for the money making hunger. We also need to watch out our wallet, and beware of rip - off alert.

Last month, i ever received a few mail messages, asking me to complete a few offers that request credit card information, too. What i do is, i just ignore their requests. I don't dare to risk my financial information to the sites just for a few bucks. I feel it's very risky to give our financial information to the online sites, just to complete those offers. So, i am agreed with you that we should never give out our financial information just for the purpose of completing those offers. Happy mylotting....

Scammers my dear Clorissa and you should watch your friendship list more closely to avoid them. Beware of requests from new members who have made friends with hundreds of poeple in the first day, they will sit on your list with the sole intention of one day scamming you. When you delete them then they will immediately return so just keep them permanetly pending. I had mine down to 3 but landed a new one this week, I certainly don't want any of them mailing me so pending they will remain.

Thanks for the advise here. I sure know that they are scammers. I won't randomly give out my credit card number, even though they said it is risk free. There is no way I can trust them on that one. In our web, anything could happen, especially your financial sensitive information here.
