I had asked one friend on mylot for link exchange , he agreed but at condition that i had to first join on his link then he would be join on mine. I did joined on his link and informed him, now he told me tha he would join on my link after 7 days as it was his exam time. 20 days have gone passed and he has not joined on my link.
What should I do with cheater?

Yes, Nainesh1, I agree with you completely. An exam is in no way an excuse for not completing an exchange. During the day that you became said person's referral he/she shoud have done the same for you. :-( It is quite unfortunate to have things of this nature happen to us, but sometimes they do. :-( You would think that with the lack of increased revenues worldwide, that others would be more inclined to help one another, not scam each other. :-(
I guess the best lesson you can learn from this is to just be a little more careful next time. :-) You have said that another referral and yourself are doing well with the trade that you two of you had, so maybe it would be best to only trade with that person until you can find others that you trust. :-) Oh, in your case, since you are a trustworthy person, maybe the next time you ask for an exchange make sure to validate that your refferal has joined your site first. :-)

The money interests here on myLot are filled with many scammers, spammers and cheaters and this is so sad. It is even worse that you met up with one of them.
Beware of users with only a few posts who come here saying 'join this or join that' because most of them cannot be trusted. It takes time to build up a network of friends who help each other and trust buids up during that time too.
Be careful and learn from this hard lesson

Tell it like it is!, Mysdianait. :-) You know, I had an altercation of non-exchange with one of the members here in myLot too. :-( That was quite unfortunate for me because the site I joined required me to do a large amount of "work" for little pay. I was a little devastated when the "orders" of our deal were not carried through. :-(
It is just as you have said, "be careful and LEARN from this hard lesson". That is exactly what I did. :-) After my setback was said and done I laughed "all the way to the bank". In so many words, the person who cheated me out of my earnings became the one to suffer at the end. :-) How? Well, the site that I joined turned out to be nothing but a scam itself. Ha! Ha! :-) Karma has a super way of turning the greed of others into an inablity to gain that greed. :-)
"Scammers, spammers and cheaters" here in myLot, who would think there could be such a thing? :-( This site just seems too "nice" to be believe that things of that nature could actually occur, but it does. Quite sad, yes it is. :-(

When that happens just don't waste your time with the site that he got you to sign up for. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there like that. They want you to help them out but they aren't willing to help you out. Hopefully you have better luck in the future with link exchanges.

cheaters is the skill of each individual, probably most people who like and some are not liked, but we must appreciate their efforts. take the postive aspect of them all, thanks

Presumably if you are interested in the program, you are not really losing anything by joining, whether this person keeps his side of the bargain or not. It is galling, I know, when someone reneges on an agreement but there's not a lot you can do about it apart from cancelling that membership and joining again under someone whom you would prefer to receive referral income from your activity.
Referrals are really only worth their salt if they are honest, reliable and hardworking. It sounds as though this person fails on two of those counts, at least.

Well, hopefully you are actually interested in the link he offered you so it's not a complete waste. I don't think there is much you can do, without looking like the bad guy yourself too! Just ignore any future offers he makes and find a way to make sure future deals are legit with other people. And realize that this person just made themselve's worse than you. At least you did you side of the deal!

I learn from life that trust is something who will not meet every day.
If somebody try to trick me...next time be sure that i lose all trust in him. Of course that is not fair..but what is fair in life? Almost nothing, people try to lie every step to dump you, this is life

The first thing you should do is delete him as a friend, if you haven't already. Friends don't make conditions, they trust each other. You can't trust this guy now, so he isn't a friend. I may be cynical, but I think most people only make friends requests to get you to join referrals. I only accept a friend request after reading some of their responses and checking their profile page to see if we have anything in common. Despite this, someone who said he couldn't write articles has just sent me a long email trying to join me up to his referral. He's history now. None of us joined mylot to be taken advantage of, did we? If you have any more problems, report him. Don't waste any more time worrying about this person. He is not nice enough to intrude into your life.
