The saddest part is that a lot of people DO believe in this kind of stuff. This is how people get scammed. They get so excited to finally see something where they can make tons of money with little work, and their excitement and glee overpowers their sense of rationality. This is not good. We all want to believe in instant gratification, but in reality, it's just not.. the case. We have to work for everything we make, probably harder than we would if we just had a normal, 9-5 job. And that's the truth. But a lot of people don't seem to understand that, and it's something they need to learn through first-hand experience, I guess. I've honestly never been scammed in the way that many people on MyLot have, but that's because right from the get-go, I've taken extra precautions just to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen.

hi firebirdlizant, I guessed the scam or so called quick get rich scheme are there because most people are greedy for money.Either we want it badly or not,its the MONEY which are the main attraction. Those scammers/con men are professionals who knows people's mind and that's where they aimed for.If they can conned one person out of a hundred,they're already make big bucks, better than us here in mylot.No matter how careful we are,someday someone will fall in the trap.And that's too bad.

There are all kinds of scams and money making schemes that look so good to people. Older folks that don't any better go for them and lose big. It is really sad. Alot of them are threads from the same company. Alot of people are making big money at it. Takes very little to start and is very lucritive.

Everything exists for its own sake. And I guess we might be among these people though we may temporarily escape from it once, twice or more times. As long as there is greedy, some people would be hooked.
