too good to be true

Read But Don't Be Influenced

I am surprised how mylot intelligence squad fail to detect certain discussions that took advantage of this site in promoting their online earnings by their clever twist of words to make it sound legal and captivating. No link was posted but was asked to pm the OP for the link. Fine with that as there is no link posted but what is disturbing is that the link given by the OP is a scam site and he is talking about earning good money from the site to the tune of over thousand per month. He is not only fabricating his story on his online income but trapping others into believing him just to get referrals for his own benefits. This kind of 'too good to be true' story is slowly making its appearances in mylot. Have you notice it? Are you easily influence by what you read here?

I do not join these opportunities that are too good to be true. I also enter discussions about them and state what I believe, which is usually that they are false. People want to believe this stuff anyway. I am sorry it happens, but they are grown ups here and should not spend money that they cannot afford to lose.

Writing out the amount earned is only showing that he is trying to lure others to his trap.

The fear of virus attack can be a blessing in disguise as you won't be easily influenced by the great talk of big money on online earning.

zandi458 thats downright awful, and I really think mylot admins should do some careful looking at this. to deliberately lead people on here who may be vulnerable into getting scammed thats'xrong and sick to me. Some people here who are desperately in need of money will see that thousand a month and get scammed. my lot admins needs to be aware of this, of course private messages bypass mylot scrutiny but this is dreadful Zandi in my estimation. Yes I have noticed it come to think of it, I am too old and now too wise to be easily influenced by too good to be true stories now. wow had they posted a link mylot admins would have caught it. wiley critters arent they?

[b]too old and now too wise to be easily influenced/b] it is people like us that these scammers can't influence. But a discussion like can attract many young mylotters who in their eagerness to earn money online fall easily for this type of attractive income. If the post wasn't deleted it will further reaffirm that it is true and alright to join.

Sorry Hatley, the bold print was supposed to be on the first line only but I don't know why the whole comments went bold.

That's a shame he is allowed to to do. Sounds like he is full of hot air to me. People can be so naive & that's too bad anyone is believing that 'turkey'. no, to be honest i haven't seen anybody doing this. No, i am not influenced by much of anything. lol.

It's our choice to investigate before we get involved in any money making site. In my case, I try and check if they pay. I only maintain those which really pay. When I discover that a site is scam, I immediately stop from making any further transactions.

Yes, you are on the right tract to do a little investigation before joining money making site. Many turned scam as fast as they appear online.

The name is as it is.. too good to be true. If I find a site to be that, I'd rather not join to find out. But even if I do join, I doubt I'll have time to participate, because I'm busy with work and I can only afford to sacrifice my time myLotting for now.. and enjoying it much..

It was quite convincing as many of the responders were requesting for the link not until one came back and spoil the whole scenario telling everyone that the site is a scam site which she has formerly been a member and never got paid.

i have seen posts like this kind and it really annoys me sometimes. most of the time, i ignore them and never respond to. i thought that there could be some violations in the post and i also experienced receiving pm with links. and i also ignore them when i get them. i never got bothered when i get them because i always delete.

Oh no, I just joined and you're saying MyLot is starting to slowly get tainted by scammers? :( It's okay though I think. From reading the articles people post here I can tell most of the MyLotters are careful and smart. I just hope it doesn't bring bad rep to this site as it is slowly growing nearer and dearer to my heart. :) Thanks for the report, Zandi! And be careful MyLotters!

I read some discussions that waaaayyyyy out there but I either delete it or question it. If I question it, I get no more replies. Too bad some have to make things up to be on mylot.

Just move on as we know the modus operandi of some people who are only trying to draw others attention for personal gain and they uses all kind of tactics including fabricating their stories to entice others to join them.

i never believe these sort of stories and claims. as someone who has been earning online for sometime now, i know that earning such money without hard work is nigh on impossible and the rare person who does succeed would be unlikely to freely share such information.

I agree with you that those who have tasted success in online earning will be sitting quietly enjoying his/her success. They will not broadcast it to the world.

As far as I am concerned, I think I have been influenced by others ,who has just say the similar as what you have said. I think it may be a good way for us to earn money by making a lot of referrals ,which can do a lot help to our earning. I think you will enjoy it so much. Though I have not got one yet, I think I may get some in the future.Have a nic eday.

The only way to make it success in online earning is having lots of referrals but again it depends on how legit the site is.

zandi458, I just have to say that there are quite a number of these floating around and they could actually continue with their posts till today. There are some that will go on ends and post several similar threads within a day. It is just annoying and hogging bandwidth here. I just wish that the administrators here could catch up with these errant members.

Unfortunately we meet opportunist everywhere be it in real world or in the cyberworld. It is alright if they are telling the truth. Many of us here are experienced people and can read between lines that all what is written are glaring lies that is only trying to undermine others intelligence.

I used to believe on those things. But after about two years of find my way to earn online, I have discovered that there is no quick way in doing so. It requires effort and knowledge as well as being consistent in what we do. So, I really do not believe on them and neither am I influence by what they say. Most especially if they say its a quick way to earn money online. Considering that there is never a fast way to earn big money online.

If it has been easy earning online many would have been millionaires today. It is easier said than done as many have been left poorer after entering into online earning. Time and money are wasted because many sites turned out scam.

I am very cautious when I see something like that, and I don't sign up under anyone like that either. I know what they are doing, and if I don't know a thing about the site, then I am certainly skeptical. I have been scammed many times, and I won't let it happen again. I don't think there is anything wrong with being skeptical either, mas I am being more cautious, and we all need to do that, so as not to get roped into something we might regret later. Unless I know about the site, have seen others say they have made money from it, or I am doing it myself, I certainly won't bother. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Experienced have taught us to be more careful when it comes to online earnings. There are too many fly by night scam sites who are only out to scam unsuspecting people.

Oh I know who you're referring to.

I just visited his discussion this afternoon, and I noticed that he really got myLotters going. Most of them are newbies as well, and I feel sorry for them. Every responder added him as friend just so they would receive the link. One of the responders even commented on him saying that the link he gave is a scam.

I don't know whether it is the same but hopefully many won't fall victims.
