I just read a task at mylot and be afraid to read the moto of the task creator. I am going to submit a complaint against it to the authority. Here is the task: "Create a yahoomail account raj_gupta (46) 1 hour ago Hi everyone. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION BEFORE STARTING THE TASK. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONFUSION, DON'T ATTEMPT AS IT WILL BE CHECKED STRICTLY. 1. Create a yahoomail account. REMEMBER: - The name should be real name and not just a random series of characters and/or digits. - Username should not be a random series. - You should not use that mail id for anything - no mails, no chats before of after submitting tit to me. THIS IS IMPORTANT: DON'T USE COPY PASTE FOR FILLING ANY FIELD WHILE REGISTRATION. TYPE EACH AND EVERY FIELD. USERNAME: .................... PASSWORD:........................... web Reward: $0.08 Expires in 7 days Time Allotted: 1 hour !"" So members just imagine. For getting $0.08 we have to give the password to the task creator and in turn he will use it as per his choice and the outcome may not be good. I also think the mylot authority should check such tasks before lacing it in the site.

Dangerous, indeed. Although there are work-arounds to this yahoomail task, I think some people could be trapped into sharing their personal details. And for what, for a few measly cents? Be wary of sharing personal details to people you don't know, Facebook username included.

Yes, those who will accept the task and submit it they are not only giving a chance to be misused they are giving their personal details. In facebook, twitter all our personal details are not given. But as you have mentioned people could e trapped.

Yes, the task is helpful for earning and a good % of my earning in mylot comes from task. But I always read the contents carefully, after that I accept the task.

Hi Yeah I agree with you, Mylot admin should check and review them thoroghly before opening them up for public. The task that you mentioned is surely a hazardous task to complete, because the creator of task can use it for some dangerous mission like terrorist activities, or for sending e-mail to own responsibility after carrying out bomb blasts.

amirev777, thats why I report to mylot authority and they deleted it. But if the authority checked it before publishing a task the members will be helped. And by using email he can do many thing which will make our life a hell.

Yes, we should be careful enough to refrain ourselves from such task. Though, I am serious enough while providing personal information in any one.
