I know we are working on one or many sites online to earn some extra money. To reach so called our Payout every month we put our effort doing or performing all the activities that are required to do. Suppose the site we are working on is good paying site and suddenly one fine day it stop paying their member the Payout they are suppose to get? Under such circumstances what will be your reaction? I know each one will their own reaction under such circumstances, can you share the same here.

I have been a member for 5 years in a social site that pays. But last year the site started to pay its members very slow. There are many members who are waiting for their payment (including me) for many months before we received our payment. The moment I received my payment, I left the site- it's sad really.

The amount paid by an honest site, even, depends on the income it gets. In a recession this is bound to go down. Don't complain if you don't get quite what you expect from, e.g, Mylot.

I will sure lose my faith and confidence in earning online, but no matter what I will carry on what I do, because online earning is my hobby.

That's the spirit one should have and since earning online is hobby I am sure you and me will not mind if such things do happen. But god forbid it should not happen in case of reputed sites.

Friend wongchoiyee my opinion is also same my trust and confidence both are loose and never join next site for earning money. I have experience of speakasia my lots of friends loose their money in this site but I was not interested to invest the money and luckily I not loosed my money. Like mylot without investment earning then if this site is stop paying then no problem because here only we are spending time not money but if invest money and stop paying means not good.

Not only you I am sure everyone will try to find another site online where they can earn something. Surekharani it is always safe to work on the site like Mylot and some other where we don't have to pay joining fees other wise it would have been double lost (I mean to say earning plus joining fee paid)

Well, I am disappointed if that will happen. I experience that thing with one of the so called good site and they pay me every 2nd day of the month. But they suddenly stop paying and still my request is pending into their website. I don't know reason for this but I know they earn more and more day by day because the site have a good standing online.

Maybe that is one reason, friend. Sometimes admin, do something to make their site, to have a good reputation but we can't avoid being out of trust with those sites if they pay us

a pleasant day sriroshan, if that instance happened, i guess, i would stop doing online work for a while, maybe a day or two is enough to reminisce or review what other things i can do online. or maybe its time for me to look for more site wherein i can earn. perhaps, it will be a moment to check other sites where i can earn decent incomes. but i won't stop working online, as this is one of my hobby.

I know there are many people who works online just to kill their time but at the same time they want to earn also. It is nice not to leave working if one site stop paying since there are many other sites available on net where we can make money from.

When I was still new, I would feel very dejected and angry that I had been cheated. But when I am getting more experienced, a legit site that turned into a scam site out of a sudden is something that I had expected. So I would hardly be affected by the change. I would just take the site off my work and move on to another site. I know it will happen again. It is just a matter of when. But I will just stay calm. In Internet, it is common NOT getting paid for your work. So whoever wants to work online, be prepared for it.

You are when we are new on internet and after putting our time and effort suddenly when we are about to get paid we are not being paid surely we will feel bad and also get hurt. But as time goes with our experience we become alert and very choosy in selecting the correct site.

Although to a certain extent, there are some supposedly better reputable sites that are safer for us to work in, we have to remember that it is those supposedly better reputable sites that will hurt the most when they become scam as those sites would have more members and more money invested in there. There are NO correct sites. Those sites come and go as they wish. There is no law to govern them. We as a user just have to be ready for any eventualities. Never trust any sites 100%.

for me, I'll probably try to find out what happened from their system. Ask the management what problem occur and as they give their answers if it's valid, that's the time to you decide whether to continue or not I think that's the practical thing to do. Initial reaction is " why? what happen?" try to look for answers first before thinking a lot of things at hand for sure the management has a reasonable standards for doing so :) Enjoy!

Yes it is always better to find out the solution on the problem then just sit on it. Every problem have got it own solution as such.

I have stopped trying to earn money on these kinds of sites. This is the only site I use that pays in money. The only other earning sites I really use is Swagbucks and Wishwall. I'm not much of an article-writing person, but I know that is a good way to earn online as well. I have really been hoping that I'll find the time to really try that out. I remember when I tried Lockers. That was a scam site that stopped paying users. It was ridiculous. I'm glad I didn't spend a whole lot of my time on that, but I spent too much. I just quit the site and went on with my life. Like I said, already wasted too much time.

Nice sharing your views. And I am sure not you but all those working on Mylot will give their first preference and will enjoy working on Mylot as they have the confidence that they will get paid. That's the main reason we see so many people spend their time here. Happy earning my friend

I f that ever happened tome, i would be very upset, especially when I had worked to et the payout, and then couldn't for one reason or another. I am very leery of joining any new sites that I don't know anything about, because of all the scams out there. Fortunately for me, the sties I am a member of, have been around for a long time, and have been paying me everytime I rached payout. sites come and go all the time though, so it is hard to know from one day to the next if the site will still be there or not. Take care,a nd have fun mylotting.

My friend it not only you will get upset but I am sure every one will get upset and sad also thinking about the wrong decision they have taken joining such scam sites.

Of course, I would feel really bad about it. What if I was earning more than the minimum payout each time? It would be a great loss. But, I can't do anything about it, right? Might as well just find another good paying site....I hope this doesn't happen, though.

Yes you are correct we can't do anything even when we know it is against Cyber law. We just go on searching another site to earn some extra money.

If that happen, I'll lose hope on all earning sites. And If I reached $9.5 and mylot stop paying, I'll be pissed and put my anger on some one else. Hope that never happen to mylot site because we are not being paid for free. We are putting our best efforts to this site.

Hey don't think such a bad thing about Mylot, This site is really good paying site and will have to pray to god for it long lasting survivor.

If the site that I was working on stopped paying, I would definitely stop working with them and I would learn what to check next time Idecide to join a site. Every bad deal in online and offline jobs gives us experience. Then I would make sure to let everyone know that the site became a scam so that they don't put effort and time on it. I would post about this on the forums that I participate and of course I would write about it in mylot to let my friends here know that they should avoid it.

You are right and keep in mind experience always count. As we spend the time on Internet we learn many things good as well as bad things too, same way we come to which is good site and which one is scam site.

I experience that. I think they run out of money for payout and it turns out to be scam. At first they will pay and then after days they are gone. Be careful and choose sites that really pay.

But my friend it is not easy to choose the site in the beginning but we realized the site is scam only after some days and not on the initial stage as such

Actually it already happened to me.. I was waiting for my payout then suddenly when I was logging in to the site I was banned. My account has been banned by them., I was so angry I sent email to them telling my side.. I hated that site.. I have been working really hard to reach my payout then out of nowhere they just banned me., anyways I just move on and now I am fine.. I see to it that I am more careful now with the sites I'm joining..

At first I will be disappointed but then I will ask for some opinions from my friends or the people from the same site. It is better to research first before we judge. The site might be experiencing some technical problems doing their payout. You can definitely raise your concern in their admin site. Hoe this helps. Thanks and have a nice day.

The best things one should do is not to jump and join any new sites that comes on internet until you receive the review about the site you are going to work on it.

Same has happened with me recently. I was working in one of the sites. They paid me twice, but i have not seen the payment in my bin yet and the next day i log in to it i cannot log in my account. I am still trying to understand what has gone wrong where. I have sent a recovery mail hoping to get my account or if i have lost my password get that back.

Such things are common in many cases even I had reached to my payout and then redeem my payout also, waited for my payment for almost one month. Then I wrote them asking when they will released my payment and you know what has happen? They locked my account and I could not even log into it again. I lost around $45

I have been in a situation like that before. But you have to remember, any kind of business can close down at any time. It doesn't matter if it is online or a brick and mortar store. The main problem with online sites is that I see more often sites going out rather then not paying. Like they are there one day and the next day they are offline and gone for good. That has happened to me me quite a few times already.

Superpoints had closed down with no warning, I think a lot of people lost out on money there and they were paying out well for a while. Beezag also closed down although they gave a few months warning before they closed down so you could cash out your account.

There was some incident for me in my life. We people can't do anything at find. I find it is my hard luck to appear in such a situations. Past is past and i am in my hope that, nothing like the same incident happen again.

Hi dear, It is usual experience that many of site gives very lucrative offers for online income. But after giving one or two pay outs they stop paying payouts. This act on the part of site falls under cyber crime. It is an offence. But, we do not know their whereabouts therefore many of the people do not prosecute them. But, ultimately because of this people have lost faith on online income sites. My suggestion is that sites where you have to pay money for registration, should get registered in those site without making proper agreement or simply avoid to get registered with those sites investing money.

Yes you are correct it is crime under cyber act and they knows very well for sake of $20 or $50 nobody will lodge the complaint against them. Secondly we don't know from where they are operating also. So what we do just sit cool doing nothing.

sriroshan, Well won't that just tick you off. Working the sites online to earn that little extra every month can be very time consuming and sometimes furstarting. I think if the site promised a pay out and didn't deliver I would leave the site. There's a lot of other sites that you can make money on.

I agree with you and I am sure like you even I will do the same things. Earning online is not bread and butter but I just work online part time and will happy to earn from what I am doing. If they stop paying then you have answered it what will be the next.
