While being online today, I received this notification from Facebook and find it interesting. It is all about payment from this social media. Out of curiosity, I checked it and no payment was seen. It seems like they are creating an option to earn from it. I am so puzzled if we can earn using Facebook. What do you think? Am I missing something? Did you receive this kind of notification?

Oh! Earning from Facebook... That's an interesting news but hard to believe. With such a huge pool of users there I am not sure how they will do this. Paying millions across world

Long time back there was a payment site which was operating from Facebook. That was a genuine site and paid through PayPal. Number of members from mylot were its members. Regular discussions were made here regarding the site.

Uhm, I did not know that this one is existing. I am sure it is a good site to earn some money. Do you think other sites that operate like this at present?

@Shavkat I believe that is not real. The only way to earn anything on there is to come up with things you want to sell and ask people if interested. I never knew that Facebook would do something to help us earn anything.

It might be a scam. I haven't heard that Facebook sends you payment notifications.

I guess it is a pure scam. It is also my first time to experience this, too.

Well there are a lot of people that is already earning from FB but you should be aware there are a lot of scam plots that looke legit. So if you didn’t do subscribe to anything and you received thia kind of messages then l guess that is suspicious already.

I haven´t received anything. But as I am fune with payments through Paypal, I don´t read those. In fact, once in a while Paypal writes me a mail telling me that I should check a problem and to open my account from there. I don´t do it.

I also do the same thing. Even I received a message from Paypal, I open directly to its site instead of using the links on emails.

No. Seems a bit dodgy if you've no idea where it is from. I don't get any messages from facebook apart from normal notifications.

I find it weird that I received this notification. It seems a scammer is trying to steal something from me It appears that they are having an experiment on how to get personal information of a user, which happens in emails nowadays. It is like a bait to scam other people.
