I've been a MyLot-member for years--from near-the-beginning when I was 'trying to be a hacker like in the Jonny Lee Miller movie,' through their brief 'no money-sharing' period, to now when they started the money-program back up again.
MyLot IS NOT a "scam." They never "claim" the earnings are going to be ' Quid pro Quo (Do this much writing for that much money).'
