Is Cash Gopher A Scam?
The newest free to sign up for program to make money on the internet Cash Gopher was released to the public on September 1st and is creating a huge buzz on whether it is a legitimate program. The answer is YES! This IS a legitimate program run by a trusted company.
The Company Behind Cash Gopher
The program was created by a company doing business as MyLot.com. The MyLot domain has been around since 2004 and they are an American company with contact information in Overland Park, Kansas. As of September 1st, 2010 their MyLot.com website had just over 210,000 members.Their main site is similar to other social networking sites except they have a focus on making money from doing different tasks you already do online, like searching, posting links, taking surveys and other tasks that advertisers are willing to pay people for.
The CashGopher program is no different. It pays you for doing simple things like viewing advertisements and visiting websites. What people are most concerned about is that the Cash Gopher program requires you to download a piece of software that runs on your PC.
The CashGopher Software
While this is a red flag to many people, what the Cash Gopher software does is use cookies to determine searches and pages that you access and data about your computer like connection speed, ip address and geographic location. All this in a effort to serve the most relevant ads to potential customers. While having to download CashGopher software makes most people very uncomfortable, it is no different than what huge websites that you visit everyday attempt to do when you search for a page or click on one the links in their search engines.
So most of the ‘chores’ that Cash Gopher does are pretty standard practice and are not dangerous to your computer or your privacy. Let’s face it, if they were going to steal your information or hack your computer would they tell you they were going to install software on your computer?
In addition, most of the Cash Gopher software’s functions are designed to run when you’re away from the computer. Hence their slogan “Make Money Doing Nothing”. So you probably won’t notice it as much as you would think. However if it does slow down your computer or you don’t like the program for any reason you can easily uninstall the Cash Gopher program and remove it completely. If you can stand the pop up ads you can make money with the Cash Gopher software.
Getting Paid From The Cash Gopher Program
While you can “Make Money Doing Nothing” you can make a lot more by referring others into the program. The Cash Gopher referral program claims to offer users 25% of earnings created by their downline. You can request a payment once you have made $10 and at this time payment is sent using PayPal.
Is Cash Gopher Legitimate Or Not?
You tell me! This CashGopher program is just days old so I’d like to hear about any experiences people have had with them. Any problems you have had with the Cash Gopher software, the referral program, payments, the website control panel or positive experiences you have had with the Cash Gopher program please post them in the comment section below this article.

“You promised that CashGopher will not change the ads on the browsers, but today I saw weired issue.
I was writting a blog and found some ads codes from geoads appeared automatically. I know cash gopher is tied up with geo ads.
Please fix the issue as the same is a trouble and can cause bad impact to the goodwill.”
This is what I written to MyLot team. Its started placing auto ads while writting blogs.
Now you decide…Good or Bad…
Ii am more than 1 week at cash gopher. I got 1 referral but still my earnung is ZERO! I still do not understand why! Please help.
I have up to $9.20 since October, but I am very hessitant, because it says that I have to fill out a W-9, before I get paid and that includes my social security number. I don’t like putting my ss# out to just anyone and I want to know if it is legit or not. Could anyone help me? Thanks.
All you do is go into one of those Account Inforamtion tabs, click NO! You are not a US citizen and thats it
Great tips, it may seem a little simple, but simplicity is nice and effective.Thanks…..

This website and its software is a scam. It infected my laptop with multiple trojans, installed svchost.exe that killed my CPU process, and did damage to my laptop that cost about $400 in repair at my local best buy geek squad.
I absolutely HATE it! It interrupts me all the time! Carol S cstrickland27@gmail.com
How can I get rid of it? Carol
I see so many people using those platforms why are you loosing time on that??
I am using this one
http://abbuono.de/?bettler=frankbackes
and it took a little time at the beginning but as soon you have more than 6 refs I started making arround 3 € a day. A little tip. when you open an account on the link above, you get 5 € as starting welcome gift, but they say that it’s only a limited time offer so can’t promise that in a few months from here they still offer that for newcommers. You get also 1,5 € per new user.
The bad side on all that is that you have to spend time on it about 50 minutes a day.
And if you want to user the money you have on the account (rember the 5 € bonus you get at start) just buy some adds to make publicity for your referal or for your homepage or company or what ever.
This is between all I have ever tested the best-one.
I want to be honest with you, the link above is a referal link, means that when you click on it I get already some money (you will have the same when you open an account there) and when you create an account there over that referal, then I get a bonus over 5 levels of referal, so why should you waste your subscription and offer it to that company, just sign up over my link so at leasst I can if you have problems to start offer you a few of my refs (of course I will not give you my highrated but still some good)
So goo for it here the link again so you don’t need to scroll up:
http://abbuono.de/?bettler=frankbackes
I hope I could convince you, you will love it believe me!
And I forgot to say that those who register over my reflink, and are refing other people and are successfull (I can see that in my statistics, as you can do too) I will give them a certain percentage on my earnings proportional to theire success for me.
So go for it as I told you already with 6 refs in level 1 you can get 3 € a day (of course those must be active refs it does’t help to have inactive refs, but even if your ref only makes once his job, you earn already 10% of his earning and remember you have 5 levels of refs where you earn, means if you sign up over my link, you will be my first level ref if somebody signs up for you he will be my second ref and your first ref. The money that you earn from your refs is not taken from theire account but from the company that hosts that whole programm.
So have fun and trust me, there is nothing to install and there is no spyware, and you can even do it from your company, as they can’t block that site even not with bluecoat
Bye bye
Total scam – I had up to $8 and they just banned me yesterday (Feb 12, 2011) I have written MyLot and the FTC total BULLS__IT SCAM!! STAY AWAY!!
joined 4 weeks ago and all i have to say is absolutley amazing easy money just using my pc as i normally do !
HECK if the pop up ads bother you just click it off and cash gopher stays off and u browse the net as normal
howver if you been a meber of myspace and face book you get more ads thrown at you in a short time while on those monster social networks and U get paid ZERO dollars for your time and they make like $30 million a month from thier sponsors ! MY lot i also have been a member of and it’s harder to earn money with them because YOU actually have to type out replies and create discussions and the payout is a pittance and getting referrals to stay active in mylot is diffucult
with cash gopher i got 15 referralls in 3 weeks and they are doing as i told them and got thier own refrrallas and taught them how to get referrals ! THE best thing about CG is YOU dont have those riduculous 7 to 10 levels to fill to get more money it’s just single refrralls and 25% is huge additional money ! think about it get 15 referralls all make $10 thats $150 25% = $37.50 plus YOUR $10 = $47.50 which pays at laest 1 bill or buys food for family for two days !
PAm dear listen to me ! THE scammers are the ones who DONT ask you for SS #’s and TO Fillout a W9 form because they just ripyou off for whatever DO NOT pay taxes and when thier scam folds up they go make another one !
BE VERY LEERY of joining any site that YOU can join using any tom dick or juudy name anywhere in anytown in the world because they will just rip you off for more money than you can imagine your in more debt than before ! I been involved online biz for 12 years now and yeah i got robbed also but only 1 time for big money wound up getting after this crook and his whole group they are gone off line the biz was shut down and he is now being tried in federal court by the FTC for non payment on a guaranteed contract and also TAX evasion !
IF YOU wary of giving up your ss# and filling out a W9 form then go else where and kiss your online biz oppurtunites goodbye ! I also have an adsense account and other accounts where you make money from people clicking on ads on your blogs and websites EACH one requires me to send proff of identity to GET paid !
and Each one earns me about $150 a month
Cash Gopher is a total SCAM – I have contacted the FTC and have been writing blogs about them – I am also doing a YOUTUBE video – a total waste of human lives run this scam – they should be F__KING SHOT!!
this is billyzeke again got banned for abuse of thier software causing unnatural browsing activity and was on my way to my min payout set at $50 this would have been reached in march banned after 6 weeks time and 20 referrals gone
also read another report from some lady same thing happened to HER and we do not know how to hack software or cause harm to thier servers as quoted in thier policies !
Save your time people i feel YOU will not be paid also thier is no support at all e mailed them 12 times to request account be put back up because according to thier terams and policies stated when you join there is nothing there
about getting banned for abuse of software !
Pop ops everytime you go on a website… and you make about 2 cents in like a week. i can make more by going to my local park and picking up change.
Yes I have been paid also 10 dollars for doing nothing.If people don’t like it they can just uninstall it anytime.I don’t understand why people say it causes damage to their computer.
No it is not legit – if you have to give info like that out!! they are being investigated by the FTC – I will find the link and post it for you!!
It is a total scam – stay away!!
You are full of it! I have it installed on 5 desktops and 3 laptops and have not had 1 problem at all with it. Better think of what else you were doing to get those trojans on your laptop. As for you saying it is a scam, I have been getting paid by this scam. And what is with “installed svchost.exe that killed my CPU process, and did damage to my
laptop that cost about $400 in repair at my local best buy geek squad”? svchost.exe is a windows task, it is on all of my computers. Sounds like you dropped your laptop and want to blame everyone and everything else instead of facing up to your own blunders.
I have a lot of fear …. fear is a program CIA.alien
I received payment of $10 to my paypal …… took me approx 4 months to acheive but I got paid…..to let my computer run and make money while i sleep? you Bet !! …..avg for me is apptox 25 -50 cents a week to do nothing…..I dont get popups and stuff, maybe my anitvirus is too good …why pass on free money?
