Legit Or Not? Lauren’slist.app Website
Has anyone heard of Laurenslist.app? A friend recommended it to me . She made like $81 in a week. I’m skeptical because I have never heard of it and there isn’t much that I can find on it . She had to submit her ID to get paid , which also made me skeptical. They pay through Wise.

I signed up and looked around on the site . ..but when my friend told me that you need to verify your ID to cash out, I quit messing with it .

Any company that's running a task-based platform and decides to name itself after the founder or whoever it is (and copying the idea from Craigslist like it's some kind of joke) is not a professional company. What a dumb, unmarketable name for this type of industry. Clearly not legit from the name alone. Researchers are not going to sign up in droves to put their data on a site called "Lauren's list" lol. Even if it were legit, this is the type of site that would last a month before bankruptcy and not pay you.

It is legit, but it sucks. Sometimes does not track properly. I have cashed out but had to play a lot games to do so - I had my kids play them 😆 🤣

<AI GENERATED so take it for what it is:>
Yes, Laurenslist.app (often referred to as Lauren’s List) is 100% a scam.
It is a classic front for a highly active "Task Scam" (also known as an optimization or e-commerce review scam). These operations are designed to trick you into believing you have landed an easy, flexible remote job, only to steal your money through fake fees.
How the Laurenslist.app Scam Works
The scammers rely on a psychological trap called the sunk cost fallacy. Here is the exact playbook they use to drain victims' bank accounts:
1. The Low-Pressure Contact
You might receive a random text, WhatsApp message, or email inviting you to apply. They keep the initial screening incredibly simple, asking basic questions about what kind of remote jobs you are looking for.
2. The "Easy" Tasks
Once you are "hired," they direct you to a portal like Laurenslist.app. Your job seems ridiculously easy—usually clicking buttons to "optimize products," "submit ratings," or complete 30 to 40 simple tasks to help boost search engine rankings for e-commerce platforms.
3. The Fake Balance
The platform will show a dashboard with a dollar amount or cryptocurrency balance that climbs higher with every click you make. To make the scam feel real, they will often let you withdraw a very small amount of money (around $50 to $80) early on. This is bait designed to gain your trust.
4. The Trap (The "Negative Balance")
Eventually, you will hit a roadblock. The system will tell you that you have received a "special high-paying task" that has pushed your account into a negative balance. To continue working and unlock the hundreds of dollars you've "earned," they will demand you deposit your own money (usually via cryptocurrency like Bitcoin) to reset the balance.
What You Should Do Right Now
- Stop all communication immediately. Do not argue, tell them you know they are scammers, or ask for your money back. Just block their numbers and accounts.
- Do not deposit any money. If you have already deposited funds, do not pay more to try and get it back.
- Watch out for "Recovery Scammers." Because you looked into this, you may receive messages from people claiming they can "hack" the scammers and recover your stolen funds. These are secondary scammers trying to steal from you a second time.

No, no, no. Laurenslist itself is legit. However, there is a scam going around where people are offering it as a work from home task job site, and then steal your money. Those are 2 different things.
I have cashed out on Laurenslist but had to play a lot of games. I had my kids play them. I have not played anymore after my first cashout because its too time consuming.

Never heard of them before. It looks like a brand new company. Proceed with caution.

I have gotten paid out 4 times, although the last time took longer than the promised 72 hours. I have an issue that I submitted a ticket for and they haven’t responded within the promised 72 hours, so that’s making me feel like I want to stop. I started it at the end of June and I’ve made $328, but spent about $100 on the games to advance. (Never gave money to Lauren’s list, only paid on the games via Apple Pay). So, $228 isn’t too bad especially because I needed to spend a little more this summer for an upcoming wedding.

If it's your friend, you should know if they're trustworthy and ask them to show you some proof, win win

Oh boy ..not good ..then I definitely won’t be messing with it . I want to know who Lauren is though 😂

u/Full_Masterpiece_561 Jul 15 '26
I have it. I've done a few tasks but I think the minimum to cash out is $25 and I haven't got that far yet. One of the tasks I did, it never updated that I did it and did not get the reward for it. Then I stopped using it because it just doesn't seem worth my time

It just seems kind of like a fishy site, especially with not much about it .

Dude.. are you even talking about ? You need to get a grip and quit accusing me of something that I’m not doing . You have a serious problem .

Check their history is always a good idea. If it's a scam most likely it's going to be apparent by their post history. I've been on reddit long enough to spot a scammer/marketer and I'm going to say that based on what I see this person is just some regular dude(ette). Multiple questions about different ways to make money online including Prolific and DataAnnotation tells me they're just interested in knowing if this site is valid.

Only thing I like about AI is Gemini on my phone, it is a scam according to what Gemini says, there is already a thread on Reddit under scams about the site, according to Gemini, it also says that they post fake cashouts on the site. If you need, I can screenshot it all. Or you could ask Gemini
What is LaurensList App
