After reading this thread I still decided to try craigspimp out, I did it for one day and am stopping. Really it was a try out to see if it could really work because the website can get you interested.
Basically, the first thing I noticed about Craigspimp being a scam is the initial promise to pay 10 cents per email, when in reality it was 6 cents. After seeing this I decided to drive on and still see what happens, after all, with good ads I can generate 1000's of emails.
So now, making ads and forwarding the responses to craigspimp, they get started right away to ewhore. This causes a problem because guys are smart and they get pissed off when they are being scammed, so they log back on to CL to flag your post. This sucks because one has to keep posting and posting to keep up with the flags, so there is too much work to keep up generating them leads. If CP wasn't doing this too quick, my posts would forever stick getting 1000's of emails. CP basically will blow up the spot right away, keeping you working.
On CL, there is a lot of people scamming and working for Craigspimp too, so a lot of the responses to my ads were fake or the same guy answering all the ads etc.. This will make CP only give credit for what they determine to be real responses. Understandable, expect to get over half washed out by their 'system' to determine that.
After a day of trying Craigspimp with three PVA's (just trial to see at first) I had to work the whole day to keep up with the flags, making new posts and getting images and stuff, I earned $6.50. When I pressed the 'get paid by Paypal' link, it said it would process my payment, but funny, they didn't have my Paypal info. In fact, there was no way to find a place in my profile to give my Paypal info. They don't even ask for that when you're signing up, it's all' "Sign up, make ads, get paid". But no place to give payment info, as far as I can tell. I'm not going to chase that $6.50 and make a big deal about it, he can hold that. I've since stopped sending referrals to them.
Craigspimp, in my opinion, is a waste of time. Granted, if you were able to set up a system with 100's of browsers open and posting ads in multiple cities, it can be assumed that you will get credited for 1000's of emails forwarded to CP and you can make 6 cents an email, which wouldn't be bad if it were automated. But the reality is they blow up your ads and you have to keep posting, which makes little money through CP, there's no momentum.
I don't know how yet or who would be interested, but I know I can post a really good ad with image and get damn near 1000 leads for each. With multiple cities maybe 10,000 email leads a day and growing, I would like to make lists like that and try to sell them somehow. Don't give your leads to CP, they could at least let your ad run for a few hours to let it stay alive to keep you from working so hard.
