Craigspimp Spammers

I recently was reviewing discussions on www.mylot.com, where I came upon a discussion regarding different ways to earn money on the Internet. A lot of the more common sites were brought up and critiqued. Some of the sites were PTC sites. These sites pay you to click on advertisement and apply for free trials. I am new to Internet earning and am very curious about new sites which pay for content. There are many legitmate sites that offer money for your writing or advise. Survey sites also offer compensation. However, I came upon a lady promoting a site that I have never heard of.

Out of curiosity, I googled the site she had mentioned, www.craigspimp.com. I was absolutely appalled by what I came across. The site promotes spamming, and is paying people to post fake ads on sale sites. They pay by e-mail received from the site. The rate is high and I can't believe this is real. The main sites targeted are www.craigslist.org and backdoor. I am very familiar with craigslist. I hadn't heard of backdoor until surfing this site. Both sites offer personal advertisements and dating listings.

Spamming is very popular on the Internet and I, along with most other Internet users, receive excessive spam mail on a daily basis. I am aware that many people are paid to do this. However, it doesn't make it an honorable way to earn money on the Internet. That is one of the issues we face when extra money is needed in the household. There are legitimate sites available, though the earnings may not always be consistent.

Spamming is a big issue on the Internet, but this site also has other questionable intent. The specific spam they are sending is for adult services. They claim their are other areas, but do not list any available openings. In most states, it is illegal to solicit adult services. A lot of questions came to my mind as I read the sites tutorials. Is it legal to send spam regarding adult services? Are these people requesting a fee, and do they respond to the e-mails directed into their account? I intend to further research this topic.

The methods of this site sounds very questionable. They offer your payment as cash in the mail. They have no information on irs w-9 tax forms for your earnings. They offer other payment options as well. The payment is based on how many responses come into various fictitious g-mail accounts. You are required to have a different account available for every city you post on. They suggested posting in over fifty cities to maximize your profits.

The cites available for posting all include account flagging. What this means that if somebody suspects a spammer or computer listing, they click a button to flag the account. If the account is flagged multiple times it will eventually be frozen or completely removed from the site.

Their response for this is changing IP addresses. They suggest using a dial-up internet service because you can log on to any number of available IP addresses. Cable modems also have this option. If your IP address is flagged to many times by one of the listed sites you may not be able to use that IP address to create any additional accounts.

They even offer tutorials and advise to your posting style. They want you to sound like a realistic woman seeking male company for casual encounters. They also want you to research the local areas of your posting and give hints as to where you are from. They want this to sound as realistic as possible.

When somebody replies to these postings they are giving these spammers access to thier e-mail address. It opens the doors for them to be sent additional spam mail and have their e-mail addresses sold to third party companies. This can happen to anybody who answers a post on the internet. It can often lead to hundreds of spam mail sent daily into your e-mail box.

Another issue is the legal aspect. Police have been trying to apprehend cite users advertising pay for service encounters since the personals section of these sites have become popular. Not only is it stopping people from legitimately seeting someone. It is making it more difficult for law enforcement to operate effectively. They make it difficult for law enforcement to recognize fiction from fact. This is allowing these acts to continue.

Their are laws in place to protect Internet users from spammers. They do not seem to be regularly enforced. Many loopholes are found in all laws. These topics need to be thoroughly discussed. Morally, people should not support sites that spam and promote adult material. Are these spammers violating any law?

    I have made money, but with a lot of frustration.

    One - is you can never get a hold of Bill
    Two - I dont think Im getting accurate conversions
    Three - Craigslsit is on top of the ads, they have a tendency to get flagged as fast as they post
    Four - I have 4 free sign ups and one sale and I have not been credited for these

    All in all you do not know until you try. You can make money but not a lot. I have found another sites referred to me from the craigspimp forum and have made more in a week with these than in a month with craigspimp. See the link below.
