Adult Friend Finder and Craigslist spam
 

Am I wasting my time reporting all the Adult Friend Finder spam when I place an ad on Craigslist, anyone know?

Here is your culprit most likely craigspimp.com

actually, i'll take credit for a bunch.. but not to AFF.... :thumbsup

yes, you are wasting your time... :2 cents:

hmm... a Craigslist spammer says I'm wasting my time. haha

i'm saying that because the sponsors dont give a shit.. so, they may term an aff code, but they will just set up a new one...

so, if you want to waste your time reporting, go ahead.. :2 cents:

oh, and btw i dont scrape and spam...

yes, you're wasting your time. they'll just keep plugging away. losing one account is just part of the game when it comes to spamming dating on classifieds. most are rotating offers/links, or have dozens of other options to fall back on in the event that they do get one account canned. you're not stopping anything.

exactly. they are not going to give a shit if you are spamming as long as it does not come back to them (i.e. CL filing suit against AFF).

Im willing to bet those people convert better and stay members for longer than people coming from a porn site

Is there still money in spamming craigslist? I know it used to be really good but the headaches of keeping ahead of the curve were getting more difficult.

Is it still worth the effort? Word on the street says no.

You really should read the article about the story with the company who went after a guy spamming them and won like a $700 million judgment. Sure it was facebook in this case and not craigslist but you can only poke a bear so many times before you piss it off enough to come after you.

he was hacking fb accounts...

big difference between that and ewhoring... :2 cents:

my facebook got hacked about a month ago now and fired off bizopp spam to my entire friends list. i assumed i got phished somehow, but i have no clue where as i'm usually pretty keen to those schemes. i'm all for these shitbag operations going down.when it comes to spam i'm not hating so bad, but when you're playing with cracking/hacking/phishing you deserve to eat a fat bag of dicks...
