Bypassing CraigsList Phone Verification Systems guide?

[NCMedia]

Many people have used, and still use, and abuse - the CraigsList environment as affiliate marketers, direct sellers, spammers, link bait/juice etc...

With recent strict policy and phone verification it has become quite tough to automate this process, let alone even find people to do submissions for you manually etc.

This hot topic has been stirring up quite the buzz and it seems that those who figure out the automation and how to bypass the phone mechanisms will be sitting on a goldmine.

I'm hearing that calling cards and outsourcing verification is what the newest tactics are. Not sure if there are any scripts or actual ways to guarantee you don't get ghosted, however I do know that all the autoposters will now have another task and challenge in front of them in order to crack past the newest security features.

I find it funny how every time a radar is put up, a radar detector is quickly built, and then a radar detector detector is built, then a radar detector detecting radar detector detectors lol... and the cycle continues. I wonder - once the masses have tools to bypass this new feature - what will the next implementation be? Retina scans, manual approval, doing the hokypoky 3 times on cam before you submit...

Anyway - if anyone can shed any light on this or if you have any experience using the autoposters it would be great to hear your exp. with them so far please - and how you think this new security will par up with the hackers and crackers of our time.

Best,

Lets say you know someone who works for a IT company (like ariband), that runs VOIP for large corporations. Then with the PBX box at yours or someone else's control you can have access to a bunch of blocks of numbers, all with SMS capability, and then you are good to go, as you will only need to use this for the verification and never again.

Or you can setup your own dummy company and get your own Asterisk PBX box, then purchase a block of numbers, and do the same.

I know a few people who make tons of money on craigslist who are using this method for the phone verification, and if you make enough money then this would be simple to do.

Or you can setup your own Asterisk PBX box, get tons of blocks of numbers, then make a service where you sell them for people to bypass a $X per time or whatever, I'm sure if done right and if it is legal, you can make money this way.

Boobie slip! Nice nice!!

Thanks, now do you need a address to send her 2 ?

lol

And for anyone who does not know, Asterisk is open source. So if you have a old PC laying around you can get this setup in your own home, then you would just have to get the numbers.
