This is my honest review of the service I received from the OP.

Before I will go to my story let me start with saying I'm a typical bad forum leech (I don't contribute). I buy 'things'... and I think there's no reason for other buyers to go through the journey I did (unless they really want to).

Do it for laughs guys, not for business, the experience is extraordinary and one you will remember.

My dealings with Craig started last year.
I negotiated a deal for two tubes, worth $x,xxx which was totally fine by me at the time.

Funny things started almost immediately with him rushing the payment, but not being able to take it.
He suggested doing a wire to his girlfriend's bank account.

That alone should be a show stopper, but then I was in a really good mood (around same time I bought some decent premium sites and a whole network, all of GFY), so I was like - fuck it, I'm going to give it a go as the deal sat well within my monthly trial/error budget.

I did my checks. I wanted to find out whether his girlfriend actually existed. LinkedIn wasn't of help at all, then I thought maybe she was too young for it, so I tried Facebook. Bingo.
She was for real, and together they were really nice couple.

Her surname told me of her family roots (I have the very same).
Then I had this thought where I started to swear at the guy (all in my mind), as I couldn't believe how one could be that irresponsible.
How could one provide all details of his girlfriend to a person he didn't know, then I don't know american taxes - not a thing, but his actions could put her in a very awkward situation with the IRS.

Anyway, I thought if you are that stupid, I hope you will deliver everything you promise as surely you do consider the fact that if something goes wrong I will try to get my money back and that I may want to chose to contact the girlfriend.

I was praying the guy was for real.

Anyway...
I paid as agreed, they received the money, all was cool.

Craig (the guy), came up with server requirements and only then it was clear he needed a dedicated box with cpanel and with number of packages installed, nothing shady, some stuff required for streaming and all that.

It was a bit too high as per my personal expertise but as he was promising 20k a day per site I was cool with it.
He asked and on the same afternoon I bought another box just for him, with the specs he requested (all packages installed).

He also suggested a theme for domain names, and suggested 10 good ones, they were good according to this expert, so I bought all of them (not a problem, can be used for anything). At the end we went with one of the domains he suggested and with one of my niche premium domains. He didn't like it, while it was cool by me as every click on my niche is worth 5 times worth general, so I was able to deal with only half of the traffic that will end up on the general site (all domains he suggested had xnxx somewhere).

After I paid for the service and delivered everything that was requested from me I decided to wait and to give the guy a chance to deliver the goods.

I wasn't expecting wonders but I was expecting something more than just plain installation of automagick.com - I have nothing against the tool, I just don't know it.

At that point I started to be disappointed a bit and started to chat to the guy less often.

I was asking questions however; Craig was calming me down every time I had a query, he was saying that things are going well, he was trying to explain sites indexation and sandbox to me, then I'm like.. I don't really give a shit about this, I'm buying a service that delivers sites and traffic and I was promised exact volumes by exact days while not much was happening .

This guy started to be excited at some point and suggested adding banners here and there and then I checked the volumes and there was less than 500 visits a day on one (AWStats) and less than 10 (ten) visits a day on another one.
It was same week I bought nice (under 100k Alexa) fake tube.

I told him I preferred to wait. His tone was always very educational, he was explaining to me more than once how to earn money, how to be smart about things and how things work in general.
I showed him a number of my sites with their Alexa ranks to tell him mind your own business, stop being a teacher and deliver your part of the deal...

Some months ago I started to ignore him completely.

The guy is young (nothing against being young) and he lacks experience.

He positions himself like he was a guru (it does work for some), he tells things, but does not much more than talking.

He can put some sites together (both sites he did for me look same - just different logos), but that's it.
He is not successful at what he offers therefore it doesn't make sense to use any of his services.

The worst thing is (I'm a bit jealous of this) he lives his life like every day was his last one (it's a great attitude), however his fault is, he ignores the fact that time passes slowly day by day, week after week and the same applies to months and then clients that he promised things will be there asking.

Do not order anything from this guy, he has some terrible attitude, he lacks experience, he may sound intelligent (he might be) while he is stupid at the same time (my personal opinion).
He is also in a position to bring a lot of trouble (casually) to himself and ones he loves (his girlfriend - hope this has changed now!).

He is an ignorant (by choice) and therefore in my personal position should be ignored by people with money.

Unless you are looking for circus like experience then take paying him like paying for a comedy show ticket (the guy is unique).
If the money you want to use come from your investment pile, stay away from this kid.

That's it.
