Kerry Simms of paintingcrew.net cannot be trusted.
I replied to his cragslist ad, he was looking for a new Ad to promote his company. He replied and said i was HIRED.
Upon sending mock-ups he replied and basically blew me off and stole the mock-ups and didn't pay for them.
He claimed that the mock-ups were bad. He Obviously stole them but played the fool like he didn't know that mock-ups are rough drafts. I have over 10 years of Graphic Design experience, i assure you i know what I'm doing.
The conversation can be seen below. Conversation is in reverse order (most recent message first, so start at the bottom.)
your work is trash BUT i will keep your free designs thanks alot

You said I was “hired.” You can't just hire me, poach my mockups and then go with someone else.
We had a verbal agreement of you accepting my rates for services rendered.

Hello,
It's been 24 hours since I sent you the mockups.
Make sure not to use them because they have a digital watermark.
Have you taken a look at them?
Thank you

How urgent is this Ad for you?
If you're not busy, I can have a couple mockups ready by late tonight or early tomorrow morning if that's okay.

Depending on how intricate you want the design, I can do it for 20-30 dollars.
Can you send me your previous Ad and what your new vision is?
Then maybe we can shake on this.
