I'm not banned, I just have a PR0. I also had a good friend experience the EXACT same thing and I've heard a few other people mention similar experiences, as well.
If you're considering submitting to link dumps, do it with domains you don't care about. If they have PR, forget it. It's not worth the risk.

External links that go to your site can NEVER do any harm, google does NOT ban you for it (btw, PR0 means your domain is burned if you had PR before, remove all spam pages and try a reinclusion request) for a simple reasons: Competitors could use links to you to kick your sites and that's something google doesn't want.
I know, many people claim it may hurt, but it doesn't, there are many ways to burn a domain, but submitting to linkdumps isn't one for sure.
The other way, by linking to "bad neighbourhood" sites, you can get kicked fast.
