CJBucks - Is this typical??

I'm curious what others think about CJBucks and/or if they've had experiences like this with CJBucks or other sponsors.

I've known about them for awhile now, but because of getting gallery spammed and email spam for their sites I've never considered promoting them. However, I recently got some submitted galleries and the content was great. I figured I could make some good sales from at least one of their sites so I signed up to the site for a month to check it out and grab some content for promoting. I download a bunch and then forget about it for a few days.

After a couple days, I start getting 10-20 spam emails a day for other porn sites using the email address I signed up with. That email address never existed until I signed up and it's pretty unique so I know it's someone in their company or they sold the email to someone else.

Anyway, I go back a week or two later to grab some content as I'm going to start making some promos. I can't login anymore. I write them and never hear back so I cancel the membership... Should have done a chargeback frankly.

Is this standard practice for porn sites these days?

I mean really. If this is what happens to the typical porn purchaser it's no wonder it's harder and harder to get them to buy and stay a member.
