Did you ever get a job from Craig's list ? Have you ever been scammed there ?

I replied to many job requests ,on 2 occasions I submitted some work ,but I wasn't paid for it . The first time ,I replied to a job request for transcription ,they sent me a rcording of an australian person with a heavy accent ,it took me a whole evening and lots of research to complete the 5 minute recording ,and I wasn't paid for all the trouble !
.The second one was a request for creative ideas especially ideas on the use of GPS ,I will paste the paper I sent to them and you TELL ME if I deserved to be payed or not :

Hi ,franciscan , good for you ! I applied to one offer where creative ideas were required , and it said they would only contact people with good ideas ; this is what I sent to them :
.#1- proximity detector in vehicle/storage area triggers 360/180 degree camera (antitheft) for anyone but owner .
#2-GPS in vehicles automatically lowers volume of stereo , horn near hospitals
#3-Potty training for indoor pets : urinating closes a circuit with ground (inside house ,wherever urinating not desired) triggering mild electric shock .
#4-Swimming pool water level ? children vs adult , awake vs incapacitated ? anti-drowning ,shallow water impact accident
#5-Ambience monitor = ambulant motion sensor protect privacy (anywhere)within (variable)perimeter , linked to cellphone (deaf people =linked to vibration)
#6- test of love = one partner records a keyword or phrase , a gift is sent locked ,accessed by repeating SAME word/phrase
#7- speech involves motion of many muscles in the mouth/larynx , Hypothesis : each vowel or consonant =specific combination of various degrees of various muscle contractions =electric field changes =recognisable =text (more accurate , economic than audio recognition ??)
#8-an optional on-board emergency solution for urine in vehicles for TRUCKERS ,LONG TRIPS (requiring the vehicle to stop) (although not very creative , should have been invented long time ago )
#9- the "connoisseur goggles" ,offering a more personal buying experience for discerning customers in supermarkets.
.What do you think ?
