On 1/14/2010, he posted an ad looking for a CL, BP and other classified sites poster.
Want an experienced poster for Backpage and Craigslist. MUST be experienced and able to successfully post on both sites.
Will compensate based off responses. Starting at $75 per 1k, will pay more based off the quality of conversions.
Posts are for NSA (W4M) ad category. You must provide ad content and forward replies to specific email address I provide in real time.
Will test work with a daily payout. Would like to escalate to a regular weekly order with successful traffic.
Being able to drive traffic from additional classified sites a plus.
He later posted a similar ad on 1/19/2010. Earlier, he was looking to buy 5000 Hotmail accounts, and the last ad he posted was for a ghost writer for articles about iGaming, the industry in which Chris Lawell says he does his internet marketing business.
There's another VegasChris on the web who places ads for Craigslist posters, VegasChris of MoneyMakerDisscusion.com. He used to use the name AnitaJohnson. This old version of his MMD profile is still in Google's cache. To see that this is an old version of VegasChris' profile, hover over the link labelled Find All Posts and look at the browser status bar. You'll see that the userid for the profile is 61348, the same as the userid for VegasChris. (Click the image to enlarge it.)
When you click on the link to InCorp Entity Structuring in the cached profile's signature, you are taken to InCorp.com, a company in Henderson, Nevada.
So this VegasChris also has a Henderson, Nevada connection and could very well be the same person as the other one.

I am looking to hire a regular CL poster.
Can be creative when it comes to compensation. Would consider pay per post or JV per sale.
dating in W4M section. Possibly other areas.
Please pm me for discussion.
What both of these guys (and they're probably the same person) are doing here is hiring people to spam the dating sections of Craigslist with fake ads. This is done to promote real dating sites, or to promote fake dating sites used to trick people into signing up for porn sites, and sometimes to promote just plain upfront porn sites.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI was on Craigslist for a while and I got spammed with the emails from seemed to be available women.
After exchanging emails back and forth I found that there was something not right with them. They would not answer my questions but answer the questions I didn't ask... Etc.
It took me a while to realize that those were not real women, but rather an automatic program sending me the emails!
The reason - sooner or later each one would send me a link asking to join some web site where my identity would be verified so I am not a criminal or something... And of course that site needs my credit card information!
Looking over the Internet I found that many people discovered the same!
Same of folks even created web pages listing the scam bots like

There also good articles filled with advices how to avoid the bots:

The bottom line - use Google.
Put the name of the person you are receiving the email from in the search string.
Search the sender email in Google.
You'd be surprised...
