Here are two more fake dating sites:
2safelocals.net
verify-locals2.com
If you try to visit the home page of either of them, you see the message "Error 401. Please enter the full Link". You need to include a path to one of the viewable pages. For example, these URLs both work.
2safelocals.net/emily4u
verify-locals2.com/emily4u
The sign-up form for 2SafeLocals.net is inside a frame that loads content from amateurpleasuretube.com or some other porn site, as you can see by right-clicking on the form and looking at the frame source.
Verify-Locals2 has a dummy login form in the top right corner. If you enter a name and password and click enter, nothing happens. This is the same form, and as a matter of fact, this entire page is almost identical to the one we saw on craigslistsafe.localsafe.org. The sign-up form for this site sits in a frame that loads its content from cashuniversity.com, and when you sign up you get directed to some adult site or other. Again, you can see this by looking at the frame source.

More Scam Sites
The following are scam sites similar to the ones that have been reported here before. They're used to trick you into signing up for porn sites. Right now, we are just listing them. More information about them will be provided later, but for now, trust us, they're fake dating sites, not real ones.

LiveSafeToday.net
Another dating verification scam site has been discovered. The site is LiveSafeToday.net.
See where it says "The SAFEST way to meet people online in [Your location]" in the top right corner of the page? The site uses IP location technology to get your approximate location and display it where [Your location] is. The verification form in the bottom right corner is used to get you to sign up for the porn site DiscreetHoneys.com, not LiveSafeToday.net. It is in a separate frame and the code comes from join.securepaypass.com. Also, notice that in the top left corner there are the words "Craigslist Safe" in big blue letters.
Although it says in the bottom left of the page that they have "successfully verified thousands of users since August, 2008", The site has only been in existence since December 3, 2010, as you can see by looking it up at who.is.
The name servers for the site are ns1.global-host.org and ns2.global-host.org and the SOA record for the site shows that the DNS server administrator for its zone is admin@global-host.org.
Global-host.org is a fake hosting company. Its home page consists simply of a design template for a hosting company. Another site with this template is rcchost.com. Also, the site global-host.org was just created on November 19th, 2010.
The IP for LiveSafeToday.net is 93.174.94.138 and the IP for Global-host.org is 93.174.94.133. Both of these IPs are owned by Ecatel.

Proof That Christopher Lawell Owns MiyaBot and Is Therefore VegasChris
Some more has been discovered about MiyaBot, the chatbot sold by VegasChris of MoneyMakerDiscussion.com, the man who was once a VP of a mortgage company and now markets porn on the internet by means of hiring people to post fake dating ads on Craigslist. On the site uowow.com, which now has nothing but a default website page, there was once a source code repository for a Microsoft Visual Studio Solution (a collection of software development projects) with the name MiyaBot. It no longer exists but is still partly viewable in Google's cache.
In the screen shot above, see that the URL given for the solution file was
http://www.uowow.com:8080/svn/CLI/AimBot/Miyabot.sln
In this path, there is a directory called svn, which stands for Apache Subversion, the name of the source code control system being used here. It's standard practice in using Subversion to create your source code repositories in directories underneath this one. The source code repository in this case happens to be called CLI, which just happen to be the initials of Christopher Lawell Inc.
Well, it was discovered that the person who owned this server is a computer programmer who was one of Chris Lawell's Facebook friends. It was thought that he was the person who created MiyaBot. We contacted him and asked him how he was involved with Christopher Lawell. This is a screen shot of part of the conversation. His name, picture, and other identifying information were blanked out since he doesn't want to be associated with any illegal activities.
So this person confirms that Chris Lawell is the owner of MiyaBot, which means that Chris Lawell is VegasChris of MoneyMakerDiscussion.com.
The MiyBot solution was located at http://www.uowow.com:8080/svn/CLI/AimBot/Miyabot.sln (Click to enlarge) |

Christopher Lawell and the CraigslistSafe.LocalSafe.org Scam: A Review of the Evidence So Far
This summary is not available. Please
click here to view the post.
Chris Lawell on Facebook: Is the Chris Lawell Who Plugs MiyaBot the Same Chris Lawell of 350DollarWebsites.com? Is He VegasChris of MMD?
There is more than one Facebook profile for someone called Chris Lawell. Besides the one that the partner at Clearline Media and president of Christopher Lawell Inc. and 350dollarwebsites.com acknowledges owning, there is also one with no profile picture uploaded. The owner of this other profile does, however, have his wall visible to the public so that we can see that on March 15th he used his wall to plug a chatbot called MiyaBot. (You must login to Facebook in order for the link to work so that you can view his wall.)
I've already pointed out that in Google's cache there is a now deleted thread where the MMD VegasChris recommends his friend SnBirdi for website design and gives as an example of his work the site for Chris Lawell's company Clearline Media. Look at the page again and notice that he also gives Miyabot.com as an example of SnBirdi's work.
VegasChris has also recommended the product MiyaBot in the thread Dating Bot Jenny she walks she talks she converts :)
And in the thread WTB MSN/AIM Bot, where user darkcrypt is looking to buy a chatbot, VegasChris says:
So VegasChris of MMD doesn't just promote MiyaBot, he is the owner of the product. The link in the quote above goes to a thread that is no longer available that was titled "MiyaBot - The worlds most innovative Chat-Bot".
Finally, in this deleted web page that is still in Google's cache, VegasChris talks about the great job that his friend SnBirdi (aka Nick) has done on his website Miyabot.com.
Chatbots, for those of you who don't know, are computer programs that simulate conversations with real people. They are used sometimes by businesses like PayPal to provide automated support to their customers. They are also used by people who engage in e-Whoring, the scam of cheating men on the internet out of their money by getting them to believe that there is a real girl online who is interested in them.
We don't know yet that these two Chris Lawells are the same person. But suppose that they were. The question arises, why would he have two Facebook accounts? A possible answer would be that he wanted to use one for his personal life and one for his business relationships. People who run their own businesses often have separate personal and business profiles on Facebook.

That's only one of the benefits of using MiyaBOT. You can set up unlimited tokenized responses for messages.
The person can say "what's your name?" and you can reply differently everytime.
And in the thread WTB MSN/AIM Bot, where user darkcrypt is looking to buy a chatbot, VegasChris says:
You are in luck. I just put one on the market today...
Contact me via pm with any questions!!

A Little Bit More About VegasChris of MoneyMakerDiscussion.com
On MMD there is a thread titled Hello! started by OnlineMom to introduce herself to the forum. VegasChris, being the polite man that he is, welcomes her and tells her a little about himself.
In a previous post I showed you a screen shot of a past version of VegasChris' profile where he used the name AnitaJohnson. In that profile he used his posting signature to promote the company InCorp of Henderson, Nevada. Look again at the URL for the link to InCorp which you can see in the browser status bar:
The URL that MMD redirects you to when you click the InCorp link is
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.InCorp.com%2Fdefault.aspx%3Freferredbyaccountid%3D65123
which gets decoded to
http://www.incorp.com/default.aspx?referredbyaccountid=65123
See that portion of the URL after the question mark? That tells us the the account ID of the affiliate who is directing Web traffic to InCorp's website. Using that ID, InCorp could tell us exactly who this VegasChris, the man who hires people to spam Craigslist with fake dating ads to promote porn sites, really is.
Welcome Online Mom. I as the VP of a national Mortgage company. Now I work from home as a full time IM'er (Internet marketer)Our friend Chris Lawell was also once the Vice President of a mortgage company, Ace Mortgage Funding. (Click the image to enlarge it.)
