Note that the Country Love Lasts is the branded dating site site for the instance that I clicked on the site.  BILLPMTKREWS.com is the billing site for the pornography site (the names are x-rated, so I skip them in my articles).  These site/names will rotate on each new click on the craigslist hookup scam site.
