In case you didn't read yesterday's thread, there is a website out there that is claiming they will abort a baby if they do not recieve $50,000.

http://www.helpmybabylive.com

From Snopes:

The source code for the page reveals an e-mail address of [e-mail] hooked to the PayPal account. Googling on 'schiros' and 'invisihosting' links the name 'Matthew Schiros' to the e-mail address '[e-mail]' and that blog.

Here's the link between the invisihosting email address to a "Matthew Schiros"; it's from some statistics I don't know much about:

Here's a right-wing blog run by a "Matthew Schiros":

Here's an anti-abortion post by the "Matthew Schiros" of that blog (curiously, I found this link on another right-wing blog when I used Google to search for references to helpmybabylive.com):

Would anyone be able to link the router statistics to the blog somehow?

1. no surprise there

no matter his politics, he IS a shameless wannabe scam artist

2. I found this; Matthew Schiros apparently works for Invisihosting.

He's quoted as a reference by some company that builds servers:

I don't discount the possibility that helpmybabylive.com is using the hosting company's PayPal account, but would someone with an ardent anti-abortion position allow their PayPal account to be used like that?

I wonder if someone tried to get him in trouble for the fake registration and he went and corrected it.

6. could be

On 6/17/07 it had the fake info. On 6/18/07 it had this info. I guess the guy was told to correct it and was either too cheap or too stupid to put it behind a privacy service.

7. Looks like he owns the hosting company as well

Probably a re-seller:

4. Sounds like an awesome scam. Wouldn't suprise me if it was all bullshit

[Arkansas Granny]

8. This sounds a lot like blackmail to me. "Give me money or I abort."

I wonder how many anti-choice people they've hoodwinked with this scam and what their real motives are. They claim $4,551.00 in donations so far.

[blogslut]

9. Well, if he's raising funds through PayPal

I imagine his little scam won't last much longer. They tend to frown on fraud.

10. How NOT surprising is that? knr

[blondeatlast]

11. This guy's a real prince (sarcasm). Get a load of this from his blog...

I can't copy and paste, just read it yourself--if you dare.

This guy's prolific on Google--not sure what the deal is, but he needs a very public takedown. Ugh.

12. duh! someoene EXTORTING money while PRETENDING to be PROLIFE

sounds like a wingnut to me!

13. He's a racist, woman-hating, anti-choice jerk who calls women c***ts.

If you want to read the link I posted above, wait until your latest meal is well down your gullet.
