Independent profile — not affiliated with Nuwber
Nuwber
Nuwber is a people-search website operated by Nuwber, Inc., a corporation formed under Virginia law according to its own 2024 federal court filing, that compiled public-record and other data into searchable profiles showing names, addresses, phone numbers, and relatives. When this page was checked on September 27, 2026, nuwber.com and www.nuwber.com were not reachable and returned no address records in DNS lookups, and no public announcement explaining this was found. Review sources give sharply different pictures of the company: the Better Business Bureau lists an F rating with 53 complaints in the last three years and 1.5 out of 5 from 16 customer reviews, while Trustpilot shows 4.8 out of 5 from 545 reviews and USAComplaints has no complaints of its own about Nuwber. Nuwber is also a defendant, alongside dozens of other data brokers, in pending Daniel's Law litigation in New Jersey federal court alleging it kept disclosing home addresses and phone numbers of covered persons after being asked to stop.

Want your information off Nuwber? What you can do now
Nuwber is a people-search site that compiled and published personal profiles — names, addresses, phone numbers, and relatives — drawn from public records and other data sources. When this page was checked on September 27, 2026, nuwber.com and www.nuwber.com were not reachable: DNS lookups for the domain returned no address records, and no public announcement explaining why was found. That means there is currently no live Nuwber page to submit a removal request through.
A few realistic things you can still do:
- Check whether an old Nuwber result is still showing up in Google. Even though the site itself is not loading, an old search-result snippet can linger. If a result shows your home address, phone number, or email, Google's “Results about you” tool is built for exactly that. If the underlying Nuwber page is gone but Google's listing hasn't caught up, Google's separate “Refresh outdated content” tool is meant to prompt a recrawl.
- Try the contact channels still listed for Nuwber, with no guarantee of a response. The Better Business Bureau lists a phone number, (844) 912-1292, for Nuwber, Inc., and Nuwber's Trustpilot profile lists [email protected] as a company contact. The domain's own mail (MX) records were still active on September 27, 2026, even though the website itself returned no address record, so a message sent to the domain may still be delivered — this page cannot confirm anyone reads or answers it.
- Check other people-search sites, not just Nuwber. People-search and data-broker sites commonly draw on overlapping public-record and third-party data, so information unavailable on one site can still appear on others.
- California residents: the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) lets you send one deletion request to all active data brokers registered with California, and registered brokers must begin processing DROP requests from August 1, 2026. California's own guidance says brokers may keep data that is exempt under the law, including public records. Nuwber Inc is listed on California's 2026 data broker registry (last updated July 29, 2026), with [email protected], (844) 912-1292 and the Alexandria, Virginia address, so a DROP request from a California resident is sent to it as a registered broker, subject to those exemptions. In that registration Nuwber reported receiving zero California privacy requests of any type in 2024.
- New Jersey covered persons (police officers, judges, prosecutors, and others covered by Daniel's Law) can send notices under that law asking a company to stop disclosing their home address or phone number; Nuwber is currently a defendant in litigation alleging it kept disclosing that information after receiving such notices (see the litigation section below).
Is Nuwber down? What we found on September 27, 2026
On September 27, 2026, both Google Public DNS and Cloudflare's public DNS resolver returned no address record at all for nuwber.com or www.nuwber.com — the lookups came back with an empty answer, showing only the SOA record for the domain's own nameservers. In plain terms, a normal web browser has no address to connect to. Browsers show the error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. The domain itself is still registered and still has its nameservers and its mail (MX) records. A separate connection attempt from a different network also could not reach the site.
A similar-looking domain, nuwber.fr, does still resolve, but today it is a French-language blog about technology and mobile phones, not the Nuwber people-search service. KrebsOnSecurity reported in 2024 that nuwber.fr was registered in 2016 and at that time was identical to Nuwber.com’s homepage.
No public announcement from Nuwber explaining the outage was found in the sources checked for this page. This does not mean Nuwber has shut down permanently — only that the site was not reachable when this page was checked on September 27, 2026. This page will be rechecked and updated if that changes.
Company background
In its own notice of removal filed in federal court in April 2024, Nuwber stated that it “is, and at the time of the commencement of this action was, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Virginia, with its corporate headquarters and principal place of business in Virginia.” Court filings caption the company as Nuwber, Inc.
The Better Business Bureau's file for Nuwber, Inc. lists an address of 700 N Fairfax St, Suite 614, Alexandria, VA, states the business was started/incorporated in August 2017, and names Tatiana Borodina as CEO.
A second, separate, older BBB listing for “Nuwber.Com” (815 N Royal St, Suite 202, Alexandria, VA) also exists; its figures are separate and are not combined with the main Nuwber, Inc. profile above.
Reported ownership link to OneRep. In March 2024, KrebsOnSecurity reported what it called “an abundance of evidence” that Dimitri Shelest, founder and CEO of the data-removal service OneRep, founded Nuwber; OneRep’s site at the time stated that OneRep “is not associated with Nuwber.com.” In an update to that story, Shelest acknowledged maintaining an ownership stake in Nuwber but said there was “zero cross-over or information-sharing with OneRep.” This is a news report plus Shelest’s own response, not a court or regulatory finding.
Complaint record: USAComplaints, BBB, Trustpilot, and ComplaintsBoard, reported separately
USAComplaints has no complaints of its own about Nuwber.
Separately, the Better Business Bureau's file for Nuwber, Inc. shows an F rating, not accredited, with BBB citing “failure to respond to 8 complaint(s) filed against business” among its reasons; BBB lists 53 complaints in the last three years and 2 closed in the last 12 months. Of the 10 complaints BBB displays in detail, 7 are marked Unanswered, 2 Answered, and 1 Resolved. Two examples, as consumers themselves describe them: one dated February 4, 2026 says the consumer asked Nuwber to remove their information and that the phone number listed for the company “goes directly to a voicemail”; another dated January 29, 2026 says an opt-out was submitted, the company said the page was removed, but the information still showed up. These are individual consumers' own accounts, not independently verified findings. BBB's separate customer-review score for Nuwber, Inc. is 1.5 out of 5 from 16 reviews.
Separately again, Nuwber's Trustpilot profile (a claimed profile since May 2023) shows 4.8 out of 5 from 545 reviews; Trustpilot's own notices on that profile state there is “no recent history of asking for reviews” and that the company “hasn't replied to negative reviews.”
ComplaintsBoard's profile for Nuwber shows a score of 1.0, from 0 reviews and 10 complaints.
These figures describe different populations, time periods, and methodologies — USAComplaints' 0, BBB's 53 complaints and 16 reviews, Trustpilot's 545 reviews, and ComplaintsBoard's 10 complaints are reported here separately and are never added together or averaged into one score.
Litigation record
Nuwber, Inc. is a defendant in Atlas Data Privacy Corp. et al. v. Nuwber, Inc. (U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, No. 1:24-cv-04609-HB), one of dozens of parallel suits brought by Atlas against data brokers under New Jersey's Daniel's Law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.1). The complaint, removed to federal court by Nuwber in April 2024, is brought as assignee of roughly 18,938 “Covered Persons” — New Jersey police officers, judges, prosecutors, and others — plus named individual officers, alleging Nuwber kept disclosing their home addresses and/or phone numbers after receiving notices to stop, and seeking liquidated damages of at least $1,000 per violation, fees, and punitive damages. These are allegations, not proven facts. The district court denied the defendants' motions to dismiss, which argued that Daniel's Law is facially unconstitutional (758 F. Supp. 3d 322 (D.N.J. 2024), as described by the New Jersey Supreme Court). As of September 2026, discovery is ongoing (an August 26, 2026 order denied a stay pending the related Third Circuit appeal, and a September 9, 2026 order set a discovery schedule). The case remains pending, with no finding of liability.
Nuwber is also an appellant in a related Third Circuit appeal, No. 25-1581, docketed March 31, 2025 and consolidated with the lead appeal, Atlas Data Privacy Corp. v. We Inform, No. 25-1555. The panel certified a state-law question to the New Jersey Supreme Court; supplemental letter briefs were filed in August 2026, and on September 18, 2026 the panel denied a stay motion brought by other appellants in the consolidated appeals. This appeal remains pending.
On August 12, 2026, the New Jersey Supreme Court answered that certified question in Atlas Data Privacy Corp. v. We Inform, LLC — the lead case in the consolidated appeals that include Nuwber's, though Nuwber is not itself the named party in that decision. The court held that Daniel's Law “does not contain a mental state requirement for actual damages liability,” while punitive damages require a showing of “willful or reckless disregard of the law.” This ruling addresses how the statute works generally; it is not a finding against Nuwber specifically, and the underlying Atlas v. Nuwber case remains pending.
In an earlier, separate case, Poppenhouse et al. v. Nuwber, Inc. (U.S. District Court, Central District of Illinois, No. 3:21-cv-03144), a putative class action removed to federal court in June 2021 that, according to a classaction.org summary, alleged Nuwber used Illinois residents’ identities to sell subscriptions in violation of the Illinois Right of Publicity Act, the court was told in December 2021 that the parties had reached a settlement, and the case was dismissed with prejudice on January 11, 2022 on the plaintiffs' notice of voluntary dismissal. The terms of that settlement are not public.
Is Nuwber Legitimate?
Nuwber, Inc. is a real corporation, formed under Virginia law according to its own 2024 federal court filing, and it is currently a named party in ongoing New Jersey federal litigation as well as past litigation that ended in a settlement. That is separate from a finding about whether any specific Nuwber practice is lawful: the Atlas Data Privacy litigation over Daniel's Law notices is pending, with motions to dismiss denied but no finding of liability against Nuwber, and this page does not predict how it will resolve.
This page assigns Nuwber no rating, score, or “scam” label of its own. What can be said factually: Nuwber operated as a people-search service compiling data about individuals, and its website was not reachable when this page was last checked; its BBB file carries an F rating with 53 complaints in the last three years and 1.5 out of 5 from 16 reviews, while its Trustpilot profile shows 4.8 out of 5 from 545 reviews and ComplaintsBoard displays 1.0 alongside 0 reviews and 10 complaints; and it is a defendant in pending Daniel's Law litigation alleging continued disclosure of covered persons' addresses and phone numbers after being asked to stop. Readers can weigh that record for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Nuwber down?
When this page was checked on September 27, 2026, nuwber.com and www.nuwber.com returned no address records in DNS lookups and could not be reached; no public announcement explaining why was found. This page cannot say whether the outage is permanent — only that the site was not reachable on that date. It will be rechecked if the situation changes.
How do I remove my information from Nuwber now that the site won't load?
There is currently no live Nuwber page to submit a removal request through, since the site was not reachable when checked on September 27, 2026. Two channels were still listed as of that date, with no guarantee of a response: a phone number, (844) 912-1292, listed on Nuwber, Inc.'s BBB profile, and an email address, [email protected], listed on its Trustpilot profile (the domain's mail records were still active). Since people-search sites often draw on overlapping data, it can also help to check other people-search and data-broker sites for the same information.
Why do Nuwber results still show up in Google?
A search engine's index can lag behind a site going offline: a page or snippet Google crawled before Nuwber became unreachable can keep showing up until Google recrawls it. If an old Nuwber result shows your home address, phone number, or email, Google's “Results about you” tool is built to help with that; if the underlying page is gone and the listing just hasn't caught up, Google's “Refresh outdated content” tool is meant to prompt a recrawl. Google notes that removing something from Google Search does not delete it from the original site.
Is Nuwber legit?
Nuwber, Inc. is a real Virginia corporation, according to its own 2024 federal court filing, and has operated as a people-search site since around 2017 per its BBB file. It also carries an F rating and 53 complaints in the last three years on BBB, a much higher 4.8-out-of-5 Trustpilot score, and is a defendant in pending litigation over Daniel's Law notices. This page does not assign Nuwber a rating or a “scam” label; the record above is reported so readers can weigh it themselves.
Who owns Nuwber?
Court filings caption the company as Nuwber, Inc., which its own 2024 removal notice describes as a corporation formed under Virginia law with its headquarters in Virginia. The Better Business Bureau's file names Tatiana Borodina as CEO. This page found no further, verified ownership information beyond these sources. KrebsOnSecurity reported in March 2024 that OneRep founder Dimitri Shelest founded Nuwber; Shelest acknowledged maintaining an ownership stake in Nuwber but said there was “zero cross-over or information-sharing with OneRep.”
What is the Atlas Data Privacy lawsuit against Nuwber?
Atlas Data Privacy Corp. sued Nuwber, Inc. in New Jersey (removed to federal court as No. 1:24-cv-04609-HB) as assignee of about 18,938 “Covered Persons” under New Jersey's Daniel's Law, alleging Nuwber kept disclosing their home addresses and/or phone numbers after receiving notices to stop. These are allegations, not proven facts. Motions to dismiss were denied, and the case is pending, with discovery ongoing as of September 2026 and no finding of liability. A related Third Circuit appeal (No. 25-1581) is also pending.
Why are Nuwber's Trustpilot and BBB ratings so different?
The two platforms measure different things from different populations. Nuwber's BBB file carries an F rating, with BBB citing failure to respond to eight complaints, and a separate 1.5-out-of-5 score from 16 customer reviews; the complaints are mostly about removal requests. Its Trustpilot profile, by contrast, shows 4.8 out of 5 from 545 reviews, though Trustpilot itself notes the profile has “no recent history of asking for reviews” and that the company “hasn't replied to negative reviews.” ComplaintsBoard separately displays 1.0 alongside 0 reviews and 10 complaints. This page reports all three separately rather than combining or averaging them.
How do I contact Nuwber?
As of September 27, 2026, the Better Business Bureau's file lists a phone number for Nuwber, Inc., (844) 912-1292, and Nuwber's Trustpilot profile lists an email address, [email protected]. The domain's mail (MX) records were still active on that date even though the Nuwber website itself was not reachable, but this page cannot confirm that messages to either channel receive a response. The same phone number and email address appear in Nuwber’s 2026 registration with California’s data broker registry.
