They try to gather damaging public records about people, then they offer to remove your info for a fee. In the real world this is called extortion. I'm surprised no one has challenged them legally. It is a cheaply done website: they cannot even make the page fit the screen, just a bunch of unorganized text files slapped on a page. It looks like the work of hackers. They are only concerned with data and not appearance, which is a giveaway.
For now this may be legal, but I believe these people have been involved in criminal activities before. You don't just wake up one morning and say, "this looks like a legal scam." You are a scammer first, then you find a legal way to operate your hustle. Maybe our government needs to investigate these types of extortion sites and create laws against them operating these immoral activities. If I had hard copy photos and damaging info on someone and told them to give me $400 for me to destroy them, that would be considered extortion, and that is what this is. In my eyes these people are criminals and our laws have not caught up to our technology.
It figures the company's website is registered in the Cayman Islands. There is no CEO name, just a contact number. This is typical of these types of websites, avoiding US laws by setting up outside the US but using US resources to create these companies.
