They are extorting money from people who have the misfortune to have been arrested in the past, extortion is illegal and can subject them to legal prosecution. Posting the information is not illegal per say, what is illegal
1- Requiring from people to pay to get their pictures taken off is illegal
2- Most importantly using your name and tagging it to search engine is illegal as per the law in this domain
"To the extent required to prevent a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, an agency may delete identifying details when it makes available or publishes an opinion, statement of policy, interpretation, staff manual, instruction, or copies of records referred to in subparagraph (D)"
Just because you are arrested, doesn't give them or anyone else, ownership over your name. You can't legally index a person's name on a national medium without permission of that individual. Another company has been taken down because of that, "Dramatica" that is.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO and everyone else who may run into the same problem with these people:
1- Call the hosting website company and email them at the email address below. Per my investigation all of them are hosted by the same hosting company named Liquid Web.
Call Liquid Web and point them to the above 2 facts and read the law to them. Ask them if there has been any other reports on those 4 websites.
Liquid Web, Inc.
4210 Creyts Rd.
Lansing, MI 48917
Country: US
+1-800-580-4985
2- Report the matter to Visa and Mastercard Security
VISA : [email protected]
MASTERCARD: 1 800 307 7309
3 - If the webhosting company does not comply, call the Law Enforcement in their city
Lansing, MI 48917
Call their Police and let them know.

The hosting company shall not host a website conducting a scam and extorting money from people |
