    So I see this ad on Quora for https://www.truthfinder.com/ And hey, why not? They got the state of a US IVPN exit. And I admitted that I'm male, and over 30. But ...
    That's pretty lame. Google at least finds Keybase, Wilders, Steem and Quora accounts :)

    Google finds those with just your real name?

    EDIT: Pretty scammy site. Wants 9.99$ per month from me to tell me more about how my email comes to be in the dark web...

    If they buy private databases from data brokers and provide real-time monitoring and alerting of your personal information disclosure, I don't think it is strange to expect payment for those services.

    I don't know. I was on similiar site that are scams. Judging by how this one looks, I'd say it's also a scam.
    Freak someone and then demand money to fix an inexistant issue.

    Yes, very likely. But it's just funny that it didn't even report Google search results :)

    Also, if one really digs, one can find associated postal addresses. None of them ever mine, of course ;)
