potentialpredators.com is a website that is Panama owned (read: cannot be sued).

They illegally scrape people's social profiles, and then list them on their site as being "sexual predators".  They then send you an email to the profile they created on their site, demanding $99 to remove the photo.  If you pay them money, they will make numerous charges to your credit card under multiple company names.

This is slanderous, libelous, unauthorized use of photos and likeness, false accusations of criminal conviction, blackmail, fraud, and extortion (to name a few).
