I was posted on this website and paid the money they asked me to pay in order to remove my information..... or so I thought! It turns out they didn't remove it completely! My name is still searchable all over the internet and associated with this site. I have tried to be patient but, after making no less than 20 calls to their business number 512-296-1050 and watching my husband make at least 100, no one has returned my call. I believe I was scammed out of my money. If they were in the process of removing the information I would understand because a legitimate business would tell you this. However, they are obviously not that (legit business) because no one answers the phone at their Austin office or Dallas office, they have no customer service and no email address! You can only contact them by phone!
This is not a legitimate company or legitimate news site. They try to cloak what they are doing as that but it's not. They are taking public records and profiting! The Texas better business bureau should look into them since they are extorting money from people. The icing on the cake is that all of my charges were dismissed. I was incorrectly arrested. Mistaken Identity! This "news source" does not investigate their information before they post it or they would have known this! I hope they realize some money isn't good money especially when you are conning good people. If you search Google there are complaints everywhere about them not fulfilling their promise to remove information. Don't Trust this Site! Don't pay these people! Hire a lawyer instead. I wish I would have! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I will update my report if things change but I have a feeling I am one of thousands of people who are in this situation.

Welcome to the information age

The operation mugshot sites are likely protected by the First Amendment, since the information contained on the site is public records. Mugshot sites will often charge to unpublish material from their site, and they have the right to do so. While this practice upsets those affected, it is again legal since the sites can make decisions as to which mugshots to include, and which to unpublish. Unpublishing is a major issue in the publishing world and it doesn't start or end with one site or another (Google "Unpublish" or "Unpublishing"). This is simply the cost of living in the Information Age, when public information is readily available.

Mugshots.com is an LLC registered in the state of Deleware and has a registered agent to recieve service of process: https://delecorp.delaware.gov/tin/controllernThis is not exortion in a court of law but they are still liable under state civil laws like "use of personal likeness for commercial gain" or "economic damage by use of personal likeness. The IRS would probably be interested also. They make thier money by "skiming" new information available under freedom of information laws and generating webtraffic to get money from google for advertising on thier site. They may also be persued for unautherized practice of law since the "venders" offer expungment service for like $3000. The relationship between venders and lawyer may be unautherized "feeder agreements" under bar ethics rules so you might even be able to go after the lawyers who do business with these people trying ever so hard to hide the money trail and identity of the man behind the curtain,
NOTE: The "approved venders" from the website can be sued as well (and should be)but also operate in anonymity be not disclosing any company information other than the name of the website. The transactions through paypal are somewhat anonynous at first but you should be able to subpoena the bank and routing information.
There is an attorney in SW Florida who claims represents the owner of the website in some capacity...hi Marc ; Marc Gary Epstein. Here is his profile from the florida bar website:
http://www.floridabar.org/names.nsf/0/C6C4B9EE28A58C6285256A830073C611?OpenDocumentThe domain name is registered to a fake address with a dedicated number that is answered by a woman that claims to sell insurance. Follow up calls will show this is just a ruse.

Hope this helps, go get em. And seriously, the operators of the site probably posted this question themselves. And FYI, they create bogus accounts to post misleading information on the internet. They found a clever way of making money but completely disregard hurting people and try to hide themselves from liability.Public information ceases to be protected when they harm other and use that information for comercial gain.

Isnt it all so frustrating? I can attest that they do use their phones but only to cover their trail and make vague legal threats.
This is an exciting acquisition, we envision immense growth for this concept across both online and offline channels, said Jeremy Brooks, Executive Vice President of Star NineVentures and Managing Partner of Citizens Information Assoc., a subsidiary of Star Nine Ventures.
Ryan Russell and Star Nine will not confirm or deny their involvement with mugshot publishing. Star Nine will continue to be identified with online mugshot publications until the following questions are answered:
How did a press release containing false information leave your office?
Who removed the article from business.com.au and why?
Why did Ryan Russell not return phone calls from the press?
Kyle Prall did not coherently respond to my original questions, therefore, Star Nine Ventures is accountable for this information.
