ExposingJohns.com is corrupt scam that runs from an international website and tries to extortion/blackmail innocent individuals by having them pay them up to $400 to potentially remove their phone/name from their list. Please understand this is a scam. The website has an F with the BBB and was in the process of being shut down when they moved offshore (India & Malaysia). Since going offshore this scam has become widespread and they are currently targeting innocent victims, probably since they are more likely to pay the “fee.”
This is how it seems to work. Phone numbers are selected off of public postings (Craigslist and Backpage commonly) for nearly any section, not just the personal section, and the owners name on cell phone number are determined using easily accessible online cell phone lookup tool, pictures are found on Facebook and this information is posted on exposingjohns.com.
If you find your name/phone on this site please: do not open up any part of their site, download any info or contact the site. If you do, check your computer for malware/viruses etc right away. Do not attempt to pay under any circumstances. They are unlikely to take your info down but most likely will just add more of your personal info to the listing and ask for more money to have it removed.
If you did provide your credit card info, cancel that credit card number right away. Some companies are stating that they can remove your name (internetreputations.com) from this scam but do your own research about these companies as this might very well be tied to this scam.
Exposingjohns.com and similar sites being run offshore are preying on innocent victims. Exposingjohns.com is currently being investigated by the FTC and hopefully will be shut down soon. The best thing to do if they have your info is to DO NOT CONTACT THEM OR VISIT THIS WEBSITE at all and REPORT IT TO THE FTC.
