I have an actual, serious question. Are these companies that offer reputation improvement/internet scrubbing services ever successful, or are they just conning dumb rich people, corporations, and institutions out of a lot of money? Could or have any of them been prosecuted for fraud? I could see where they could maybe be partly successful with a person, company, or institution who doesn’t have any notoriety (me, or a local dog grooming business, for example), but there’s no way to scrub a big news story like this. Aren’t there truth in advertising laws or something these businesses might be in violation of?
