Yesterday I was cold-called by a firm that said that it could do things like this. I asked about their methods, and was told that they could find and remove trademark infringement, secrets and embarassing material from all social media and "the dark web", typically within 48 hours.

I asked if they had contracts with any of the social media companies, to which the salescritter responded that they had an excellent track record. I asked why the social media companies would pay more attention to their requests and take-down notices than they would to mine, and got no particular reassurances.

I suggested that if they could come back to me with proof that they had contracts with three social media companies, then I would consider them. I don't think I'll be hearing back.
