The company behind MyLife.com is preying on new victims by rebranding itself as MyLife.com after losing a class action lawsuit. Classmates.com was sued in 2008 for defrauding consumers out of money. The people behind Classmates.com have continued the scam under the name MyLife.com.
MyLife.com has been described by legal experts as having inaccurate and unsettling information along with an arbitrary reputation score.
MyLife.com is a California-based website. Technically, an offense as minor as a traffic ticket qualifies as a court record.

- they called or emailed MyLife.com, a site representative told them that they can’t remove their data because it’s “public information.”
Why was MyLife different? Their approach is to combine publicly-available PII and purchased consumer data with misleading language such as "Ainokea may have criminal records," and "Ainokea may have sexual offenses," "Ainokea may have records indicating that they have been evicted from their home," "Ainokea may have lawsuits," etc.
