Went on the socialcatfish website ( www.socialcatfish.com) to attempt to have my information removed

As per there privacy policy i did the requested steps ( including the options stated of what i was asking to opt out)

Gte confirmation email, click that and end result is " my ip has been blacklisted" and they will not do anything so i go to there contact us part

Has vasrious options to choose as for the reason ( would assume would go to the right person and or deptartment)

Explain what happened

Get a reply from *******@socialcatfish.com telling me basically there just a ( in my words) a tour guide and do nothing

And proceed to tell me to do the steps i already did

There was no let me pass this or send this to right person or anything like that

If my "ip is blacklisted" how am i on the site?

What does that even mean?

Do they not follow there own privacy policy?

Since beginning of Dec. 2025 I have used the opt-out feature MULTIPLE times and emailed them constantly. They acknowledge my emails and opt-out requests. I check my profile and it's gone for a day, and then back. I have screenshots of this. I've never had any issues opting-out with other data brokers.

SocialCatfish reviews are true — I paid $1.99 first, then got hit with a $49.99 charge later. My experience was extremely disappointing.

Based on other reviews, I should've avoided this. Paid 1$, but then socialcatfish.com took 24.99$ more. Horrible experience.

I attempted to exercise basic privacy choices on SocialCatfish (delete my profile, opt out of sale/sharing, and suppress re-ingestion of my data). I followed their process exactly, submitting via their web form with the specific profile URL. The site then misclassified my submission as "third-party" and refused to process it. After repeated good-faith attempts and emails (with safe, redacted identity verification), the company responded that my IP address was blocked and that they only allow two "data-related" requests per year from the same IP address. They directed me to try from a different IP or wait twelve months, and declined to process by email—despite the form failure. This created a closed loop that prevented resolution while my data remained posted. This pattern aligns with hundreds of negative reviews on Trustpilot describing other issues—especially billing complaints about $1–$1.99 trials that are later followed by $24.99–$49.99 charges. These are recent and numerous, and many use the same language about unexpected post-trial billing. Why this matters: A company handling sensitive personal data should provide workable, good-faith methods for consumers to exercise deletion/opt-out—not block first-party requests by IP, impose arbitrary request caps, or force consumers into malfunctioning channels.

My review on socialcatfish.com: paid 1$, then 49.99$ taken, worst experience ever. It looked cheap at 1$, but they secretly took 49.99$, this site is not trustworthy.
