Discovering your business featured with a damaging “Risk Assessment Report” on ProConsumer.com can devastate your reputation and bottom line. What makes this platform uniquely dangerous is its dual identity—marketing itself as a legitimate Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance tool while simultaneously publishing unverified risk reports that brand legitimate businesses as threats to avoid.
The Deceptive Dual Identity of ProConsumer.com
ProConsumer.com operates in a sophisticated gray area. On the surface, it presents as a professional B2B service offering comprehensive AML solutions to financial institutions. They advertise API subscriptions, which is not in existent as of today, claim over 500 clients, and boast databases with 120,000+ individual profiles and 200,000+ company profiles covering 120+ countries. They speak the language of compliance professionals—PEP screening, OSINT analysis, real-time risk tracking.
This professional veneer makes ProConsumer.com more dangerous than obvious complaint sites. When potential clients search your business and find a “Risk Assessment Report” from what appears to be a financial compliance platform, the damage is amplified. The site’s presentation lends undeserved credibility to often-unverified accusations.
But beneath this facade lies something different. According to CrimeZona investigations and victim reports, ProConsumer.com allegedly operates the classic reputation extortion playbook—publishing damaging content with minimal verification, then offering removal for substantial fees.
How ProConsumer.com’s Risk Reports Destroy Reputations
Unlike simple review sites, ProConsumer.com publishes comprehensive “Risk Assessment Reports” with numerical threat scores and detailed analysis. These reports assign extremely low scores like 1.9 or 2.1 out of 10, with explicit warnings: “Based on the available data, we advise consumers to avoid this Company altogether.”
They cite vague red flags like “Company Registration Ambiguity,” “Hidden Ownership Structure,” “Unverified Business Claims,” and “Adverse Media Ties” without providing concrete evidence or allowing targets to respond before publication. The reports aggregate information from various sources and present it in a format mimicking professional due diligence reports—appearing authoritative yet lacking verification standards.
Take their SD Bullion example: Despite being BBB-accredited with billions in processed transactions, ProConsumer.com gave it a 1.9 risk score and advised complete avoidance based on customer complaints that exist for virtually every business at scale.

The Alleged Extortion Model
According to victim reports and investigations, ProConsumer.com allegedly operates through:
Anonymous Submissions: Their secure tip system allows anyone—competitors, disgruntled employees, or the operators themselves—to submit allegations without verification.
AI-Driven Content: Automated systems scrape information from online sources, combine it with submissions, and generate professional-looking reports that rank highly in search results.
Professional Facade: Reports use compliance jargon, cite multiple “data points,” and present findings in formats mimicking legitimate due diligence.
Extortion Contact: Victims report receiving communications suggesting that for substantial fees—often thousands of dollars—reports can be “corrected” or removed. Contact comes through [email protected] or intermediaries.
The Trap: If victims pay, content often remains, reappears later, or leads to new demands. If they don’t pay, the damaging report continues ranking in searches, potentially costing thousands in lost business.
Despite claiming Delaware registration, CrimeZona investigations suggest actual operations may run from India—a pattern consistent with similar reputation extortion platforms.
Why Standard Removal Fails
ProConsumer.com has built-in resistance to typical removal approaches:
Legitimate Business Facade: Positioning as an AML compliance tool creates ambiguity about whether they’re a complaint site or professional service, complicating removal channels.
Vague Standards: While their terms claim Delaware governance, specific criteria for removing risk reports remain deliberately unclear. Their disclaimers state “We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided”—absolving responsibility while maintaining control.
Section 230 Protection: Like most platforms, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shields them from liability for third-party content, making successful lawsuits extremely difficult even when content is demonstrably false.
Complex Jurisdiction: Terms claim Delaware governance, but investigations suggest overseas operators, creating legal challenges for victims.
Strategic Removal Approaches That Work
Comprehensive Documentation: Screenshot the entire report including risk score, allegations, cited sources, publication date, and URLs. Document any communications about removal services. If the report contains factual errors—like claiming you’re unlicensed when you are—gather official documentation proving these falsehoods.
Analyze for Legal Violations: Look for copyrighted material used without permission (logos, images), private information violating privacy laws (specific financial details, employee data), provably false statements meeting defamation standards (not opinions but false facts), and violations of their own policies.
Engage Specialized Legal Counsel: You need an attorney experienced with internet defamation and dual-purpose platforms mixing legitimate services with potentially extortionate practices. A proper legal demand should identify specific violations of Delaware law, explain how the report fails professional due diligence standards, outline measurable business harm, and demand removal with clear consequences.
File Infrastructure Complaints: While ProConsumer.com may be unresponsive, their technical infrastructure depends on third-party services with abuse policies. Identify their domain registrar, hosting provider, and CDN services through WHOIS lookup. File detailed complaints explaining how they use these services to host defamatory content and potentially operate extortion schemes.
Leverage Google De-Indexing: Even if removing content from ProConsumer.com proves difficult, removing it from Google addresses the core problem—visibility. Use Google’s personal information removal tool if reports contain sensitive data like financial account numbers or addresses. File DMCA takedown notices if they use your copyrighted material. If you obtain a court order finding content defamatory, Google will typically de-index it from search results.

The Suppression Alternative
When complete removal proves impossible or too costly, reputation management through SEO becomes pragmatic. This involves systematically creating and promoting positive content that pushes the ProConsumer.com report down in search results: build high-authority profiles on LinkedIn and business directories, publish original content on authoritative platforms, generate legitimate positive reviews on Google My Business and Trustpilot, create video content for YouTube, and develop press presence through media coverage.
The goal is dominating the first two pages of Google with positive, accurate content. However, suppression has limitations—the negative content still exists. For businesses in regulated industries or seeking major investments, actual removal becomes essential.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
Never Pay for Removal: Multiple sources warn against paying. Not only does payment mark you as a willing victim, but content often remains, reappears, or leads to additional demands. Payment also complicates future legal action.
Don’t Contact Them Without Strategy: Reaching out before documenting everything and consulting counsel confirms your contact information and demonstrates the report is causing damage.
Avoid Emotional Responses: Angry comments or social media battles generate additional negative content and make you appear defensive.
Don’t Ignore the Problem: The longer content stays visible, the more customers, investors, and partners see it, and the more it spreads.
Why Speed Matters
Damage compounds rapidly. Search engines interpret visible content receiving traffic as authoritative, ranking it higher. Other sites may republish information. Archive sites create permanent records. Every day it’s visible potentially costs you customers, investors, and partners. Early action prevents entrenchment and limits proliferation.
When Professional Help Becomes Essential
ProConsumer.com’s hybrid nature—presenting as both legitimate compliance tool and potential extortion operation—requires expertise beyond typical complaint site removal. Professional firms bring experience with dual-purpose platforms, understand technical and legal pressure points, implement comprehensive multi-channel strategies, and have established relationships with hosting providers and search engines.
They act immediately and efficiently, often resolving situations in weeks that would take businesses months independently. The opportunity cost of executives focused on reputation management rather than running the business is significant. Experienced firms also advise when removal is worth pursuing versus when suppression is more cost-effective.
