What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Blacklands Finance Limited over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Blacklands Finance Limited - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
Blacklands Finance Limited, a financial services company, has faced a series of allegations, red flags, and adverse news reports that have raised concerns about its operations, ethics, and reputation. While the company has not been formally convicted of any crimes, the following major allegations and adverse reports have tarnished its public image:
Misleading Investors: Blacklands Finance has been accused of providing misleading information to investors about the risks associated with its financial products. Reports suggest that the company downplayed potential losses while exaggerating projected returns, leading to significant financial harm to some investors.
Regulatory Scrutiny: The company has been under investigation by financial regulators in multiple jurisdictions for alleged non-compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. These investigations have raised questions about the company’s adherence to legal and ethical standards.
High-Pressure Sales Tactics: Former employees and clients have alleged that Blacklands Finance used aggressive and unethical sales tactics to push high-risk financial products onto unsuspecting customers, particularly targeting vulnerable populations such as retirees.
Lack of Transparency: Critics have pointed to the company’s opaque corporate structure and lack of transparency in its financial dealings. This has fueled suspicions about the legitimacy of its operations and the true nature of its business model.
Adverse Media Coverage: Several investigative journalists and media outlets have published exposés on Blacklands Finance, highlighting its questionable practices and the negative impact on clients. These reports have damaged the company’s reputation and eroded public trust.
Reputational Harm and Motives for Cyber Crime
The allegations and adverse media coverage have significantly harmed Blacklands Finance’s reputation. In the financial services industry, trust and credibility are paramount, and any erosion of these can lead to a loss of clients, investors, and business opportunities. The company’s alleged misconduct has also made it a target for regulatory scrutiny, which could result in fines, sanctions, or even the revocation of its operating licenses.
Given the high stakes, Blacklands Finance may have a strong motive to suppress damaging information. If the company believes that its survival depends on controlling the narrative, it might resort to extreme measures, including cyber crimes, to remove or discredit negative stories. For instance, hacking into the systems of media outlets or journalists to delete articles, launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to silence critics, or using phishing campaigns to intimidate whistleblowers could be seen as desperate attempts to protect its reputation.
However, such actions would not only be illegal but also counterproductive. Engaging in cyber crime would further damage the company’s credibility and invite even more scrutiny from law enforcement and regulators. It would also alienate clients and investors who value ethical behavior and transparency.
In conclusion, while Blacklands Finance Limited has not been proven guilty of any crimes, the allegations and adverse reports against it have severely impacted its reputation. The company’s desire to suppress this information, even through illicit means, underscores the high stakes involved. However, resorting to cyber crime would only exacerbate its problems, highlighting the importance of addressing issues through legal and ethical channels.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
