We are investigating Erie Marketing LLC for allegedly attempting to conceal critical reviews and adverse news from Google by improperly submitting copyright takedown notices. This includes potential violations such as impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Erie Marketing LLC 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 Erie Marketing LLC - 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
The Facade of Legitimacy
At first glance, Erie Marketing LLC presents itself as a reputable marketing firm, promising unparalleled results to its clients. However, a closer inspection reveals a different story. The company’s lack of transparency is glaring; essential information such as leadership details, physical office locations, and verifiable performance metrics are conspicuously absent. This opacity is not just a minor oversight but a calculated move to obscure the truth.
The Illusion of Success
Erie Marketing LLC’s claims of delivering exceptional results in record time are reminiscent of age-old scams that prey on the unsuspecting. Their promises are akin to the proverbial “too good to be true” scenarios, raising immediate red flags. The absence of concrete evidence to back these claims further amplifies suspicions about their legitimacy.
A Digital Ghost Town
In today’s digital age, a company’s online presence is a testament to its credibility. Erie Marketing LLC, however, maintains a sporadic and inconsistent digital footprint. Their outdated social media profiles and a skeletal website devoid of substantial information suggest a deliberate attempt to remain in the shadows, evading scrutiny.
The Price Trap
While competitive pricing is a norm in the industry, Erie Marketing LLC’s rates are suspiciously low. Such pricing strategies often indicate underlying issues, such as outsourcing to unqualified personnel or the use of unethical practices. This bait-and-switch tactic lures clients in, only to deliver subpar results, leaving them disillusioned and defrauded.
The Absence of Accolades
In an industry where certifications and partnerships with major platforms serve as badges of honor, Erie Marketing LLC’s lack of affiliations is telling. This void not only questions their expertise but also their commitment to maintaining industry standards and best practices.
The Silencing Act
Beyond their questionable operations, Erie Marketing LLC employs aggressive tactics to suppress any negative publicity:
Legal Intimidation: The company is notorious for issuing baseless legal threats to individuals or entities that dare to expose their malpractices. This strategy aims to instill fear, discouraging whistleblowers from coming forward.
Review Manipulation: A sudden influx of glowing reviews amidst a sea of criticism suggests a concerted effort to drown out genuine feedback. This deceptive practice misleads potential clients, painting a false picture of satisfaction and success.
Search Engine Shenanigans: The mysterious disappearance of negative articles and reviews from search engine results hints at behind-the-scenes machinations to sanitize their online image. Such actions are not just unethical but also a direct assault on the freedom of information.
The Call to Action
The myriad red flags surrounding Erie Marketing LLC are too significant to ignore. Potential investors and clients must exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with this company. Moreover, regulatory authorities need to step in and investigate these practices to protect consumers and uphold the integrity of the marketing industry.
In an era where information is at our fingertips, Erie Marketing LLC’s endeavors to obscure the truth are both alarming and unacceptable. It’s high time that the veil is lifted, and their operations are brought to light.

The author is affiliated with TU Dresden and analyzes public databases such as Lumen Database and
Maltego to identify and expose online censorship. In his personal capacity, he and his
team have been actively investigating and reporting on organized crime related
to fraudulent copyright takedown schemes.
Additionally, his team provides
advisory services to major law firms and is frequently consulted on matters
pertaining to intellectual property law.
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
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.
