Is DeleteMe.org real? Looks too good to not be a data stealing scam. (joindeleteme.com)

For what its worth, I subbed to EasyOptOuts earlier this year, as recommended by PrivacyGuides and Consumer Reports, and have, somewhat anecdotally, noticed a MASSIVE decline in spam/scam calls.

I was getting 1-2 calls a day at peak, and now I haven't had one in weeks. Could be a fluke, confirmation bias, or other unrelated crackdowns, but for now happy to keep my subscription going for a couple of years to not have to worry about checking back on those brokers constantly.

Hoping the CA Opt Out portal goes live soon as well, since that'll be a huge win for millions of people.
