Scamnetic Pursues False Advertising Claims Against BlackCloak

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scamnetic, Inc. today announced it is dropping its trade secret claims against BlackCloak and will instead focus on expanded allegations of false advertising. The decision follows comprehensive document and testimonial discovery from BlackCloak executives, including a review of BlackCloak’s software during the litigation. This discovery revealed a stark contrast between BlackCloak’s offering and Scamnetic’s own market-leading identity verification platform, IDeveryone.

Scamnetic’s proposed amended complaint alleges that BlackCloak’s identity product does not function as publicly claimed, in violation of the Lanham Act and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, and it cites the specific misrepresentations BlackCloak has made and continues to make about its product’s capabilities.

Developed by Scamnetic’s co-founders with decades of experience in identity verification and scam prevention, IDeveryone empowers people to protect themselves across digital marketplaces, dating sites, and more.
