MyLife.com has a profile on me with identifying information. Their website falsely claims I have a criminal record. Isn't that technically libel?
Long story short, I googled myself and saw the first result was a link to a webpage for a company called MyLife.
It's a little jarring to see that a company I've never even heard of has a profile on me with my pictures, my hometown, political party, and phone number. It's a little more disturbing to see them falsely claiming that I have a criminal record, which is the first result for anybody who Googles my name.
It's not that big of a deal, but they seem to have this "alert" on everyone's profile saying that "[insert name] DOES have Arrest or Criminal Records."
I know anybody with more than two brain cells would realize that this website is a scam, but out of general curiousity, I was wondering if this would technically be considered libel, considering my record is perfectly clean save for a single traffic ticket for an expired registration sticker.
[Edit] I'm in New Jersey.
