This seems odd to say, but if they included a price for just a simple name+birth date query, there is probably a decent price point people would actually pay just to know if they are on there. Like if they have even just half of the names querying for their own identities for like $30 a pop, that'd be more than what they are asking for for the whole bulk.

Think of the operational cost involved to satisfy everybody's query.

Couldn't it easily be automated? A lot of upfront work but then just monitoring.

Running servers takes resources too and in this case the servers need to support millions of queries.

yeah that's what I thought it was going to get to when I started reading the screenshot. but I guess not all criminals are smart marketers
