This is all anecdotal but I signed up for the icogni family plan since my parents are boomers who are seriously tech illiterate. After signing up, it seems like I’ve gotten more scam texts and calls, at least initially. I even got a scam letter twice from the same scam. So I would just save your money.

It’s possible that they are doing what they advertise and getting your name off databases but maybe the act of requesting that makes those companies send out your info to another data broker.
