LetsEncrypt is legit. A downside is that the certs expire after 90 days. However, that also carries an upside in that it limits the damage in case a certificate is compromised. There are procedures by which you can automatically renew/request (I forget whether they allow renewing an existing cert or require a brand new one) LE certs and apply them to your application, but that can be fiddly to configure.

If you're not comfortable with configuring automatic certificate cycling, a long-term paid cert would be more appropriate.

Who are you going to take to small claims court for $25? It's going to cost you more than $25 to do it even if you could find the scammer. If they even live in the US.

Looks like someone squatted this domain in April 2023, and someone else bought it in June 2024 for this purpose. No information about who did any of this, or whether it's part of the campaign or condoned by it or where any of the proceeds go.

My bet is on "this product does not actually exist" and whoever has put this together has nothing to do with the campaign and is just doing a full scam.

I'm sure the ancient Greeks said similar things about their steam pinwheels.

Each is a technology with unique features for its time, and where there aren't any practical applications initially.

The ancient Greeks invented steam power, but didn't take it any further than a novelty. That doesn't make steam power a "scam."

The technology isn't, but it can be easily abused by malicious actors, using the exact same methods as shown in Wolf of Wall Street.
