Bitninja – is it legit?

Does anyone know if Bitninja is a legitimate service? They purport to provide security services. I recently got an email from them with a link to some supposedly bad URLs that prove that a PC has malware. I’m a little skeptical. To get full details I have to pay. To request a delisting I have to pay.

To me it smells like some of those thinly veiled extortionist schemes that I come across in the mail world.

The particulars in this case consist of stripped access information (I can’t think of any good reason to strip some of the most useful information away) which look like this:

There is only one thing in my logs that that could be. They got the time very wrong. The host is www.casarivercentury.org. It kind of looks like it may be a honeypot that they managed to sneak by Google and enticed some unlucky souls to use. Or not.

Or maybe I’ve got it all wrong. Does anyone else have experience with them?
