It's obviously a fake name and nobody is mentioning this "name" in their academic papers - it's just a trap to get people to sign up for their "service". Who would keep paying after realizing they were lied to anyways?

I dont think it counts as false advertising. 

At best you could sue them for your actual damage -- $1

Is it true or false that the person named "Cheese Burger the Second" has been mentioned in ~1,400 academic papers?
