I don't know anything about the global penalty box... I'm quite fine with the version I have, it works very well for me.
BUT... As far as accepting money and needing names, addresses, phones... None of that seems out of the ordinary, and depending on how you pay (If you pay with a mailed check) they then have all of that info, plus your bank account number :) I run a business, and if I am receiving money, or paying money, I make sure that I have at least all of that info, in fact, generally I ask for their tax Payer ID Number so I can track them down if I need to. I personally don't think this seems like a scam... It's an OPTIONAL paid service... Don't like the feature? Don't use it...
