Only saying that's a scam is putting it lightly. That thing is totally worthless. If it could really do what they claim, it would be highly illegal breaking almost every FCC law on the books.

I dunno anything about the brand but I wouldn't be all that quick to call scam.
The technology is quite old and proven, while maybe not exactly legal it would be pretty tough for them to find such a device. I had an old car magazine that had a 94ish vette I think it was, all decked out in stealth equipment, hidden mount radar detector, and a radar jammer setup to activate when the detector goes off.

Car & Driver bought one of these a few years ago and said it was basically a circuitboard with an LED on it. Totally worthless and illegal if it had really worked. If some company was selling something like this, the FCC would shut them down as quick as they started. The only way you'll get something that could totally work is on the black market because any company marketing something like this won't be around long.

That and the Police aren't stupid; if they point a radar gun at your car and either can't get a reading or get a wildly wrong one they will go after you on the suspicion you have a jammer, and as has been mentioned you don't want to break FCC rules, as those are federal laws, so you're playing in a whole different league than a mere speeding ticket...

I found that the best method of making the car invisible to radar and laser is to leave it parked in the garage!

Do a search on this stuff, I'm sure you'll see my comments posted about this crap. If you notice, it says "passive", which means it doesn't actively create signals to send back out. Instead it takes the incoming signal, downconverts it through the waveguide, and ATTEMPTS to spit the lower frequency signal back out, albeit at a MUCH lower signal strength. The significantly lower signal strength alone would prevent the device from working...this needs to be an "active" device. And I seriously doubt the IR LEDs are anywhere NEAR strong enough to fool LIDAR...the case would be filled with them if they were.
