As others have said, there are multiple scam reports against bitcoinpaperwallet.com since the site was sold.

Am I the only one who generates my paper wallets manually?

Flip a coin 11 times, turn the resulting number in to a BIP39 word from the word list. Repeat 23 times.
Flip a coin 3 times, calculate the checksum using a permanently airgapped computer, pick the last word.
Write down on paper, import in to a wallet or iancoleman on your permanently airgapped computer to generate a receiving address (Optional: add in a passphrase and write that down on a separate piece of paper).
Whole thing can be done in 15-20 minutes.

If your are using paper wallets for long term storage of the majority of my funds, then why not take the time to remove the trust for a third party generating your seed/keys entirely?
