(Not) Freecreditreport.com

Since I got burned I thought I would toss it out there for all my faithful readers. Don't use freecreditreport.com as they automatically subscribe you to their monthly reporting service with little in the way of notification of their intent. I noticed a $15 deduction from my checking account and searched for the source. I found I wasn't the first to be burned.

Learn from my mistake and follow the links from the FTC's site to get your Free (as in beer) credit report.

I hate that shit. Makes me very angry. Thanks for the warning.

Wry - I'm just glad I caught it so quickly and only got dinged the once. Hopefully a few people come across this information before the same happens to them.
