And scams are not limited to the internet. My particular favorite is the TV add for freecreditreport.com. They are NOT free. The only place you can get your credit report totally free is anualcreditreport.com, the rest of the so called free sites are really for profit companys who are trying to lure the unsuspecting into paying for something you do not have to.
Very true, I signed up for that once, then looked at my CC bill the next month and saw all these additional carges for the credit report, fraud protection, government grants, and some other crap... plus I was getting hit for a "foreign currency fee"... they were all small charges like 1.00 here and there, but all combined that came enough of a cost to equal 1 nnew RC car over the course of a year... I don't sign up for anything that asks for my CC or any financial info at all anymore...
