FreeCreditScore.com, which is probably the best-known “free” faker now charges $1 despite the name, so that it does not have to follow the FTC’s rule:
[W]ebsites offering free credit reports must have a disclosure, with links to AnnualCreditReport.com and FTC.gov, that appears across the top of each page that mentions free credit reports. Violators are subject to legal action that can result in penalties of up to $3,500 per violation.
Here are the offenders:
- NationalCreditReport.com
- FreeCreditReport4U.com
- MyCreditCenter.com
- 3CreditReport.com
- OnlineFreeCreditReports.com
- My3BureauCreditReport.com
- FreeScore.com
- Free3BureauCreditReport.com
- FreeTripleCreditScore.com
- FreeOnlineReportNow.com
- GoFreeCredit.com
- FreeCredit-Reports.net
- Free-Credit-Reports-Repair.com
- FreeCredit-Report.net
