I just finished my taxes and was asked if I’d like to check my credit score for free with freecreditscore.com.  I’ve been assured by the commercials on TV that it’s absolutely free, unlike the other credit score companies that ask you to enter a credit card number. Everything was going fine until I reached this page.

Does freecreditscore.com not understand that by asking for my credit card number, they are just like those other credit score companies that ask for a credit card?

Hypocrisy, scam or both?

One thought on “Freecreditscore.com, isn’t.”
  1. That looks scammy to me. Next thing you know your acct is empty due to fees.
