Free Credit Reports …. Really?
I have not looked at the Free Credit Report services offered in different countries, but the one I just saw for here in Canada is just plain wrong.
A website offering this service to us Canadians. They REQUIRE that you give them your credit card information… well, ok, that will help to get credit rating. Hold it a second, the page to put the information about the credit card is on the HTTP protocol, not the secured HTTPS.
The Lawyer that owns the site obvious is a shady one, She is PROMOTING both Credit Card Fraud and Identity Theft.
Well, I blasted them directly calling them stupid thieves for not using ssl for handling credit card details.
Then I reported them to the Local RCMP Headquarters, for Montreal Quebec.
It’s only “free” for 7 days anyways, after that they charge you 29.95 a month. And the only way to avoid this recurring charge is to PHONE THEM, within that 7 day period.
so it isn’t free even if they don’t cost you EVERYTHING by their lack of security.
I bet that if you look at the other services you will find many, if not all, of these issues are there as well.
bunch of criminals they are.
here, the whois search results for the domain:
