Comments:

When I went to FreeCreditReport.com, I was told that my "reports" would be free, but every time I went to the next screen, the buttons and links where I'd assume to find the links and buttons to continue were actually "agree" buttons/links that took me to pages that kept trying to sell me more and more services. The average consumer does not pay attention to links when they click on them. FreeCreditReport preys on this.
