Yes, please shut down so-called FreeCreditReports.com, seize their domain name and redirect traffic to annualcreditreport.com. If you can send the owners to jail and/or pay a fine, please do that too. About 2 years ago I wanted to check my credit situation and thought they were the government site where "free" really is free. I was disgusted to find that they charged our credit card for their monitoring service and the cost was buried in the fine print. Their TV advertising, their domain name and their web site are so obviously designed to deceive. - Peter
