free credit report dot com is a scam

Last week someone told me about this and I thought they were crazy. I have had nothing but good experiences with this site UNTIL now. We just realized that they have been milking our credit card ever so slowly and even multiple times a month. The amounts were so small they weren't really noticeable.

Wen called to complain and get a refund and the man talk to her like she was, well, use your imagination. He refused to put his supervisor on the line. He said that the web site said these charges would take place and she was reading the site as he spoke. He said there was a beautiful woman with blond hair on the site and yet there is not. I suppose he was looking at another site.

They quickly offered to refund $25.00 but are refusing to give back ALL the money. There are multiple complaints online. We have contacted Mastercard and they are investigating.

It maybe a scam, but my kids love to sing their songs!

Sign up for their services and then see if you like your kids singing their songs

I love their songs too. The guy that sings them is the "beautiful blond" on their site.

I have $102.65 unauthorized charges on my credit card.

Check your statements if you have EVER used free credit report dot com... look for CIC Triple Advantage on your credit card statement. That's them. SCAM!

Not sure which part is a scam --- the ads clearly state that "Enrollment in Triple Advantage required." The very first statement on their website, below the guitar dude, is

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

When you order your free report here, you will begin your free trial membership in Triple AdvantageSM Credit Monitoring. If you don't cancel your membership within the 7-day trial period*, you will be billed $14.95 for each month that you continue your membership.

That should have sent red flags popping all over...

It didn't say that back in October. But I did cancel my account after my 7 days trial.

I understand, Cats, but best advice to all: NEVER allow anyone to dip into your account, credit or checking, without having to go through you each and every single time to do it. I know that's the old-days attitude, but without it, you get old-days rooked.

Totally agree. I REFUSE to agree to these deals where the mortgage company or power company or whatever automatically debit my bank account every month. All it takes is some guy in their fulfillment center in Bangladesh pushing the zero key on his keyboard one too many times, and you get your bank account wiped out.

At the bank today their commercial came on. i mentioned it to the tellers and they knew all about the scam.

will they get your spoken word each time??

The other day I forgot about paying a bill, so it was late they called me wanted to set up payment by phone so i did it. If I did it no late fee.. She wanted me to set it up each mt, so I would not be late. I ask would you call me each mt to ok it, they told me no, they would just take it out of my bank each mt. I told her NO. I would forget to put it in my check book each mt it was coming out.
