You don't need to embelish your credentials, as it does not add anything to the report. The simple fact is that you DID NOT read the terms of the "free" credit report. It states right on the home page and the page you enter your credit card information in that you are enrolling in a Credit Monitoring Service. It also states that if you do not cancel within a set amount of time your card WILL be charged. From their Home Page --------------------- 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. ConsumerInfo.com, Inc. and Freecreditreport.com are not affiliated with the annual free credit report program. Under a new Federal law, you have the right to receive a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. To request your free annual report under that law, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com. -------------------------- As to what you are calling a "scam" -They state that you are enrolling in a credit monitoring service - Yet you missed that and still signed up. -They sent you e-mails - You just ignored them -They charged you one month - Yet you "assumed" it was something you forgot about so you let it go. -They charged you for 3 months before you noticed enough to investigate. Now, I am by no means an expert who works at a "Major VISA company". But I know enough to not sign anything unless I understand the details. I don't give out my credit card Number unless I am sure of what it is for. I also keep track of my accounts and would not have "assumed" that a mysterious charge was something I forgot about.
