Watch Out for the Pirates!

Free stuff is great but as most of us have learned at one time or another usually if something is "free" there are some strings attached. According to a report by the Seattle Times

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2011300727_pfcreditreport14.html

the same is true of the free credit report commercials we have all seen. They say that, "Free isn't free with this guy [the pirate] unless you buy something..."

However, for those of you who have been confused by these somewhat misleading commercials and advertisements good news is on the horizon. Soon all of these ads will be forced to have proper disclosure on the details of getting your "free" report. Things like, "you must buy this service before you'll receive your free report" etc.

But be aware that that is not coming up until September 1st according to the report so in the mean-time be cautious of the pirates (and others) that may try to steal your booty!
