Another Consumer Scammed By FreeCreditReport.com

At the risk of being disemvoweled - in plain type, on the main page of ferrcreditreport.com, in a prominent box, no less, it says:
"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."

If you can't be bothered to read the fine print, at least READ THE NORMAL PRINT!

And to reiterate what others have said - if you have to give your credit card info, chances are it's not "free".
