Guys I got a scam alert, it's not any GPT site in General but Experian's free credit report which is offered by most GPT sites. I already posted this on the CashCrate forums because that is my #1 site so I will just copy/paste the same post.

"To start here is a little bit of information.
"Experian, (parent company of CIC TripleAdvantage), has been forced to give up $1.25 million in what the FTC calls "ill-gotten" gains. They have also settled multiple class action lawsuits. Despite these actions, their business practices have changed very little."

Don't let them get away with it. Make sure the FTC hears your story.
So like probably alot of other people I signed up and did the Free Credit Report offer. Well this is a SCAM! This information on there is generally INCORRECT but, wait! Here's the real kicker.

Like most sites with free trials you put in your CC information and if you don't like the service, you cancel it. Well I canceled my service with FreeCreditReport.com only to find today they had billed me for $12.00. After doing some quick research on Google.com I found that they are running a BILLION DOLLAR SCAM! It shows up as "CIC*TRIPLE ADVANTAGE" on your bank statement with a phone number next to it.

Well after I called and talked to some lady she said they had never cancelled
my account (wtf?) and that is why it was billed. I than proceeded to tell her that I DID call and cancel my account, she asked for who I talked to.
I don't know about anyone else but when I cancel something and am DIRECTLY told that it is canceled I beleive them, guess I'm a fool.

Anyways! She told me that she cancelled my service (again..) and they did NOT want to refund my $12.00. By this time I am getting pretty irate because I work for my money, I don't run scams. Well I ended telling her that I am sitting AT MY COMPUTER reading how they have scammed millions of dollars doing exactly what they did to me. Once I revelealed this information the conversation changed quite quickly from, "We can't refund your money" to a "Well........................... I'm not authorized to do this BUT I am refunding your money."

Well I'm not sure how long these transactions take but I than immediatly called Washington Mutual (my bank) and they said there has been no refund credited and to report a dispute. Well I am going to give it 2 days and if there is no refund I am calling and making a dispute aswell as going down to my local police department to file some sort of report.

Anyways.. Well see if I get billed next month and if they even refund my money. Here's my suggestions to you: IF YOU DO THIS OFFER MAKE SURE TO CALL THEM (DON'T EMAIL) AND GET THE PERSONS NAME AND MAKE SURE YOUR ACCOUNT IS CANCELLED EVEN THOUGH YOU WILL STILL PROBABLY GET BILLED. IF THEY DO THIS TO YOU, YOU *HAVE* TO CALL AND TELL THEM YOU KNOW IT IS A SCAM AND YOU AREN'T GOING TO SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN YOUR MONEY BACK!
Here is several sources I pulled up if anyone wants to take a gander.

So be careful out there, I'm getting a prepaid visa today for online offers like this instead of using my Debit Card.
Please respond especially if you have had the same experience.

Here is a legitimate link to Free Credit Reports:

www.annualcreditreport.com This is not a link to a "Paid-to-Try" offer.
This is a link to getting Free credit reports from all 3 credit reporting companies(Expedia, TransUnion, Experian)...You are allowed 1 Free credit report per year from each company.

You can get the report online, or by mail. There is no charge at all, unless you want your Credit Score. There is an extra charge for that.

I got reports from 2 Credit Reporting companies, and did not want my credit score; so, I paid nothing for the reports.

So, if you seriously want a Free copy of your credit report, use the link above...Do not go through any of the Paid-to-try" offers on any of the GPT site; you know those will not be free, or the companies would not ask for your Crecit Card info.
