Comments:
I have noticed that all of these "free credit report" television commercials have TWO email addresses, but it is never explained "why". Specifically, at the top of the graphic on tv, it invites an e-mail to "FreeCreditReport.Com". (No number before the "dot".) At the bottom of the graphic, usually in the lower right-hand corner of the tv screen, it will show "FreeCreditReport34.com"; or "FreeCreditReport7.Com"; or some other number is inserted. I am not super computer-literate, but I suspect these are 2 different entities or that the one WITH the number is somehow different than the one without the number. WHATEVER the reason, it is not explained and could be deceptive or misleading. It should be explained or stopped, in my opinion.
