Just like some many others, I too fell for the free credit report scam. I thought that I would get the initial report and then cancel the services right away to avoid charges.
I sent them several emails saying that I desired to cancel the service. I did at least get a credit report from one of the big 3 companies (Experian).
30 days after my transaction I received my credit card bill showing I was billed $5.00 and then it showed a $79.95 fee in October and subsequently $9.95 for the past two months. I have attempted to contact the company several times and called their 1-800-220-2626 number and all I got was a voicemail about buying gold coins.
My credit card company is sending me the paperwork for disputing the charges made by CIC Credit Monitoring and hopefully I can soon resolve this issue.
This company is a flat out scham and the California or Federal authorities should take them down. I am seriously considering calling the Secret Service and see if they can help.
