Credit Score?
Credit Score?
Lately (and by that I mean, in the last ~6 months) I've been seeing an exponential increase of "check your credit score" ads. Of course, I wouldn't be giving any personal informations, the least concerning my money, to rainbow colored dinosaurs dancing in an ad on certain dubious websites. I was just wondering why so many websites (is it the same one with different ad layouts?) would decide to suddenly offer this service - and if this applies - where is the crook in it. Do they biaise your score and urge you to buy a certain service? Do they use your personal informations to send you a bunch of publicity?

I am pretty sure it's just a scam to get your personal information and then sell it to other companies.

Economy in the US decided to take up skydiving and now everyone has more debt and less savings, I guess.
Can you hear them?
