"Free credit report" is not so free

The Instapundit draws our attention to this, in the NY Times: The High Cost of a 'Free Credit Report.' Shorter version: the only site where you actually get a free credit report is AnnualCreditReport.com. The "Free Credit Report Dot Com" (I can hear that jingle) version signs you up for a $14.95 per month credit-monitoring service.

I saw that. I'd say "I can't believe people get suckered in by that" but I can. They go out of their way to hide stuff.
