Working with web scams on an hourly basis, I never paid much attention to those annoying ‘FreeCreditReport.com’ commercials.  They are annoying at best, bait-and-switch at worst.    What I’m happy to see is the Federal Government activly educating people about such ‘services’.

What I found this morning (thanks LinkedIn contacts) was this blog on the ITAC about two new FTC ads regarding services such as the one mentioned above.    You can go there for the source, but since these videos are public, and the FTC is trying to educate people, I’m embedding them here.

Enjoy!
