I believe it is because most people dont know how to see if a site is safe or not.. A few tips to find out if the site you`re on is actually safe; as you want your information to be safe; look in the address bar. It should say "https" and not "http". "Http" means Hypertext Transfer Protocol while "https" means Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. Furthermore, look for the SSL secured site logo.

Of course, the "free" credit report ends up being $30 after a 2-hour trial.

Beware that most legitimate companies will not email you, or telephone for that matter, asking to clarify your personal details!
