I was watching VH1 yesterday, the Top 20, lol. In the middle of a ten minute stretch of commercials I see one about FreeTriple3.com.

They boast offering you credit report information from “ALL THREE BUREAU’S!” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

So I wrote the name of the website down and decided I’d check it out when I got a second.

Today I got a second and here’s what I saw…

So I decided to check out where the site comes from, how long it’s been up, etc.
The details are enlightening.

The summary is that the site has been active since January 2007, out of Omaha, Nebraska and registered through January 2010. Moderate investment of time there for your good old run of the mill, charge you for free information company.

Here’s a snippet of info on the site:
