Beware Scams On New Free Credit Reports

Consider calling 1-877-322-8228 for the free credit report you're entitled to under new federal law, instead of ordering it online at www.annualcreditreport.com. If you type the Web address wrong, you could end up at a fake site designed by scam artists who will either charge you for the free report or "phish" for your social security and bank account number.
