Today, I had a strange message on my voice mail about someone looking for a job. Of course, that wasn't very strange, except I got the same message at my job also, which implies Potential Bad Things(tm). So, I decided to get a credit report, just in case. While searching, I found this interesting site:

• http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/freereports.htm

It's a US government site and it pretty much says you can get three free credit reports every twelve months. Honest free, not the free and if you don't remove us we'll bill you for $9.95 type that you can find by doing a google search for "credit report."

So, I figured I'd remind people that they can get it and it is a pretty good idea to do once in a while.
