There’s an email claiming to offer free credit reports. If the recipient clicks on the link in the email, it goes to (https://www.gofreecredit.com/eq-free-score/). This site is not authorized by the FTC as a credit reporting service. This site is a scam that is out to collect people’s personal information to be used for unlawful activities and possibly identity theft.
The domain is listed on several blacklists, including Spacequad AntiSpam Services.
http://www.spacequad.com
The site also sneaks in charges when you sign up for free without the customers consent or knowledge. The site has a poor reputation by the Web of Trust community which can be viewed by visiting http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/gofreecredit.com.

From: office05950@peakas.info (not related to the domain which makes it suspect as a scam)
Don’t fall victim to these free credit report scams! There’s only one credit reporting site authorized by the FTC to provide such services in addition to the three reporting agencies and that’s Free Annual Credit Reports at AnnualCreditReport.com.

Thanks for sharing. Do you know if these emails are making it around spam filters (e.g. gmail filters etc.)?
Jason,
Most are making it into the inbox, only because the scammers use new email accounts and new domains to scam users.
