I use Quidco, it's great, have earnt about £150 in cashback from just buying stuff I would normally over the past 4-5 months!
So one of the things I got cashback on was a free trial to CreditExpert. Checked out the reviews and found that they are easy to cancel with (if you go over the trial you get charger of course). So I went ahead and signed up.
A few weeks later, I rang up to cancel, no hassle. The only bother was that they did not send out the confirmation emaiul to say that your trial has been cancelled, which is reassuring to have! I even rang up a second time to confirm.
So the trial ran out yesterday, no charges or anything so all is good. Untill today, when I get an email titled:
"CreditExpe
Great....
The email then goes on:
"We’ve detected a change to your credit report that you should check. If you weren’t responsible for this change, it could be a possible indicator of identity fraud."
Like hell, the day after my trial ran out????? To obvious I'm afraid CreditExpert.
So I clicked on to login, just to see what happened, sure enough, I was linked straight through to my saved debit card details, just one click away from paying £7.99 to see the "alert", ha!
I will of course be ignoring the message, very irritating that they would try something on like that though. Would love to know what fake alert they concoct if you were to pay etc
