Andrew Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 From time to time I click on the ad banners that pop up on this page. I always assumed they were screened by the webmaster before they are put on here? Maybe that is the case, maybe it isn't. Anyways, Out of curiosity I clicked on FREECREDITREPORTINCANADA.COM or something of that nature (thinking it must be a legitimate site and not a bunch of Bull) After doing everything it asked me to, still no credit report, and not a reasonable link to get to it, other than suggesting to go to Equifax. I am kind of disappointed to see such a banner running on this site. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Andrew.... they (fr**cr*ditr*port.c*m) are a joke ... I have read about them on Multiple sites... they are a scam I hope you did not give CC info.... Having said that... Google ads are delivered by words mentioned here... it is called ad-sense.. you mentioning keywords such as you have above cred*t, equif*x, rep*rt etc etc etc are what generate these ads.... Ad-Sense banners are not generated by OFC...they are generated by the content of the posts... Each time a user clicks one however... OFC is paid a few cents. Hope this clears up any confusion about the google ads your seeing. If I remember correctly OFC admin can control the type of ads shown.... and the one you mention is a scam. Just type fr**cr*ditrep*t.com scam into google..... replace the *'s ofcourse. and you will learn their evil ways...

G I wasn't sure if that was the case or not, because I can't really recall seeing ads in the the past that were just total garbage. I guess that going forward no one should be talking about the CREDIT river and it should become the CR*D*T river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
