Oh, you're not stupid. You just got talked into something. Remember, these people do this every day all day. They're professionals. They are called conmen (or conwomen), and the con is from "confidence". They gain your confidence, then you feel better giving them what they're looking for, info. And, now sis may or may not be burned.

You're not stupid, it happens to the smartest people in the world.

And the cutest.

AnnualCreditReport.com is the one that does not start charging you automatically for future reports (ie as FreeCreditReport.com does). Annual...com is the only one mandated by Federal law. And does not have hidden future charges attached to it. But one must ask for that report annually.
