Yes, he does, but it was another opportunity to jump on him.

SK> Is annualcreditreport.com a valid site?

Apparently, yes.  That was the reason behind my question - whether posters
here have used the site, as I trust they wouldn't give their SSNs if they
didn't deem it a trustworthy site.

SK> I've never heard of it.

You've probably heard of freecredit.com, if you watch TV.  It isn't free -
this site is.

Why?  It isn't a government site.

Nobody has said to give that info out to any and every site that asks. 
Your jumping on them this way is as unwarranted as their jumping on Ross.
