FYI for those wondering, the website OP provides is the official free credit report website set up by the federal government. If you need to put in your credit card info to a "free" credit report site, it's not free. I personally use this website, creditkarma.com, and my Chase account offers the same information for free.

I'm that way too. I've run into some pretty famous people and just think 'neat!' and don't approach them. They just want to get on their flight no need to pester them.

That's actually awesome.

Sure! They make their money mostly from recommending credit cards for your credit profile. The card issuers will pay Credit Karma to have their cards featured. Another user also suggested they sell user data, which I wouldn't be surprised by. Otherwise, it's safe and secure and definitely not a scam. They don't ask for credit card information. I wish I could find a link but the CEO of Credit Karma is an active Redditor and has responded to posts about their business in the past.

Edit: apparently Credit Karma DOES NOT sell your information.
