    That site is trying to sell something, to get you to enroll in their service, so I doubt if its on the level.

    It seems like junk mail to me and asks for lots of personal information that I would never put online. If you info is not stolen yet, probably would be risking that.

    Check out this Slashdot article that says the Equifax hack-checking site is returning random results.

    Hmmm... What DO people talk about when sitting around the hangar? Perhaps a wide variety of subjects?

    How many could buy an Airplane or aviation parts if they loss their credit rating or Identity? But Like Randy states, if you look at Hangar talk and what is allowed, why is this not a good topic or any topic not a good topic for this forum? Under hangar talk I could speak about anything, its called hangar talk. These conversations do not have to be aviation related.

    But I ask, why do you believe you need to police this forum?
