Free Credit Scam To Be Killed

Posted: May 26th, 2009 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: business | No Comments »

A good piece of news – the scam run by the operators of “FreeCreditReport.com” will be shut down

For too long, FreeCreditReport.com has taken advantage of a weak consent decree negotiated by the Bush FTC that has let it confuse consumers into buying its over-priced, unneeded subscription credit monitoring product that isn’t free.

FreeCreditReport.com is owned by the douchecans at Experian. Experian is a public company.


Teo’s Family Restaurant

Acting on a suggestion from Tracey’s friend, we decided to go check out Teos Family Restaurant in Pittsfield, MA.

As you can see from the picture, the hot dogs come covered with chili. They are about 1/2 or 3/4 sized, so you can eat a lot of them. Also, they are very reasonably priced at around a dollar a piece.

Tracey and I both had full meals, including beer, and our bill came to under 15 bucks. That’s “family-friendly”.

It looks like they might offer window service at times. This place is located in the middle of a very industrial area and the area seems pretty sketchy. However, I have to say that they were some of the best hot dogs I have had, and I’ve tried New York and Chicago hot dogs.
