It is interesting to note that the following domain
name:

annualcreditreport.com

is a Domains by Proxy domain.

Apparently it is owned by (from the site):

"AnnualCreditReport.com is a centralized service for consumers to 
request annual credit reports. It was created by the three nationwide 
consumer credit reporting companies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion."

There is a link to it directly
from the ftc.gov site, so it must be true, right?

..as well as many other authoritative sites.
