Nationalize this, pal
Something claiming to be the “Federal Credit Bureau” — and wouldn’t that be lovely? — dropped the following on me:
Your Credit Score decreased to 600. You need to download your credit history file from Federal Credit Bureau website and carefully review it. Use your personal hyperlink.
Said hyperlink begins with www.fcb.org, but then dissolves into a whole string of stuff that goes, um, somewhere else.
And amusingly, this thing was addressed to “deborahn” at this domain. Now I never met a Deborah I didn’t like, but I’ve never been one of them.

Hey Chaz,
Don’t you love it when jerks parade as federal agencies? I guess their research shows that any tom, dick or deborah is dumb enough to fall for the idea that they could just pull your credit score. Cripes.
Anyway, just dropped by to say Merry Christmas.

People have been spooked by FICO; the combination of FICO and the Feds is enough to strike fear into many hearts.
Now when I start getting Viagra ads from the Department of Homeland Snugglery, I’ll get suspicious.
