Now I have a grudging respect for Internet scam artists who separate gullible and greedy people from their cash. But who the thinks that there are still dumb @#$%s out there who would still fall for any con that specifically references Nigeria? Not in 2010 for Pete’s sake.

Well, obviously the author of this email that I just got.

This is either a lazy or newbie spammer, and that I can’t tolerate.

Enjoy.

As on the of the big three credit reporting bureaus, Equifax is a household name for borrowers and lenders alike.  Now the agency is getting into the blogging game, despite the obvious stiff competition from dedicated personal finance blogs.

The Equifax Personal Finance Blog launched this week.  There’s been one post per day covering a range of subjects. The site is set up to showcase major topics including credit, insurance, real estate, retirement and taxes.

There appears to be a dedicated author for most categories, and you can read their bios on the site.

This is good information from a trusted name in the credit space and helpful for those looking to get out of debt.  But having a blog may simply be another way for Equifax to get more customers for its various consumer credit products, which include credit scores, identity theft protection and the Debt Wise debt repayment system.

We’ll continue to follow these guys to see how the website develops.
