Generally I'm paid to protect my customers from fraud scams. Does
that include fraud scams that are advertised on TV? The Experian/Free
Credit Report is such a scam and I was personally ripped off by them
and I'm thinking about blocking their email. What they do isn't any
different than a 419 nigerian scam.
I have them blocked here because they have sent me two totally
unsolicited emails that got through hostkarma whitelist. They were
on my dubious list because of stories I've heard about them. This
places them on my specific blacklist. This is a particularly large
problem given their large position in the credit reporting industry.
I rate than as Foxes running the hen house.

This is a tricky decision. What they Free Credit Report / Experian is
doing is fraudulent. Although they aren't stealing they way phishers
are, just because they aren't just as bad. In fact I suspect they rip
off far more people than phishers do. I'm thinking about black listing
them but if I do it will block them on everyone who uses the hostkarma
blacklist. It's a decision like the Google in China decision. These
people are really evil. But they are entrenched in government protection.
