It wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be another angle to get you to sign up to the 'free' credit report scam, that turns out to be far short of free, and it's mentioned elsewhere on this site being used in conjunction with bogus flat rental offers.
Referrers get a fee for directing people to sign up for a personal credit report, which is touted as being free, but they ask for your credit card details, and you can guess what happens next.
Anyone wanting to pay for a credit report is free to do so, though you should always be careful who you hand your card details to, and even some respectable companies can have some pretty unsavoury habits, but the minute you are asked to do it for something that is offered as being free, you should walk away, at high speed.
