FICO - FAKO what the heck?

If you purchase your credit score directly from EQ, it is a genuine FICO-based score.

I have noticed this to be the case as well.  Both of my scores: FICO EQ and EQ from their website are identical.  But of course my EQ from TC is in another world.

Correct... EQ is the only CRA that offers a FICO.

What about the TransUnion FICO score products offered at TU Consumer Solutions?

Interesting.. I thought that site no longer existed.. yes, this is also a FICO (TU FICO only though).

If that site offers TU Fico scores, then I guess the score I bought directly through TU when I got my annual free report is also a TU Fico score, and the TC score is a TU FAKO score?   Does that sound right?

Nope. I know it's confusing.. but unless you used that exact link above you bought a FAKO.
