Piggybacking

[LondonBroil]

Met up with my parents in Virginia last month and they mentioned something about becoming real estate moguls. They didn't go into too much detail about it but mentioned it involved something like lending out their credit report, something something something. Gullible is a harsh word, but they've always been kind of "not very well-read" in the whole "finances" department and my dad always thinks he's found some way to make him rich and retire next week.

So yesterday I'm browsing around and I see this:

and am pretty sure this is what they're doing.

I'm not sure if I should feel concerned or impressed. Would any of you try something like this? Should I try this?
