This is a fraudulent way to add trade lines to your credit report, since the trade lines are basically rented to get a loan, and they are not truly yours. It has been noticed by the mortgage industry, at least, and there are safeguards. It is easy enough for you to obtain four tradelines (stores, affinity cards) on your own and keep them paid up on time and so to build your credit rating as time passes.
