In our dog-eat-dog capitalist system "free" almost always implies a scam of some sort.

Indeed I was reading just a little while ago here on DU of collections agents working as hospital employees in the ER with access to medical records.

I damn sure don't want collections agents reading my medical files, particularly if those files are related to mental health.
