Interesting.. they take the information on the phone or tell you to
go to their website. A website that by the way does not have a direct
link from experian.com Supposedly this is optoutprescreen.com but
it's registered through GoDaddy and uses a DomainsByProxy shield
so you can't see who registered it. That rings all sorts of bells
for identity theft. If it was a legit business site why would the
contact information have to be hidden?

Perhaps because they contract the service out to a vendor and not do it
in-house? As I recall all they wanted was a mailing address and name,
nothing more personal or useful. In any case it cut the flood of credit
card offers from a few a day to a few a quarter. YMMV.

I went there and they wanted not only my name and address but my SSN
and phone number (unlisted and on the DNC registry).
Since it's possible to contact the credit bureau directly I'll take
that route. Color me parinoid.
