Don’t Take Equifax Up On Its Credit Monitoring Offer
As anyone able to tear themselves away from hurricane bulletins last week knows, credit reporting bureau Equifax shared the news that the personal information of 143 million Americans was compromised earlier this year. Yet while plenty of companies, including Equifax itself, are happy to give or sell you credit monitoring services after such a massive breach, that doesn’t mean you should take them up on it.

This to me is a scam and should be investigated. When OPM was hacked the offer was just the opposite - up to $1 million if you have been affected.
Logging into a site that has been recently hacked, with the last 6 digits of your SSN, plus your full name just doesn't seem too smart.
If they didn't get you then...
I think it is just a scam to get you to sign up for their credit monitoring that they will charge you for after the initial free period.
Creditkarma.com is always free.
Just got a call after 9 this evening wanting me to verify my phone number that they had already called me on about credit hacking. HELLO....I don't think I called you first. NOT!!!
Just SUE them for loosing YOUR Data !!!!
