The people who got themselves hacked want you to trust them with 10 years of free credit monitoring. But that’s not all. Ocasio Cortez stepped in to help, also. Yay.

Credit ‘Monitoring’
Who the F do you think runs the shit?
A Central Repository for Date Miners.
Just like Telephone Registries.
Who notices their telemarketing increase after providing the Gov with their Data?
Who notices Junk Mail increase (or START!!!) after filling out a GOV Change of Address card?
Yep. The USPS sells your Data.
A major hidden scam nobody has addressed.
Experimental Equations:
What would happen if, in the course of moving, and filling out a Post Office change of address card and in the rush of getting things done it wasn’t noticed that your name had 2 obvious mistakes in spelling but was submitted to the U.S. Government Post Office for delivery of mail at your new address.
What would it indicate if within 2 weeks, Junk Mail from the Central Data miner companies started arriving addressed to your misspelled name?
Makes ya go hmmmmmmmmm
AARP is behind most of this. They send me $30 worth of crap mail every month and I’ve never used ’em….not once.
Put AARP in charge of finding all illegals and felons. They already know where they are and these felons/illegals don’t buy insurance….
Why isn’t the word ‘liability’ mentioned?
At best, they are offering a means to observe fraud that was enabled through their lack of security. If such fraud should occur, they would be accomplices to it. They need to assume, or be assigned if not willing, liability. They are doing nothing to prevent or correct any fraudulent use of their data- they are merely giving away the ability to observe it. After it was attempted, or it actually happened. And it will happen.
Yeah they told us the same crap when it happened here in SC. The Dept of Revenue had 387K credit and debit card numbers hacked in 2012. 4 years later they were still working on fixing it but it was more important to take the flag and any statues down because, priorities.
By taking the money, monitoring, or even doing nothing, you forfeit the right to bring litigation against Equifax for misuse of your data. You have to specifically preserve your right to sue in writing under the terms of the class action.
And here we have Cotex spreading her bloody (British inf.) self where she doesn’t belong yet again.
This is an institution everyone is forced to rely on for credit rating information. Still, you might be hacked again just by signing up for compensation. Not worth it. Another never ending security breach.
Screw it. I took the $125. My wifes data wasn’t affected. I’m gonna use it for fishing & beer.
My credit is so shitty that if some dumbass hacker tries to use my info it will lower THEIR fucko scores! 😆
Here’s the dirty little secret nobody will tell you. Trash your credit, declare bankruptcy and never use it again. Then nobody will steal your data that obviously the credit rating agencies can handle.
Besides, why be a part of some mainstream debauchery that rates your self worth on how much you owe. Screw them, I no longer comply with the notion that you need credit.
Take the money.
Also, refuse to do on-line banking or other financial or legal transactions except for shopping with a low-limit credit card.
We froze everything under all three credit monitoring companies and now we can’t open up an account or buy a car without unlocking.
Pain in the ass.
