Small rant: Perhaps I’m getting old and cynical, but the entire process through their sites feels a lil sketchy lol
Sure, it requires the basics, along with your SSN and cellphone to receive a text confirmation. Can’t just be me, right?
Anyways, thanks for answering my crazy questions due to my lack of faith in the safety of the internet in the days of SEO’s. 🤣
Yes it feels sketchy but the major credit bureaus already have a file on you regardless. It is a bit of a hassle to do the freezes but the reality is that with so many data beaches out there, someone could easily steal your identity and open up accounts under their name if they wanted. This makes that much harder for them to do.
