I actually had two fake credit card apps in July and August. They had my correct name and social... I put alerts on all my credit reports for 90 days but haven't filed a police report yet, required for the seven year fraud protection.

Out of the 10 SSNs I checked (family, folks, grandparents etc)  6 were hacked. 5 were given a future date to finish enrolling. 1 was allowed to partially enroll.




       Annoying to feel pressured to keep on top of all these SSNs and activity.

It said based on yada yada we think you were compromised or something and then let me partially enroll and said to wait for an email.

Wow.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
