I might be missing something, what do you mean by "the real version is answering randomly"?

- SketchySeaBeast 9y agoIf you entered gibberish into the site, it seems it would randomly tell you if you were compromised or not. https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/08/psa-no-matter-what-you-write-equifax-may-tell-you-youve-been-impacted-by-the-hack/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/08/psa-no-matter-what-you-wri...

- m3andros 9y agoBehold! Today's National Gibberish Day.
- SketchySeaBeast 9y agoInternational Gibberish Day - they still haven't even made an effort to identify those in Canada and the UK who were affected. It's a whole world of nonsense.
- bionsuba 9y agoSince this signs you up for their ID protection, doesn't this count as fraud?
- SketchySeaBeast 9y agoJust like everything else in regards to this issue - who knows? It's a noisy mess, and the only thing we can be sure of is that it's going to be a never-ending nightmare for a lot of people through absolutely no fault of their own, requiring constant vigilance for the rest of their lives, and the system that built and continues to support this monster isn't going away any time soon.
- throwaway613834 9y agoDoes it? I thought it just tells you if you're compromised.
- mikeash 9y agoFraud is basically lying for profit. There's no profit in putting gibberish into this form, so it's just lying.
- breakingcups 9y agoI think GP means fraud on Equifax's end (by telling you you are compromised even though they shouldn't be able tot ell you that since tha data is fake) to get you to bey into their protection service.
- mikeash 9y agoI hadn't thought of that. If they're lying to get you to sign up for a paid service then that does indeed seem like pretty blatant fraud.
