"Finally, your basic consumer (read: free) account at Experian does not give users the option to enable any sort of multi-factor authentication that might help stymie some of these PIN retrieval attacks on credit freezes.
Unless, that is, you subscribe to Experian’s heavily-marketed and confusingly-worded “CreditLock” service, which charges between $14.99 and $24.99 a month"
It's great to see theyre taking the knowledge that being hacked doesn't matter and putting it to good use
- yhoneycomb 6y agoThe worst part is if you get a FREE credit report with them, they sign you up for this service without you knowing. I was paying $20/month for the bullshit for about a year before I finally caught in. It's a total scam. Did a google search and found MANY other people complaining about the same thing. Their whole company is a scam.
