PSA before I start, go to www.familytreenow.com/optout and opt out. That site has way too much personal info. I'd opt out your family members too. Anyone can see your addresses and families info.
i got a text a couple days ago from my bank (USAA) giving me a temporary pin, then two more saying my debit card has been removed from my mobile devices. I knew t wasn't me so I called USAA and froze my account. Someone had called in saying they were me and had enough info to get in. They failed a few of the items and they still let them in and start changing stuff.
USAA has been good helping me get everything set back up and requires certain things now for my account.
So my questions are has anyone had any experience with ID theft, and lessons learned, services they have signed up for, is Lifelock worth it? Anyone using Lifelock or similar services and think it's worth it?
I am sure my info is out there because of the breaches in our fine government and their systems. I did sign up for the IDCare service provided after one of the breaches, but is that enough?
