Anybody else get this email?
I just received an email from Equifax Breach Settlement Administrator regarding my claim which I faintly recall submitting a couple years ago as part of one of those class action things. The settlement offers free for 4 years something called Experian IdentityWorks Membership. This includes:
• Daily Credit Monitoring* from each of the three nationwide Consumer Reporting Agencies showing key changes to your Consumer Reports;
• Automated alerts when new accounts are opened; inquiries or requests for credit reports are made for the purpose of determining credit; changes to address; and negative information (including delinquencies or bankruptcies);
• On-demand online access to a copy of your Experian Consumer Report, updated monthly;
• Automated non-credit alerts, using public or proprietary data sources, for example: when certain information is found on suspicious website or the “dark web”; when names, aliases, and addresses have been associated with your Social Security Number; when a payday loan or unsecured credit has been taken or opened using your Social Security Number; when your information matches information in arrest or criminal court records; when your information is used for identity authentication; when your mail has been redirected through the U.S. Postal Service; when banking activity is detected related to new deposit account applications, changes to personal information, and new signers are added to accounts; and when a balance is reported on your credit line that has been inactive for at least six months;
• Up to One Million in Identity Theft Insurance** which provides coverage for certain costs and unauthorized electronic fund transfers;
• A customer service center to assist with enrollment, monitoring alerts, disputes, fraud, and other Credit Monitoring Service questions;
• Full Identity Restoration Service if you are the victim of fraud or identity theft (which includes a dedicated identity theft restoration specialist who will provide you with step-by-step assistance, and form letters to contact companies, government agencies, and Consumer Reporting Agencies), and
• Child Monitoring Services (for Class Members under the age of eighteen).
I'm not entirely sure this is legit, but seems like a decent deal versus a check for a few bucks.
