We received a letter from Change healthcare (CHC) telling us there was major data breach. All our personal information including SSN and driver's license have been taken by the bad guys.
It happens that I have been getting calls from a phone company saying I applied for a phone number. And that phone # has been involved in some unlawful activities.
Putting two things together, I am thinking someone has been using my identity. So I went back to the letter from CHC. There is a number to call to set up identity theft protection services - IDX. I called and they let me set up an account but I need to put all my personal information into that account. I stopped right there.
Is this CHC data breach a real thing? Is IDX a real company? Could this be a complete scam for me to upload all my information into this fake service? Who could you trust?
