Fraud or not

posted to the Boing Boing forum by forceblink

The complicated problem of figuring out whether something like this is a scam or not is the fact that Equifax seems to have behaved in some decidedly scammy ways in the past. There needs to be a way to protect yourself without giving up the very same sorts of data that was compromised in the first place, and Equifax needs to stop trying to screw victims over.
