Credit Pfishing Scam Alert

Recommended Posts

Glenda and I have both been exposed to recent credit breaches, the latest through our Medical System. We have been provided with a free Equifax Credit Monitoring account for two years.

Today Glenda received a Text Alert, supposedly from Equifax,    (EQUIFAX ALERT!)     stating that her Credit Score had just dipped by 51 points!  It asked her to click on a link "for more info" to explore. She brought it to me to discuss. The link was.......... HTTP....noortimer.com/T42 (mis-typed on purpose). Be aware, this is indeed a well-known scam. Looked it up on the internet. BUT, since it said it was from Equifax, had her name and phone number, there was a strong inclination to trust it. These guys are very good.  But Glenda is highly trained to not click any random links.😉

So just sharing with our Community to prevent anyone here from making this BIG mistake. It was a close one, despite our "training".😎
