    I think the problem is there isn’t any law protecting your data

      And that’s a huge problem. Only form of protection I have is freezing my credit with the three credit reporting assholes. I know it’s not much, but at least no one can apply for shit with my social.

        It actually gives you quite a bit of protection. If you don’t have a open credit they can’t open cards in your name.

        Just remember it is frozen

          I do have 5 cards already, two cars and a mortgage. I just hope that whomever they call will ask for more info beside only the SSN. I have some companies nowadays like Amazon send me a text message for verification.
