Seniors more at risk for identity theft and fraud, Equifax says | cleveland.com
"Remove yourself from mailing lists and prescreened credit offers. Start with calling 1-888-567-8688 or going to OptOutPrescreen.com. You will need to provide your Social Security number."
You can protect your SSN by giving it to somebody else. Thanks for that advice, bucko.
(Look, I’m not trying to say that opt-out service is anything less than genuine, but doesn’t asking for an SSN there just legitimize the very behavior you’re trying to discourage, make it seem OK? Sounds pretty dumb to me.)
