Received a letter today from EX saying they'd received a request for personal information that was not deemed to be by me thereby, the request was labeled suspicious.
I have a bk and foreclosure on my record.
Would a PI (private investigator) try to do something like pull my credit without my knowing? Or... I'm a little nervous.
Starting Score: 588
Just did what you suggested on Experian's site to begin with. This was posted on their site:
Fraudulent letters and emails claiming to be from Experian
March 18, 2010
Experian is aware of an ongoing scam in which consumers are receiving emails from an entity claiming to be “Experian Credit Services, Consumer Fraud Division, in partnership with Lifelock, Inc.”
The email claims that someone has been trying to open multiple lines of credit in the consumer’s name and asks the consumer to click on a link to resolve the matter. Consumers need to be aware that this is a fraudulent request and is not in any away associated with Experian. Investigators from Experian's Global Security Office are working with the appropriate parties to uncover the source of these fraudulent emails.
