THE SCAMMERS ARE BACK … THIS TIME TO TRY TO GET YOUR PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION AFTER THE BREACH BY HACKERS AT EQUIFAX. JAMES HALLINAN WITH THE NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE SAYS THEIR STRATEGY IS TO CALL PEOPLE AND SAY THEY’RE FROM EQUIFAX, THEN ASK FOR THE PERSON’S PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION. HALLINAN SAYS EQUIFAX WILL NEVER DO THAT.
CHECK TO SEE IF YOU’VE BEEN IMPACTED BY GOING TO THE A-G’S WEB SITE. HALLINAN SAYS OVER 800-THOUSAND NEW MEXICANS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED.
ATTORNEY GENERAL HECTOR BALDERAS HAS JOINED OTHER STATES TO PROTEST EQUIFAX’S POLICY OF CHARGING YOU FOR SOME CREDIT MONITORING SERVICES AFTER THE SECURITY BREACH … CAUSED BY THE FIRM’S OWN MISTAKES.
