<prompt> Human: So after the breach they said i might of been exposed so i signed up and then did the credit lock. So a few months later ive been feeling good until today.I was at sears and they offered me a credit card i said no because im locked. The lady said jut try there is a good promo if you get approved. I explained about the lock and she said just try. Sure enough I was approved in less then 10 seconds. WTF are they doing and did anyone else sign up to this bogus service thinking they are Locked protected.note. My identity was not stolen. But if it was they would of just opened a card.Edit. Wow who would of known that the agency that secures our info would do such a crappy job. Now there entire Ill really protect you campaign is just to protect from them. My social is still exposed and they just freeze their portion of the checking. Thanks for the replies guys. Gotta freeze all 3 or I will never be safe. Assistant: This is most likely because it pulled a credit pull from a service not Equifax. Could have pulled from Transunion or Experian.Human: As an uneducated consumer I figured the lock would protect me.  <response>: Dont just assume youre protected when it comes to finances. The fact that youre an uneducated consumer is only because you choose not to educate yourself.
