I received this email I tried to follow link to inform them I did not give out this information then I went to Equifax.com and tried to contact them via email but was unable to login so I have no way to let them know what is going on. What should I do? Do I just delete the emails or report them and to who? Oh yea they did respond to my email with a phone number for me to call
The best rule of thumb is to just not open any emails from people or email addresses you’re not familair with. And if it includes an attachment, just go ahead and delete it.
You can report fraudulent emails to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
You can review some more tips to stop spam.
Thank you frank for your input. Please try not to include links included in the spam emails as we wouldn’t want to promote their tactics.
