Am I going to get another free year of credit monitoring?

Awesome. Wow. 🙃

I feel like I get another free year every year from different companies.

I don't even check anymore. I get a credit / "your info was found on the dark web!" Email literally every week, what's the point. I've been fucked by giga corps and I have nothing to show for it besides weekly notifications of my compromised info

My favorite is when I get emailed by “hackers” who have one of my old passwords. 🤣

That reminds me.. I need to renew my ñortõn antiviral softwares for $499.99

Dude that's totally a scam. I'll do it for only $399.99 but I also need your mother's maiden name and your favorite book for some reason.

The best (worst) part is that they almost always just point you to the ways that you can already request your credit report and monitoring for free from the credit bureaus. 🥲

And the best part of that is, who ever authorized these credit bureaus to monitor and maintain your credit info in the first place. (Spoiler alert: no one.) And they get hacked every other year anyway.

I think I've gotten 3 or 4 so far this year. All or almost all from medical facilities/services.

Really takes the sting right out of your raw asshole when they give you one of those coupons don't it?
