I woke up Fourth of July morning to about a dozen texts about loan applications that I needed to complete various processes on. That was followed up by roughly half-a-dozen calls from various personal loan providers. These were small shops that provide those $5000 personal loans, something that I’m not the target customer for. So, we’ve frozen credit, reactivated Lifelock, and are ensuring that we answer all calls, but also handle those calls with caution. I’m pretty sure one of the first salvo of calls was a scammer shop trying to take advantage of the credit chaos. Any other suggestions? I’ve tried antifreeze and it had no effect.
