When I was at work today, my mother got a fake letter from Equifax saying they need more information to process a request for credit monitoring (she got it for free after the big credit breach). She called this number, and from what she told me, they only asked for her SSN and then told her they would handle the rest.
I went to the identity theft sticky, which I have been to in the past because of other scares. I froze her credit and the big three, including Innovis and ChexSystems. I froze it in less than 8 hours after she gave her information away.
I am wondering what I should be looking out for other than her credit reports, and if there is anything else I can do. Her identity isn't stolen, yet. But it is definitely in very bad hands.
Any advice would be helpful. I am very stressed right now.
