Rant: That $120 credit monitoring service was a total ripoff
I signed up for IdentityForce after the big hospital breach last year, thinking I was being smart. But when my debit card got skimmed anyway, they just pointed to an article about skimming and said 'we alerted you to this risk.' Anyone else find these services are just collecting your data to sell you something else?

Right there with you. I signed up for Experian's paid plan after my info got leaked in that big data breach a few years back, and when my tax refund got stolen, all I got was an automated email with a link to an identity theft guide. It's like they're just collecting your monthly fee to send you generic alerts that don't actually stop anything. They're basically insurance you pay for upfront that still leaves you doing all the cleanup yourself.
