They said that it was to prevent Indentity Theft.
Has anyone else experience this?
Yes. When I opened mine a couple of days ago. After entering my ss# and other information a page came up with several "facts" about my credit. I had to confirm them from multiple choice answers.
It's almost scary what they can "get" on you in a matter of seconds!
