You might be right but I dunno. Did the Experian leak a few years ago cause a spike in identity fraud? I think like 200 million people’s SSN and other PII was leaked at that time. I almost felt like it (kind of) didn’t matter because if everyone’s info is out there, why would any specific individual be more of a target than others?
Interesting. I had some weirdo states away filing claims on my health insurance. (Btw insurance company aggressively didn’t care and treated me like I was weird for reporting it, then ultimately said they’d never address it and it was on me to call the provider to dispute it, as if I should care more about their money getting stolen than they do) Never quite figured out how or why that happened, I guess it somehow could be due to the Experian leak.
As far as fraudulent charges, I’ve always had those. Probably once every year or two at minimum a random charge I had nothing to do with shows up. I don’t think it’s increased.
