Nearly half of all Americans are a victim of the recent Equifax breach, but the Christian County TRIAD doesn’t want you to become a victim of the breach again. There is already a new phone scam as people posing that they are from Equifax.

Rich Peters and Brian Hile with the Christian County TRIAD program both appeared as guests on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show. Peters says Equifax has already announced that they are not calling people about the breach.

Peters says there is a simple way to check to see if you have been impacted by the breach.

Peters says he was a victim of the Equifax breach. He says any victim should call one of the three credit reporting agencies and put a fraud alert on their account. He says you only need to call one agency and the other two will be notified.
