Actually, since I'm affected, I got a different message. It's even worse.

They gave me a date in September that I have to remember to come back and sign up for. It's the equivalent of grabbing a ticket in the deli line.

Look at this text: "Please be sure to mark your calendar as you will not receive additional reminders. On or after your enrollment date, please return to faq.trustedidpremier.com and click the link to continue through the enrollment process".

That's enraging. You tell me I'm affected and now I have to come back at some date/time and sign up? At least it has given me the time to read all the comments about waiving class action participation.

How can they justify that? This is 2017. It is stupid easy for them to send out reminders, once a day if need be.

At what point do we finally tell abusive companies like this that they're no longer allowed to be a company?

I got the same message, but nowhere did I read "you have been affected". Is this just implied?

I cancelled my Equifax credit watch account about 5 months ago, when they decided to raise rates.

Never have I hoped so much for a business to be sued out of existence. And hopefully their inside traders will get jail time (yeah, right).

It wasn't implied for me. I put in my SSID (6 digits) and last name. It then told me:

" Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information may have been impacted by this incident."

It then had some button, I forgot what the button said. This led to the screen about "save the date" for protection.

I got the same message plus "Click the button below to continue your enrollment in TrustedID Premier." The button said "Enroll" so I stopped there.

When I entered my info I got a message saying they do not think I'd been affected by the hack. So if you get a different message, its probably safe to assume you're affected.

Same situation, same experience, same level of outrage. Sign me up for the class.
