Because I hate these clickbait titles: the author plays phone-go-round, calls four numbers, waits on hold a bunch, gets disconnected, and eventually gets transferred to an "agent" that ends up being a busy tone.

All that was accomplished was that he placed an automated fraud alert, even though his original question was whether or not he was affected by the Equifax breach.

Not click bait at all. The article gives all the phone numbers including the "magical" phone number at the end to get the 90 fraud alert ( 1-800-525-6285 ) including the advise to not make any noise on this call.
The article is fine, the headline is clickbait: "Click to see what the hell this article is about!"
