I got that email also today. Accessed my CSID account and found out I have no alerts - which is a good thing. On your account page you can add credit card #'s, bank account #'s, and email accounts to be monitored in addition to your SSN.

Will that make the csid site a one-stop-shop for Beijing to capture everything they missed?

FYI-
I am a union rep, and in the last week- three other employees- all new in the last two years- have had their j.p. Morgan government credit card suddenly show up with false charges to locations in Oklahoma and Missouri- places they were not.
Better start checking your government credit card statements and accounts in real time every week- just in case.

I’m glad others have gotten that e-mail. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could actually see “your CSID identity protection report” and find out what changed to prompt the bot to send the e-mail? Would not one have thought that the e-mail could come from the address in the original notification?
James, thanks for that info. Sporadically over the past several years coworkers have had fraudulent charges on both purchase and travel cards. I will pass the info along to increase the usual vigilance. Were they purchase cards, travel cards or both? Mainly just curious about that.
The reason for asking is that I have not used my travel card for over five years and am not in the habit of checking the balance. Since JP Morgan/Chase no longer sends out paper bills and since they claim they keep losing my work e-mail address (which has not changed in over 18 years) I suppose I better start checking that weekly. I did not get notified of a balance due when I last travelled and am likely still on someones “deadbeat list”. I have tried to get rid of the thing several times over the years but apparently JP Morgan has some juice somewhere in the US government. No more than Concur, whoever they are and in the past Wagonlit. Different issue for a different time.
Thanks RMI for the lifelock link. They have a rather checkered past and IMHO you can do what they do by calling the three credit agencies and your credit card companies and anyone else you do cyber business with. SSA.gov, IRS.gov, state tax agency, OPM.gov etc. Make sure your e-mail address is really yours at the .gov and state agencies.
Checks? We write them every month in spite of pleas from companies to please give them access to bank accounts.

Yeah, I got a recent 'alert' but when I checked my account everything was fine. Maybe they send out 'alerts' on a schedule even if there's nothing new to report? Dunno for sure.
