A friend just sent me an email asking if the following was real or not. It appears to be another Phishing attempt from what I have been able to learn by googling about it.
This is most likely a phishing attempt by a fake credit alert company trying to get you to go to their website and get you to reveal your personal data to them. IF you have any concerns about any changes to your credit, contact TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian directly, the real credit bureau companies... DON'T Click on any link in this email and DON'T bring up that creditalertsystem website. I think this is a hoax, a phishing attempt to get your personal information... Here is what these 3 websites say about this.
This says the IP # is located in Singapore.....

Here is what that email looks like, minus some personal information of my friend taken out... There are some clickable links in the email that I have taken out.
