It occurred to me that this could be a scam, itself. Six digits of the SS only leaves three to be guessed.

I have also tried to do what they advise and cannot access and I have sent them a monitoring fee for many years. Very scary. Was this an inside job? Going to my bank today. Have a close relative whose Bank of America Savings was accessed and quite a lot of money was transferred out of his account to an account set up by the thieves. The bank, of course, reimbursed, but someone stole that money from the bank and caused the victim no end of stress as the situation was being handled. The victim now has all kinds of protections, if such a thing is really possible where our assets are just numbers that these internet thieves can figure out how to access. I recommend death to anyone found doing this and, if they are in another country, that whole country needs to become our enemy unless they also put the death penalty in place for this kind of crime.
