- I placed a 90 day fraud alert on my credit right after the Equifax breach. They even sent confirmation of the fraud alert. Then I was able to open a new line of credit with only my SSN without any warning and all 3 bureaus allowed it to be added to my credit report. The fraud alert did nothing. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/753a4r/i_placed_a_90_day_fraud_alert_on_my_credit_right/ 9 comments personalfinance
