T-Mobile Home Internet Community
I joined the T-Mobile Home Internet Community in early March and received a couple of emails asking for feedback which I gave but recently when I click on the link from the email Norton puts up an er...
Hey folks! I talked to some of our Insights teams about the Home Internet Community. This is a legit program that we use to gather feedback by engaging directly with customers. It is only available by invitation and participants are selected randomly.
We appreciate everyone being on guard against phishing threats. That is why I wanted to talk to our peeps and make them aware of what you all see and how you feel. I am glad that I was able to confirm 100% that the T-Mobile Home Internet Community is a T-Mobile owned thing and safe to use.
All opinions are appreciated and valued, so if you didn’t get an invite to join that community, please continue to ask your questions, spread your knowledge, and share your experiences with us in this amazing Support Community.
I've had my info stolen 3 times (that I know of), twice thanks to a big health insurance co. and once thanks to the credit agency itself that was hacked a few years ago. That led to congress making them (Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union) allow consumers to freeze and unfreeze their credit files free of charge. Yes congress does do something for their constituents sometimes, instead of bickering mostly. To help to safe guard your information, here are a few suggestions I use. YMMV of course.
- Never click on a link in an email or a text msg. Go to the website yourself, or call, and verify the link is real.
- Don't link your bank account to a company, any company, T-Mobile PayPal, Amazon, or anyone. Use a C/C or a separate checking account, just for that company with just enough money in it to cover the monthly bill. I prefer using my bank's bill pay service. Yes you have to sit down once a month, but it's quick and safe with a good paper trail. It works well with T-Mobile too, but no auto pay discount, but i sleep better so it's worth the extra $5.00 to me.
- If you don't require many credit checks then freeze your credit at the 3 credit agencies, it's easy to set up accounts with each and a snap to freeze and unfreeze your file as needed, and for how long. With the files frozen, even with all your info, a bad guy can't establish credit in your name because the vendor can't run your credit.
