I did!
It says my account was "compromised". I'm wondering if this is some of elon's nonsense selling our personal and private information.

I had been wondering, even before I got this letter, how many times elon, and those hackers elon hired, were selling our personal data.
My guess: Nobody is ever going to jail for all this mess.

paranoid about everything, but that's the world we live in.

Just the number of times I get notifications on my cell phone is enough to make me crazy. About 4 scams a week right now. Everything from EZ pass to doctor's bills that I never was charged for.

Most people thought it was a scam. I'd hold off using the "new" card or changing anything just it case it is a scam.

was changed recently without any notification to us. A back office young woman was able to track the new one down so our Doc could get paid!

I'm glad you got to the bottom of it!
