I want credit monitoring and I want to know if someone has my info :((((( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1356216 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:20:17 +0000 MapleMoose 1356216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just got it this morning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1356198 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:17:04 +0000 snowjewelz 1356198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it a few days ago, I've gotten a few notices from them already and signed up for the free credit monitoring! </p> <p>I use my Target red card often; but so far I haven't seen any suspicious activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1356119 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:57:47 +0000 Pepper 1356119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the same email a few days ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1356021 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:31:58 +0000 mamimami 1356021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Yeah, that is making me think maybe they just sent it to every email in their system to be safe? That makes me feel a bit better.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1356020 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:31:51 +0000 spaniellove 1356020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird, I got one email in the beginning and haven't gotten anything from them since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1356008 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:27:36 +0000 LindsayInNY 1356008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the email and have never ordered from Target online. I shop in store but not around the time of the security breach (only go once every 4-8 weeks). I get their weekly ads so that might be why I got it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1355970 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:15:21 +0000 cmomma17 1355970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: I shopped in store during the time in question. My bank emailed me (and called, and sent a letter) before Target did actually, and I've already been issued a new card. I'm not really interested in Target's credit monitoring so I wish they'd stop emailing me about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1355961 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:10:57 +0000 mamimami 1355961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Did you shop online or in store? Just wondering how targeted (so to speak) this is, or if they sent it to everyone in their database.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1355959 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:10:26 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1355959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten several from target &amp; a handful from our bank. We haven't noticed any suspicious activity, though. </p> <p>My friend had two cards compromised at target &amp; she shops at the same store as me.. We are being extra vigilant about watching our credit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1355958 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:10:25 +0000 Mamaof2 1355958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: me too! I wonder why they keep sending it out over and over..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1355957 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:09:36 +0000 cmomma17 1355957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! This was the 2nd or 3rd email I've received from them regarding the incident actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-an-email-from-target#post-1355954 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:08:38 +0000 mamimami 1355954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got one, posted below. Wondering if anyone who has ever shopped online with them got this? Because while we did shop in store during that period of time in question, I thought we used my husband's card and he is not registered with them in any way....</p> <p>Dear Target Guest,<br /> As you may have heard or read, Target learned in mid-December that criminals forced their way into our systems and took guest information, including debit and credit card data. Late last week, as part of our ongoing investigation, we learned that additional information, including name, mailing address, phone number or email address, was also taken. I am writing to make you aware that your name, mailing address, phone number or email address may have been taken during the intrusion.<br /> I am truly sorry this incident occurred and sincerely regret any inconvenience it may cause you. Because we value you as a guest and your trust is important to us, Target is offering one year of free credit monitoring to all Target guests who shopped in U.S. stores, through Experian’s® ProtectMyID® product which includes identity theft insurance where available. To receive your unique activation code for this service, please go to creditmonitoring.target.com and register before April 23, 2014. Activation codes must be redeemed by April 30, 2014.<br /> In addition, to guard against possible scams, always be cautious about sharing personal information, such as Social Security numbers, passwords, user IDs and financial account information. Here are some tips that will help protect you:</p> <p> Never share information with anyone over the phone, email or text, even if they claim to be someone you know or do business with. Instead, ask for a call-back number.<br /> Delete texts immediately from numbers or names you don’t recognize.<br /> Be wary of emails that ask for money or send you to suspicious websites. Don’t click links within emails you don’t recognize.</p> <p>Target’s email communication regarding this incident will never ask you to provide personal or sensitive information.<br /> Thank you for your patience and loyalty to Target.
