I spoke with a Asset representative today-- I gave out my SS# before thinking it through in an effort to identify my account and dispute that I owed. Should I be worried as they did already have the last 4 #s of my SS. They did quickly state I did not owe and would send a letter within 7-10 day to verify. Just as a precaution I have put a fraud alert on all 3 credit bureau's as well as made a complaint with the BBB requesting a written response from them re: how they even had my information and why they assumed I owed a $2,206.46 bill for a gym I never joined!!!!


Its a scam, clear as day. You should never ever ever give out your whole SSN. Most companies have only the last 4 digits as they are easy to obtain but they can't do jack with it except for establishing identity. You did the right thing by placing a fraud alert on your report. File a complaint with the FTC as well.

About the BBB, its more of a marketing platform for businesses rather than a complaint platform for consumers. Moreover, they are never going to be able to tell you how these guys from AA got hold of your personal information (probably bought it at a wholesale rate) nor are they legally liable to do so.
