I had to use my maiden name also, and I've been married over 10 years. Great service!

I went to the site,tried twice,and was told they can't verify my id,including ss#.Is this a problem?

worked great for my & my wife. they couldn't find my 8 y/o daughter which is not a surprise as she has no credit history. I suggest trying again

Site would not progress past first page, whether or not I entered my SS number (which I was reluctant to do but finally gave in.) Didn't matter - never could get past page 1

I tried to enter all my information with SSN and it said they could not help me. Everything was correct, I have a lot of credit and good credit. Is this a scam??

Couldn't verify my information without my SS and then with it. That could be good or bad.

Site doesn't work...message is "can't verfiy identity" and defaults to asking for my SSN, which I won't give. Our other identifying info has not changed for 15 years. Not a good use of time

None of the questions asked had anything to do with me, but it 'recognized' me and gave me a score of 430. Hmmm - are you sure this is not a site to just collect information? I opted out - hope that works.

Scored a 340. No problems at all. Very easy and helpful to use. Information it had on me was completely accurate. Thank you so much Clark!

Useless site- did not recognize me with my social and all proper indentifying info after 2 tries

I clicked on the opt-out instructions before putting in my info.

It basically says email myidscore-optout@idanalytics.com. Put "out out" in subj line and provide your name, address, and phone# but NOT your SSN.

For more details, just go back to the site. On the Step 1 (where you input all your info), click the opt-out link off to the right-hand side.

In the end, it didn't even matter for me. I couldn't get verified w/o my SSN (and didn't try it with).

I did put in my SS# after the first couple of tries and still could not be identified. Perhaps they need to take a look at the site for problems.

boo hoo...

Sweet!! I scored a 72 with SSN and a freeze on my CBR.

Scored a 74, when entering my SSN.

I tried it 4 times and it could not verify me - even with my SSN.

I failed verification twice, apparently because I failed to 'match up' correctly with the information required. Admittedly, some of the verification info required me to think back several decades, it was nonetheless not correct, as far as being a valid test of ID verification. That said, I'll put my faith elsewhere other than some 'for profit' information gathering website. Sorry Clark.

I entered the site without using my SSN and it gave me a score of 250. The info I gave can be found in other places anyway..................

Got my score fast: 211. But when I tried to opt-out (of the PII info being used to help them improve their service), the email page that popped up was one that was attempting to create a new email account for me. I declined by dumping the page and not following through. However, now I am concerned that this whole exercise might be a scam. Clarke, will you research this site better and tell us in your next newsletter what you found out about the integity of MyIDScore.com? Thanks.

Although both my husband and I scored in the low 200's re MyIDScore.com, our checking acct.# was recently used by someone who had his own checks made and tried passing 4 of them. I caught the first check immed. by downloading my quicken acct and no funds were lost although I had to close that acct. and open another with all the hassles involved in changing my acct# with those with whom we do business. The fellow who did this made up a fake Atlanta construction company with a fake routing # and fake bank name. His first check was to "Postmaster" so I think this makes it a federal case.

There's no cure for stupid!

First time without giving SSN gave me a score of 283

Is this a scam, after putting in different info, it keeps blocking you out....maybe they are after my info (clark needs to double check this out) Thanks goodness I have "LIFELOCK"

The site could not verify my identification without the SSN. I tried it several times. I decided not to give my SSN. I am wondering if this site is legit.

I entered the info for a relative who died 3 1/2 years ago. She got a score of 310. I'm not sure I trust this system.

My score was 310 1st try without SN

...my experian credit score is 840....now I am told that only myfico counts.....and the ID THEFT SCORE did not even work for me...the heck with it....life goes on.....

Got a 269 with SS#. Seems useful to me.

What do you know? Just like many others who commented, it couldn't find me either. Scary, since I went back in and provided my SS# the second time around!

Total waste of time. The app would not identify me. My credit score is high enough to make lenders drool and I've lived in only 2 places for the last 25 years.

I'd like to know what are the factors that go into calculating scores.

Service could not give me a reading on my risk. I chose not to enter my SSN. Why?

Clark, thanks so much. My score was 345 and I, like James, would like to know how to make my score even lower than it. I always watch your show and I certainly trust you.

Tried three times (one with SSN) and they couldn't identify me!

Why worry about ID theft when the people who know all about you are already stealing from you every day!

The banks, with more schemes than a Phildelphia lawyer defending a Las Vegas hooker in a Kansas court

There should be a question on whether a credit freeze is in place.

Neat service. I got a 284 with my SS#. I wish they would give some better advice on how to lower the score but I suppose the information is available with a simple Google search.

They gave me my score without my SS but when I went to check with my SS they could not ID me or my wife?????????

With all the concerns of ID theft, why would anyone want to send their SS number to this organization to find out they are at risk or not. If you would do it, you ARE at risk!!

Tried to enter my information without my SS# several times- Said it was not enough information to identify - Makes me thinks it is a - SCAM!

refused to give me a score without SS#-said they couldn't identify me!

I ran myself and a couple of family members to see what came up.

1. For my wife and I, we came up low risk at 314 and 218. But, we have actually been victims of an identity theft. In 1998, an apartment manager and her side kick/low end grounds keeper-man were engaging in identity theft at the complex we lived at. They were taking the actual rental applications, making copies of them, and then at their leisure using the information to gain access to the tenant’s finances, personal life, conducting stalking behavior in some cases. The best we could do is get them fired, but it took us a year to do that by hiring a private investigator, attorney and installing hidden cameras in our unit. The scary part is, these two still have factual actual information on us, and now we have to keep a constant vigil on them for the rest of our lives.
2. When we ran a close relative who was also a victim of these two, but lived at another location (we figure they got her address off of our rental application as next of kin) she came up as not being able to be processed by MyIDScoredot.com at all! In her case her mail was stolen right out of the mail box, her check washed that she had written to pay her monthly bills, and cashed in other places like ATMS, Check Cashing places, bars as if she wrote them out to cash. She was stung for over $6,000 dollars in funds removed from her bank accounts!

theycouldnt id me???maybe Idont exist!!

Weird. I got 324 without my SSN and 143 with. I wonder what that extra piece of info did to lower my score by over half?

This is a drop in the bucket approach to a much larger problem. You could be a number 16 and still have your identity stolen for financial. But what about medical fraud, DMV fraud, or having your social security number compromised? ...forget this. I'm using prepaid legal- identity protection, because I expect my number is already out there and I want someone to FIX the problem when it happens and immediately.

"Who knows?
Wouldn't it be interesting if everyone found out a few months down the road, that myidscore.com was a front for ID thieves?" I'm always worried about that sort of stuff too. I bet that we would have the lowest scores on this one.

My score was 136. I have had my credit frozen for a while.

My credit is frozen, so I'm used to not being able to get a credit score. Only thing I can think of is "limited credit activity" I'm debt-free.

I was amazed at info they had on me. My score was 171....on your recommendation I have had my credit frozen for over 2 years.

glad that I wasn't the only one that the website could not verify. I also included my birthdate and SSAN----it came back that it could not verify me.
