I registered for Equifax's identity fraud insurance service at trustedidpremier.com/ and now I have an email directing me towards www.trustedid.com They are not the same domain. Is that second one, www.trustedid.com, legit? If so, is there some way to verify it?

The website where I enrolled in the TrustedID Premier product has the Equifax name on it, but the URL and emails I’m receiving all say TrustedID. What is the relationship between TrustedID and Equifax?



In 2013, Equifax acquired TrustedID, a company that offers credit file monitoring and identity theft protection products. We want to reassure all consumers going through the enrollment, scheduling and activation process that the TrustedID name in the URL and in the email address are valid.
