Using anonymized customer data to determine where people were most likely to request a fraud alert be placed on their cards, it is not so surprising that Las Vegas was the highest at 13.6%. New York and Miami were not far behind at 12.9%.
With millions of Americans affected by data breaches every year, such as recent revelations at Uber and Equifax, LendingTree decided to look at anonymized data from a sample of the over 7 million My LendingTree users to see where people are most likely to have asked a credit bureau to place a fraud alert on their credit report. My LendingTree, available online and at app stores, offers free credit monitoring that includes alerts within 30 minutes of activity on your credit report.
