PayPal and Equifax have an ongoing partnership where PayPal users can receive free credit monitoring alerts through Equifax. The interesting part is that you don't need to have a PayPal account to receive the free service. You just have to visit PayPal's website and click on the Equifax Credit Alert link. You will then be automatically redirected to Equifax's website where you can register or sign in with your existing Equifax login ID. The offer is essentially open to everyone since there is no actual attempt to verify that you are indeed a PayPal customer. You just have to register through the PayPal link and the service is free.
I have not been a victim of credit fraud but I am learning to be more careful these days. I have given my confidential personal information numerous times to apply for various credit offers and contract job positions. It doesn't cost anything to exercise a healthy level of caution and take advantage of the service.
