Scammers are trying to take advantage of the data breach with various email phishing scams, claiming to be from Equifax and asking people to provide personal information.
A scam in which people pretending to be stranded travelers give people fake jewelry as collateral against a loan to get back home has been reported in Wyoming.
It's a scam, and the post says that law enforcement will never call people up and demand their personal information under the threat of an arrest warrant.
