The $35 credit monitoring app I laughed at just caught a fraud alert

Signed up for one of those premium monitoring trials after a store card got skimmed in Phoenix last year. Thought it was pure hype, my bank already sends alerts. Then Tuesday at 6am it flagged a hard pull from a lender I never heard of in Ohio. Called the number on the report, turns out someone tried opening a furniture account in my name. Canceled the trial but I'll keep paying for the app. Anyone else catch something big that their bank missed?

Honestly, guess my bank's alerts are just decorative then. 🤷
