Example Sentences (3)
- “In the fintech and banking world, a Credit Privacy Number (CPN) is as uniquely American as hamburgers and hot dogs on the Fourth of July. Credit repair companies in the U.S. created this nine-digit number as a marketing gimmick to sell consumers stolen Social Security numbers under the guise of protecting their privacy. In reality, however, these numbers have fueled a far more sinister purpose — creating millions of synthetic identities. Nowhere else in the world does the concept of a CPN exist. And nowhere else do synthetic identities run as rampantly as they do here. In America, CPNs and synthetic identity fraud go hand in hand. […] The Great Big CPN Lie […] It's hard to tell precisely when the CPN scam started. However, credit repair companies, looking to generate income by preying on consumers' desperation to hide bad credit, first mentioned it as a solution online in 2007. The CPN was merely a modern rebrand of "File Segregation," a credit repair scheme that gained popularity in the 1990’s by people that had declared bankruptcy.”
