Kroll has been around for a long time as well. They are not some fake company.

Many years ago Home Depot had their credit card system hacked, and it has a list of all the customer info on a credit card and they provided me a free year of monitoring.
Bank of America, Ameritrade, etc.. are a real companies. I've received bogus emails that were supposed to be from all of those and many more. The thing is that the email isn't really from the company. It's from someone that made an email that mostly looks like it's from those companies, but the email isnt' REALLY from those companies.
