Nick -
If I understand your story correctly, I would start by verifying the
"local health care company". If they are someone you do business with,
then you can contact them otherwise through "normal" channels (not
website/e-mail) that you already trust (you do business with them
already?) It is not good practice for *them* to be directing you to a
third-party "monitoring" site in they way they seem to be. If you do
NOT do business with them already then it is almost assuredly a phishing
attempt. Or maybe more appropriately a "phlushing" attempt... what
predators do to try to get prey to panic and expose themselves so they
can pounce and/or run you to ground.
Hope your summer is going well otherwise!

Yes, Nick,
Stay in your cage of distrust. I will be very surprised if you
ultimately determine that this _wasn’t_ a scam. Maybe even add a bar
or two to your cage walls: I would generally not log into a link
received in an email, if there weren’t some way I could initiate the
contact with a known company through some website that the various
certifiers think is theirs.

Hi, everybody,
Sorry for the bother.
A local health care company writes me to say they have compromised
all my identity data, and offers to pay for “Kroll Monitoring
Services”, giving me an ID number with which to log into their site.
When I do this, the site fills in my correct address and last name
but an incorrect first name, and asks me to enter all my identity
data. At this point, I begin to contemplate that the notice itself
may be a fraud. I eventually find Kroll on the web, but it wasn’t
all that easy. None of the sites that evaluate credit monitoring
services has it. How do I extricate myself from my cage of distrust?
