Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
I woke up this morning to this email received last night, I didn’t click on anything but went to Google the site, found the url and went to the Splitit site directly.

On there I can log in via “Magic Link” where it send you a link to the inbox and log in that way without any password.

On the profile page it doesn’t show any “Plans” or credit, so the site doesn’t say I ever signed on. Meaning nobody used my email to use this site. So I don’t understand what this email is about. Did someone take out credit in my name?

If you don't have a card from them or bought anything on some kind of installment plan then ignore it. Its either an error, someone trying to harvest information (or live email addresses) or spamming for positive reviews on trustpilot.

Just in case, watch your accounts for any unexplained transactions.
 
Look at the 1 star reviews of Splitit on Trustpilot and you'll see a few people who didn't realise they were using it because it seemed to be getting set up on their behalf when taking out a 'pay over instalments' type option with an online retailer.

I don’t do that usually, only ever done it once and that was on PayPal when I bought on LCE, pay in 3 back in last September so it’s paid off in November.

I don't think it's only instalment plans they're involved in - it may also facilitate 'buy now pay on delivery' type arrangements or other 'buy now pay later' - essentially anything that is effectively credit but without showing the customer any kind of arrangement or application.

The only thing recently is getting a deskmat on Aliexpress that I selected pay on delivery. I used my Amex on that so it’s not out of my bank account. I guess it could be that…
