" Reply #00 on: February 00, 0000, 00:00:00 PM " It was interesting for me to come across this because I too just recently received my own email to join Robinhood 0 days ago and had been wondering if I should bother but then about 00 minutes after the fact, decided to just go through with it. Probably not the wisest decision on my part, before doing some extra digging like you did, seeing as how they ask for your social security number and other info. I was pretty surprised when they pretty much instantaneously were able to tell that I had a applied to a loan before and where it was. Testament to technology having the potential to be scary/creepy. So far it seems pretty legit but I haven't actually attempted to place any trades yet. After I do, I'll throw up some blog updates through my newsletter site, over at The Dream Team, to let readers know about how the process went. I'm sure there are a ton of people randomly getting the e-mails after having completely forgotten they had even signed up (as I did) and wondering if it's safe.
