Our team utilizes innovative and enhanced monitoring techniques that protect your credit and your identity, so you can get back to your life. Why Do Thieves Steal Your Identity? One of the first questions a victim of identity theft asks themselves is, “Why would someone want my identity?” For an identity thief, opening credit cards in your name, making fraudulent purchases, or using your personal information when being questioned by the police are just a part of a long list of what they are able to do with your stolen identity. Identity theft can happen to anyone at any time. Your identity is made up of multiple layers of information that includes more than just your Social Security number. What can a thief do with your identifiable information? Identity theft protection prevents your personal data from being used maliciously. Stop worrying about: * Fraudulent credit card purchases * Criminal identity theft * Missing tax refunds * Mortgage fraud * Stolen retirement savings How We Can Help How Safe Are You and Your Family From Identity Theft? Mail Theft Each day, sensitive mail sits in your mailbox, exposed to thieves who use your stolen mail to exploit your information. We actively monitor international most-wanted lists and aggressively scan national criminal record databases to identify potential threats. Other companies only search for convictions, but we alert you to both convictions and arrests. Learn More >> Internet Scams and Computer Fraud As technology adapts, people become more willing to give out their payment information online. Thieves hijack your personal information once it has been submitted if the website isn’t securely encrypted. We monitor your transactions and alert you to suspicious activity. Learn More >> Lost Wallet This is a situation all people are afraid of encountering. When your purse or wallet is stolen, every form of identification and payment you have is now at risk. Even though this is an older method of theft, it is still effective and causes unnecessary stress for the victim. We monitor your name, Social Security number, and other personal identifiable information to help protect your identity from malicious thieves. Learn More >> Credit Card Fraud Fraudulent credit and debit card purchases feel like a personal violation. Often, sorting out these unapproved purchases takes valuable time and effort away from your day. That’s why we include enhanced credit monitoring in select products. With this service, you are alerted to things like your TransUnion® credit score changing by 10+ points, authorized users being added to your credit card accounts, a new auto lease in your name, and more. Learn More >> Data Breach A data breach occurs when secure information is accessed by a malicious user. Today, hackers find their way through even the most secure firewalls to gain access. Data breaches have left millions of people at risk for identity theft, and many are unaware. We scan the dark web and use enhanced monitoring techniques to identify unauthorized use of your personal information before it hits you where it hurts. Learn More >> Social Security Fraud In 2018 alone, the Social Security Administration issued 4 separate warnings to seniors about fraudulent Social Security and Medicare communications. More and more, thieves target seniors to obtain information that could be used to steal their social security and Medicare benefits. We monitor for new applications opened using your name or Social Security number while also alerting you of activity occurring on your credit report.^9 Learn More >> Theft and Home Invasion If you’ve ever been a victim of theft, you know how scary it can be. Even if you haven’t, you can easily imagine what it would be like to have someone invade your personal space. After a theft incident, you may experience unsolicited calls. If you provide personal information over these calls, you may be helping fill in gaps the criminal needs to complete a profile for you. In this case, knowing what to do and recognizing what to look for is only half the battle. We help you understand techniques like this in order to keep your personal information secure. Learn More >> Synthetic Identity Theft Children are especially vulnerable to synthetic identity theft. This type of fraud occurs when a criminal uses a combination of real and fictitious information to create a new identity. Often, thieves will use a real social security number in combination with a fictitious name or address to create a false identity. Once created, thieves can do things like run up credit cards and enter into new auto loans. If the compromised Social Security Number is that of a loved one, it could take years to recover completely. With our included family identity protection, your dependent children are protected with up to $25,000 in identity theft insurance coverage.
