EDUCATION ON IDENTITY THEFT

LEARN

Fraud | Identity Theft | Cyber Crime | Ransomware | Antivirus


These words are becoming more and more frequent as time passes. What do these words have in common?

YOUR IDENTITY DATA!

This is your name, address, date of birth, social security number, and credit score, just to name a few. 


DID YOU KNOW??


When an indentity thief steals, it isn't money or cash he wants - it's INFORMATION!


THE FACTS:


Identity Theft has become the number one crime in America today.

 

It’s called "The Silent Crime." Why?


Because you never hear it coming and you do not know about it until it has happened. Past tense.In 2019, over 5243 companies were breached, affecting 7.9 billion people. That was a 54% increase over 2018.

 

Collectively, Identity Theft crimes generated $225 billion in illegal revenue - which is MORE than drugs, prostitution, and human trafficking COMBINED. It’s not enough anymore to just have an identity theft protection service in place.

 

You need to understand what Identity Theft is and how these services work to protect you, your family, and your future. Get in touch with the Identity Theft Agent today!


MONITOR

Because of technology, people have the ability to transfer information in small and large quantities at will. 


Today, your identity data is required to do everything. 


Buying a car, house, and land.

Enroll your kids in school, at the doctor’s office, swim lessons, and on and on. 


This makes having access to you and your kids' data much more convenient.

 

While technology has made it easier to conduct business, the process of protecting your data is still playing catch up. 


The front line to any identity theft service is the company’s ability to fully monitor your identity data. Which is your name, address, date of birth, social security number, and credit score.

 

IDT monitoring services consistently conduct over 22 different searches daily, watching over 69 different pieces of your personal identity data, reviewing 200 million credit files, and 78 billion public records.

 

It’s the largest monitoring system of any IDT service company.


ALERT

An alert is sent to you via your personal mobile app when:

Your identity data

(name, address, date of birth, social security, and credit score)

OR

an information item attached to your data changes.

(Such as medical or insurance records, tax files, police warrants, employment, emails, social media, mothers maiden name, registered sex offenders move into the neighborhood, or dark web notices).

Alerts are sent in "Real Time." 


Real Time is when the alert is sent while the offense is actually happening.


This allows the investigators and authorities to act faster and greatly reduce the restoration time. 


You have the opportunity to review the offense and determine if you have knowledge of it or not. Because remember:  your activities will alert the system as well as the one’s that aren’t you. 


You will also be able to follow your case statues in real time via your mobile app.

Upon reviewing the alert, if you determine the actions were not made by you:

 

Your next step would be to partner with a licensed investigator who will take your case, conduct the investigation, and do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to fully restore your identity back to the original status.

You can rest easy knowing you have a team of experts handling it for you.


RESTORE

This is where the Rookies are separated from the Pros.


The concept is the company does the all work so you do not have to.


 It’s called Full Service Restoration


Which is different from resolution where you conduct most of the work.

 

FYI, it takes a person on average 6 months and 200 works hours to repair just ONE identity theft incident.


Do the math: you're spending 1.67 hours of your work day attempting to resolve this vicious issue, not to mention the emotional and physical effects this issue has on an individual.

 

With unlimited access to advisors and investigators, your case is handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. 


The investigators will work on the behalf of the client to resolve the issue by working with the appropriate government agencies, financial institutions, credit bureaus, and collection agencies.


You’ll have 24/7 access to the advisors and investigators.

 

No other company offers this high level of professional service.

Survivors generally desperately want to honor the last wishes of loved ones who have died. That's problematic when final wishes haven't been shared. An absence of guidance can double the pain of losing a dear friend or relative. The same is true if you agree to manage their estate. You can't imagine some of the questions that will hit you if you're appointed executor. You won't even realize you lack the answers until it's too late. Survivors struggling with grief don't need the added burden of an informational scavenger hunt, but in today's world, they run into one significant obstacle— accessing the digital records left behind . Increasingly, digital devices contain the primary history of the life someone lived, and those files probably need a guardian as much as any minor child would. Misconceptions Abound When someone dies, it can be difficult to gain access to password-protected phones and laptops. A death certificate is rarely enough. Further, a simple photo won't unlock that device via facial recognition. Don't believe friends who tell you a funeral home can help access someone's smartphone after death. Many biometric evaluations run on infrared sensors or radio frequencies. These days, facial recognition programs can evaluate heat signatures or signs that the owner is paying attention to the screen. Biometrics that measure electrical conductivity may be hindered; the body's currents are no longer present. Fingerprints won't be easy to utilize after death, either. Today, one major smartphone company disables Touch ID if it's not used in 48 hours also. If you're close to a person in failing health and know you're designated to manage their final accounts, discuss how to gain access to all digital records. Being well-prepared will deliver peace of mind to both of you. Discuss adding a second individual's fingerprints to devices before the need arises. In addition, some smartphones will allow you to add one additional face to your Face ID unlock formula to cover issues such as unexpected death. The No. 1 Reason You Can't Find a Will You'd think that more individuals would write Wills or establish estate plans. Unfortunately, the numbers tell a different story. A tally of Americans who've executed a Will decreased significantly over the last four years, and the numbers were surprisingly low before that decline. Only 1 in 3 Americans has prepared a Will to guide survivors, according to a 2021 industry survey. Check this list of well-known folks who died without a Will—many worth millions: Jimi Hendrix, Pablo Picasso, Michael Jackson, Prince, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Amy Winehouse. They all died without executing legal papers—a situation known as dying intestate. In these instances, estate wrangling and litigation have been costly. Documents Survivors Need Here's a shortlist of documents a single company might require from the executor or personal representative before they'll even disclose the balance of a deceased person’s 401(k) account: Social Security card or an official document including the complete number A bill with the deceased's current address to confirm their last residence Birth certificate(s) for the dead and any children Death certificate Marriage papers, if applicable Divorce documents, if applicable A driver's license or photo ID for the deceased Letters of Appointment for the executor or personal representative Collecting these documents to determine assets requires real detective work. The same is true for debts. If you inherit stacks of disorganized papers and need help locating vital pieces, this task becomes daunting. For example, most of us can't find our own Social Security cards , so what are the odds an executor can successfully locate one for the departed? Each institution establishes its own rules. Some credit card issuers require a death certificate to cough up data, for example. Others don't. One gatekeeper may want to see photo IDs while another will disclose details immediately for someone identified as a close relative. Even the decedent's cat's health insurance provider might require official records to access the kitty's policy. What To Know About Device Lock Out Hopefully, some written instructions can guide you. When your father, daughter, brother or cousin dies without a Will, there is no road map. If estimates are correct, the average person holds 100 or more online accounts. That's a lot of data to comb through, even when you've located the needed credentials for access. Cell phone and email providers aren’t likely to hand over passwords . They're serious about privacy even if the departed probably isn't entitled to protection.
