An Identity Theft Detection
and Warning System
Stop
identity theft before it starts with Early Alert™.
Identity theft has become a crime of epidemic
proportions. Over the last five years, this
crime has impacted over 27 million Americans.
Last year alone, identity theft affected an
estimated 10 millions Americans resulting in
losses of over $53 billion.
Don't
let yourself become a victim of this crime.
If a thief assumes your identity, it can take
about nine months to discover. Not to mention,
it can take approximately 600 hours and up to
44 months to correct the associated problems-enduring
costs, hassle, and damage to your credit along
the way. And in addition to financial hardship,
there may be non-financial misuses of your identity,
which happens in 15% of cases. These include
obtaining employment and renting homes in your
name, as well as tax fraud and committing crimes,
which can result in your arrest by authorities.
Today,
protecting yourself from identity theft is critical,
and now you have the solution - Early Alert™-
an innovative early detection and warning system
for members of Identity
Keeper.
Understand the crime. Outsmart the criminal.
Once thieves steal your social security number,
they are able to use your identity and your
good credit. This is the most serious form of
identity theft, called identity assumption.
With your social security number, a thief can
now set up bogus bank, credit card, cell phone
accounts or even commit crimes in your name.
Then, by redirecting the billing information
for these new accounts to his address, not yours,
the thief delays you for up to nine months from
knowing that fraudulent charges are being made
in your name. Hiding address changes from you
is crucial to the identity thief's success.
Finding these address changes and alerting you
is our job. Allowing us to protect you and your
identity.
Early
Alert™ is your first line of defense.
Top law enforcement agencies agree that the
key to identity theft is the address. Altered
address and billing information is the common
link in cases of identity theft. Alert Now™,
Identity Keeper's
proprietary system, provides members with 24/7address
surveillance of over 1,500 data sources at various
daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly intervals.
Warning you of each change.
Once
any changes to your address and telephone number
are detected, we'll notify you by email, phone
or pda and through your designated emergency
contact number. If you did not initiate the
change we identified, it is likely that a thief
is in the beginning stages of stealing your
identity. Early Alert™ identifies changes
and issues a warning. This unique early detection
system will help you prevent theft or at least
substantially limit the amount of both financial
and non-financial damage done. Detecting a theft
in process within the first thirty days usually
results in less than 10 hours of work to repair.
Data
sources include, but are not limited to:
- All
3 credit bureaus
- Financial
institutions

groups
