Stop Fraud: Gain Peace of Mind Through Identity Protection

Did you know that consumers lost $56 billion to identity fraud in 2020? Identity theft affected 15% of Americans in 2020 alone. That’s why identity protection is essential in today’s internet age.

There are dozens of ways for people to steal your identity, and a lot of it happens online. Even when you’re very careful with your personal information, it can still happen. 

Identity theft protection can go a long way toward helping you gain peace of mind and avoid fraudulent activity. Here’s why you should enroll in identity protection today.

Being Careful Isn’t Enough

A lot of consumers understand that they need to be very careful with their personal information. They set excellent passwords, don’t share information unnecessarily, and avoid storing credit card information on their internet browser or in their phones.

Unfortunately, as careful as you are, other people who have your data may still be careless. Perhaps a retailer doesn’t protect your payment information and it falls into the wrong hands. Hackers also target businesses that use personal information and steal the data, often selling it to thieves.

Identity protection allows you to know that even if your best efforts don’t work, you’re protected and have help getting back on track.

Thieves Love Personal Information

Why would someone steal your information, and what do they plan to do with it? Many of us think that there’s not much special about us, and can’t understand why someone would want to use our data.

The truth is that thieves can use your personal information for a variety of purposes. The two primary goals are to steal money and to conduct an activity without having it traced back to them. For example, they might buy a phone in your name and use it for criminal enterprise. They might make fraudulent purchases. They can open utility accounts in your name using fake addresses.

It’s scary, but you don’t have to lose sleep over their bad intentions. With identity protection, you can be alerted when there are changes to your credit report, new applications in your name, and more. If anything goes wrong, you’ll know right away.

Protect Yourself from Financial Loss

When someone steals your identity, it can cost you a lot of money. Without monitoring, by the time you notice something has happened a lot of financial damage has already been done.

Identity protection helps you catch issues early so you don’t suffer significant financial loss. In addition, the best plans have insurance so that you can cover your out-of-pocket expenses due to identity theft. These two benefits can save you thousands of dollars!
