Monitor: Credit and Identity Theft Monitoring Services

An innovative early warning system monitors your credit report and notifies you by email (or text message) about key changes that may indicate fraud. If monitoring reveals unexplained credit file changes or you suspect fraudulent activity, you have access to a live, on-demand fraud specialist at CyberScout who can help you prevent or resolve fraud and stop identity thieves.

Prevent: Identity Theft Prevention Services

Proactive fraud specialists provide fraud alerts if suspicious activity is detected – giving you time to stop fraud attempts, rather than trying to recover after. Experienced fraud specialists act quickly to stop identity thieves in their tracks if your wallet or purse is lost or stolen, your home or mailbox is burglarized, your ATM card PIN or computer passwords are compromised or you’re the victim of a data breach. In the case fraud is detected, one-click access to a 24/7 resolution specialist is available to aid in a faster fix to identity fraud.

Resolve: Identity Resolution Services and Expense Reimbursement

Despite thorough precautions, sometimes identity theft or account takeovers still happen. If they do, we’ll be there.  You’ll receive complimentary, personalized identity theft resolution from a dedicated fraud expert at CyberScout. Your fraud specialist will guide you through the entire process, step-by-step, handling notifications to credit bureaus, creditors and government agencies, as well as creating a comprehensive case file to aid law enforcement. You’ll also receive special assistance in case of medical identity theft or child identity theft. In addition, you can get reimbursed up to $25,000 for expenses you incur as a result of identity theft, such as attorney fees, notarization costs, mail and phone costs, loan application fees, and loss of wages and dependent/elder care (limited to $250 per day up to a maximum $5,000).
