Members Are Eligible for Free Identity Theft Monitoring
In the time it took to read this sentence, at least two Americans were victimized by identity theft, according to a recent CNN report.1 In the past year alone, security breaches have put the credit and debit card information of millions of customers of online shopping and in-store purchases at risk.
Once your information is stolen, it can be a long and frustrating process to restore your good name and credit record.
Some common-sense precautions will help protect your sensitive information:
• Password-protect all accounts.
• Do not share your password and change
passwords regularly.
• Limit access to your Social Security number.
Do not carry your card in your wallet.
• Shred sensitive documents such as pre-approved
credit card offers, convenience checks or anything
containing personal or financial information.
• Keep personal files off your desktop and out of
easy access.
• Check your credit report monthly.
• Pay bills online through your bank or creditor’s
secure website.
• Keep your firewall and anti-virus software
up-to-date on all digital devices.
• Never open emails or click on links from
unknown sources.
Even if you are diligent about these safeguards, your information can still be compromised by increasingly sophisticated malware.
AAA members can now be proactive about protecting themselves by taking advantage of a free identity theft monitoring product provided by ProtectMyID®. This product is backed by Experian®, a major U.S. credit bureau and provider of superior identity theft monitoring products.
Enrollment in ProtectMyID Essential provides a credit report upon enrollment, daily monitoring of your Experian credit report, lost wallet and card assistance (with an option to register your cards), and fraud resolution support.
Additional protection is available at a 60 percent discount off the retail price. For just $8.95 a month, ProtectMyID Deluxe monitors all three major credit reports daily, provides up to $1 million* in insurance for out-of-pocket expenses related to identity theft, and scans Internet sites where information is traded and sold. You will also be notified of detected attempts to redirect your mail.
ProtectMyID Deluxe also includes ChildSecure,® a feature that monitors activity related to the Social Security numbers of your children. You will be notified of detected attempts to open a credit card account using your children’s personal information.
You can get immediate notifications even when
you are away from your computer. The ProtectMyID mobile app allows you to see immediate Surveillance AlertsTM on your iPhone® or AndroidTM and contact the Identity Theft Resolution Team with the touch of a button.
More details about both the Essential and Deluxe product are available at ProtectMyID.com. The site also provides tips on protecting yourself against identity theft.
