Review - Worthy Identity Theft Protection
Service


With the recent increase in identity theft,
many consumers are growing concerned that certain types of
transactions may put them at risk to have their identity
stolen. Even when a victim realizes quickly that their identity
has been stolen it can take months or years to go through the
process of getting their money back and their credit score
repaired.
With all of these risks facing consumers
today, it is no wonder that some individuals are starting to
look for a better way to protect their identity and credit
score. This is where www.identitytruth.com
comes in. The focus of this website is on protecting the credit
score of their customers by constantly monitoring purchase
patterns, credit reports, social security number usage,
insurance fraud, and many other forms of identity
theft.
Simply by
viewing the homepage at IdentityTruth
prospective customers can find out almost all of the
information that they need about the services that are
provided. Several frequently asked questions are presented on
the front page, and all are answered in great detail with
specific examples of how IdentityTruth.com can
help protect its customers.
At the top of
the page is a free survey designed to show how secure a
viewer's identity is at this point. The questions focus on
specific risk factors such as open and inactive credit cards
and insecure mailboxes where billing and bank statements can be
stolen. At the end of the survey they provide a specific list
of things that you can do to lower your risk for identity
fraud.
One problem
with the website is that contact information for the company is
somewhat difficult to find. While there is "contact" link at
the top of the page, it simply brings up a form where a
customer can email questions to a support specialist. The
customer service number is hidden at the bottom of the page in
very small print. This is somewhat remedied by the "about us"
link which gives the phone and fax numbers as well as an
address for the company, but it would be nice not to have to
leave the main page to find this information.
Being an
identity fraud protection company, it would be somewhat
hypocritical if their own website was not thoroughly protected
from potential risks, and they certainly have that covered. The
website is protected by the combined services of
VeriSign and
TRUSTe, as well as McAfee
security software. As
IdentityTruth is a branch of
Experian, a well known credit
monitoring business, customers can rest assured that they have
the experience and resources necessary to perform the services
that are being offered.
