Early Alert: What is it?
This innovative detection and warning system utilizes AlertNow, NFDM Identity Theft Protection's proprietary system, to scan hundreds of data sources at various daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly intervals for address changes-a common link in identity theft cases. Should any address changes be detected, which typically signifies that there is a theft in progress, AlertNow issues a warning by personal phone call or, if appropriate, by email, PDA, or to a designated emergency contact number. This unique early detection system will either prevent theft or at least substantially limit the amount of damage done and time necessary to recover. By issuing alerts to potentially bogus accounts or fraudulent activity, consumers can maintain complete control of their identities with minimal effort.
