How Does IDStong's Financial Fraud Detection Work

IDStrong's financial fraud detection can help you by constantly monitoring your personally identifiable information (PII) like your social security number (SSN), credit card numbers, debit card details, employer identification number, bank accounts, driver's license number, and other data. When we find your information exposed, we alert you so you can take quick action to secure your data to prevent identity theft or other fraud.

Americans lose around $3 billion each year due to financial fraud. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) can barely keep up with the millions of complaints from victims. Financial fraud can have various forms and can affect anyone, as personal information is often exposed due to data breaches, hacking incidents, and malware infections.

The Dangers of Financial Fraud and Data Exposure

Your SSN is tied to every important document concerning your identity and can be used to commit identity theft and various types of fraud. Identity theft can wreak havoc in your life and combined with financial fraud, could leave you devastated. Some of the dangers of data exposure and financial fraud include:

  • Online shopping poses risks due to malicious or infected websites, which could lead to your credit or debit cards being stolen and used without your permission. Depending on the situation, your bank may or may not reimburse you for the funds lost, and you could be left with substantial debt that isn't yours.
  • Bank account fraud is becoming much more common, and if your account number is exposed, criminals could cash checks withdrawing funds from your account. All they need is the bank routing number (which is easy to get) and your bank account number.
  • After identity theft or a data breach, you are much more susceptible to fraud schemes such as phishing emails, scam phone calls, and other types of financial fraud.
  • An account takeover is where someone gains access to your account (bank, credit, debit, etc.) and changes the password locking you out, making the need for account takeover prevention services so vital.
  • If you stop to get gas or use the ATM, your card details could be stolen due to skimming.
  • Using your driver's license or other ID, cyber thieves could gain access to your other online accounts and charge debt, steal money, or obtain even more sensitive information about you.
  • Scammers can also use your SSN to file fraudulent tax returns in your name collecting the refunds.
  • Identity thieves often open new accounts in your name, ruining your credit and amassing debt.
  • Identity theft can also lead to other financial crimes, such as embezzlement, bank fraud, check fraud, credit card fraud, investment fraud, mortgage fraud, and insurance fraud. Fraudsters are not always strangers; sometimes, they are your own family members, friends, or caregivers.
