    What does iSekurity service provide?

    When you become a member of iSekurity we take a proactive position by immediately initiating our proprietary Sekure Scan to create your comprehensive “life history” report to detect any suspicious activity early. Within 90 days of enrolling, you will receive an email confirming that your Sekure Scan  report is ready for review via our secure, members-only website. Secondly, if you become a victim, we assist you in the immediate credit restoration process and provide insurance through a 3rd party insurer to cover your restoration costs up to $25,000. Most importantly, we are the only ID theft protection provider that will aggressively investigate the crime against you. We initiate an investigation to identify and locate the party responsible for the crime against you and assist in arrest and prosecution.  Stopping criminals in their tracks is the only effective means of truly combating identity theft.

      You will not be contacted by iSekurity for additional information in normal circumstances.

      Back to top.

      What is a SeKure Scan?

      The SeKure Scan  is iSekurity’s  proprietary technology initiated once you enroll to create your comprehensive “life history” report which includes everything from your entire address history and all registered financial account information to criminal acts committed in your name. The SeKure Scan process is a comprehensive search of multiple data sources in an effort to detect any breach or potential threat early. The system combines the best of iSekurity’s technology and agent expertise to make a thorough assessment on your behalf.

      Back to top.

      Can I decline the SeKure Scan?

      Yes. This is a personal choice for the members but we encourage the scan as a preventative measure.  You will be required to sign a waiver.

      Back to top.

      What type of data sources are checked for SeKure Scan?

      The data sources checked for SeKure Scan  are proprietary  and only our team of iSekurity experts have access to them. The scan reports everything from your entire address history and all registered financial account information to criminal acts committed in your name and weapons registered in your name as well.

      Back to top.

      How far back does SeKure Scan look?

      Your entire life will be included in the SeKure Scan  report. You will receive a new SeKure Scan annually with your iSekurity membership renewal.

      Back to top.

      Does SeKure Scan pick up real estate overseas?

      Yes.

      Back to top.

      What are my responsibilities after my identity is stolen as a member of iSekurity?

      As an iSekurity member, you just need to call our 24/7 Victim Hotline and we will guide you through the recovery process. 

      In short, immediate first steps for you to take include the following 3 actions:

      • We will instruct you to immediately file a police report and complete the iSekurity affidavit and return it to us so we can start the criminal investigation.
      • We will instruct you to notify your credit card providers and banks to stop payment.
      • We will instruct you on how to set fraud alerts on your account with the 3 credit bureaus.

      Our Command Center representatives will guide you through the initial process of obtaining a police report or minimally the police report number that will need to be faxed to us. You will also be required to provide a notarized affidavit to us. Our representatives will instruct you on how to download and print the affidavit form from our website or we can fax the form to you. We will need to have both the police report or report number and the notarized affidavit in our possession in order to begin the investigation. Once we have both of the forms we will assign you a case manager from our team of former federal agents and initiate the investigation of the crime. Your case manager will keep you informed throughout the course of the investigation. Our Command Center will assist you with everything required to restore your credit. We will work with you for reimbursement of your expenses through our 3rd party insurer’s policy.

      Back to top.

      How will you help restore immediate good credit?

      We will advice you throughout the Recovery process our Command Center Representatives, along with the Fraud Restoration Specialist (from our 3rd party insurer) will assist with all administrative activities.  Case Manager (former Federal agent) will provide you a case report that details the incidents to use to expedite your credit restoration. The detailed investigative report will be used to provide to the credit bureaus and any other financial institutions showing the evidence and facts of your case. This report is signed and duly authorized by your Case Manager (former Federal agent) attesting to its validity.

      Back to top.

      Do you do credit monitoring or set fraud alerts?

      No, we do not do credit monitoring or set fraud alerts. However, iSekurity supports these types of preventive measures recommended by the FTC when utilized properly.  These services were established for you to do yourself for free! If you notice any suspicious activity in your account, you can easily contact the credit bureaus toll-free or via their websites to set a fraud alert. These alerts will let potential creditors know that you may be a victim of identity theft. Please visit the prevention section of our web site (www.isekurity.com) for simple instructions on how to set a fraud alert .   iSekurity does not want to charge you for doing something you can do for yourself for free. We advise members that credit monitoring and fraud alerts are a limited means of prevention.  No matter what detection and/or deterrents you have in place there is nothing out there that can protect you 100% against identity theft.

      Back to top.

      What if I enroll with iSekurity and didn’t realize that I was already a victim of identity theft – will you, iSekurity, still cover me and pursue the investigation?

      This situation will be handled on a case by case basis. 

      Back to top.

      If you do not monitor my credit or set fraud alerts, how are you helping to protect my identity?

      We help protect your identity by initiating our proactive Sekure Scan process and by going to the root cause of the breach and attempting to neutralize it. We know that no matter how many deterrent and detection services you use nothing is full proof. When someone steals your identity you need to find out who did it and stop them from doing it again. The Secret Service statistics on ID theft crime show an ID theft criminal uses your identity an average of 30 times. They are able to do this because no one is going after the criminal. By becoming a member of iSekurity, you will be affiliated with the nation's largest team of former Federal Agents dedicated to fighting identity theft.

      Back to top.

      Will I have to do anything...or, will my assigned Case Manager handle the whole investigation? 

      Our expert agents will manage your case and handle all aspects of the investigation. To manage the investigation, our agents may need you to provide details to assist them in closing the case.

      Back to top.

      What does the $25,000 insurance cover?

      If you believe your identity has been compromised and you are an iSekurity member, login to access our Victim Hotline. If you cannot login, you can speak with someone at the Command Center by calling 1-877-838-5734 (toll-free). Please have your iSekurity Member ID number available.

      Promptly contact the call center for immediate assistance at 1-877-838-5734.

      Back to top.

      Why don’t we have a $1 Million Service Guarantee like some providers?

      We actually carry a $2 Million Limit of Liability - the reason we don’t advertise this is because we feel it misleads our customers.  Other companies call it a service guarantee making it appear as though if you have your identity stolen…you get $1 million.  That is not true.  The service guarantee or limit of liability only protects the company from gross negligence.  Any losses you incur from gross negligence on behalf of the company protecting you will be covered.

      Back to top.

      Will I have direct contact with the federal agent handles my case?

      Yes. You will be working closely with the agent throughout the investigative process.

      Back to top. 

      What happens to the criminals once they are caught?

      We do our best to utilize our relationships within Federal, State and local government to have them arrested and prosecuted.
