Identity theft is rampant but avoidable--with the right protection
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier
Communications (NASDAQ: FTR) today announced the launch of Frontier
Secure Identity Protection, an identity theft and fraud protection
service provided by Frontier and Kroll
Advisory Solutions, a global leader in security.
“Nearly 12 million Americans were victims of identity theft last year,”
said Kelly Morgan, Vice President/GM of Frontier
Secure Services. “Criminals are adept at obtaining consumers’
personal and financial data; Frontier Secure Identity Protection
is an effective and affordable way to fight back. June is Internet
Safety Month and a perfect time to ensure financial and personal
data is protected,” he said.
Frontier Secure Identity Protection provides four key benefits to
consumers:
- Identity theft restoration and recovery provideshands-on
assistance to help victims get back to pre-identity theft status,
including consumer advocacy, comprehensive fraud assessment and
in-depth support until resolution of all issues.
- Unlimited professional consultation, including assistance
before, during and after potential identity theft situations, along
with credit information analysis and licensed investigation services.
- Triple bureau credit monitoring, including alerts that enable
consumers to detect potential fraudulent activity early on. Frontier’s
program engages all three national credit report agencies-– Equifax,
Experian and TransUnion – to ensure that fraudulent activity does not
impact a consumer’s credit scores.
- Routine identity and privacy scans, for noncredit information
such as Social Security number use, phone number and mail/email
addresses.
“Identity theft and fraud are incredibly personal crimes that infringe
on our most private and sensitive information,” notes Morgan. “Frontier
wants customers to know there’s no reason to ‘lose themselves’ as a
result of fraud. The monitoring, consultation, restoration and recovery
aspects of Frontier Secure Identity Protection mean consumers
will be prepared, protected and assured of a trusted partner.”
Frontier Secure Identity Protection is available for just $9.99 a
month per person throughout the United States. More information can be
