Overview: TrustedID, founded in 2005 by Scott Micit and Omar Ahmad, offers comprehensive, pro-active identity theft protection at a competitive price. In fact, TrustedID even offers services tailored specifically for individuals and families. TrustedID offers one main product, IDFreeze, and an additional add-on, CreditLock, which was the first of its kind to freeze clients’ credit scores upon request.
Features: TrustedID’s main product, IDFreeze, allows customers to protect themselves against identity theft – it flags any sort of fraudulent activity, scans social security numbers, bank account numbers and credit cards, and monitors medical benefits. IDFreeze’s other features include annual credit scoreing, spyware protection, junk mail list removal, medical benefits monitoring, lost wallet protection and a $1,000,000 service warranty. CreditLock, when added onto IDFreeze, freezes customers’ credit scores so that credit bureaus are unable to release clients’ credit scores to third parties. TrustedID also offers a 24/7 customer service that is comparable to LifeLock, and customers have access to an extensive FAQ section online.
Summary: Although TrustedID is relatively new to the identity theft industry, their products have already proven to be outstanding. Their services are both economical and family oriented. With their extensive customer service, and one-of-a-kind CreditLock service, TrustedID is seriously worth considering.
