How to Monitor your Phone Number

Overview

IdentiSafe uses a sophisticated Very Early Warning System to monitor private and public databases for signs of early identity theft and ID Theft Risk.


Phone Number Monitoring

The vulnerability of phone numbers may appear to be low risk at first, but there’s actually a much more serious side to compromising your phone number. In various situations, multiple forms of identification or verification are required.

In some cases, simply verifying your phone number can be enough for a sweet-talking thief to impersonate and convince someone else that they are you. As a result, even the most innocent of data can be used to do great harm when it’s associated with your identity.

You can add up to 5 phone numbers if you would like to monitor multiple numbers at once.
