Interesting segment from the Today Show If your wallet is stolen: File a police report; Start keeping detailed records including the names, dates, and phone numbers of people you’ve reported this theft to; Report all your credit cards as stolen so that you are issued new cards with new account numbers. (Most credit card companies will automatically place a fraud alert in your credit report on your behalf when you notify them of a stolen card); FREEZE all three of your credit reports–do not rely on the theft alert alone, as it will not fully protect you from having accounts opened in your name, that is something only a full credit report freeze will do; Subscribe to a credit monitoring service (if it is available with a frozen report). These services supposedly provide insurance in the event you are a victim–not many people can afford to lay out 000 in legal fees and that is where ID Theft Insurance will come in handy, assuming your homeowner’s policy doesn’t already offer this type of coverage. MYFICO, Equifax, Transunion and Experian all offer credit report monitoring (some of these services are made available to those who’ve already frozen their files). Also, as in the case of this victim, you may want to alter your banking habits. The thief in this case supposedly managed to withdraw funds and write bad checks using the victim’s driver’s license.

Only One in Five Consumers Feel Protected From Fraud During Mobile Banking, Survey Finds

Only One in Five Consumers Feel Protected From Fraud During Mobile Banking, Survey Finds

LOS ALTOS, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2011

ThreatMetrix™, the fastest growing provider of cloud-based fraud prevention solutions that do not require personally identifiable information (PII), today announced results of a joint study with The Ponemon Institute, “Mobile Payments & Online Shopping Survey of U.S. Consumers.” The survey, which looked at U.S. consumers who self-reported they are active users of the Internet, revealed that only 21% feel they are completely protected against fraudsters when conducting mobile banking activities.

For purposes of the survey, mobile banking was defined as “…a term used for performing equilibrated checks, being transactions, payments, credit applications and other banking transactions through a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.” The majority of respondents (46%) feel somewhat, but not completely protected from fraud in this channel, with 23% reporting they do not experiencing protected at all. An additional 10% are still uncertain about the level of fraud prevention measures surrounding mobile banking.

“Mobile banking is still a very new strategy for consumers and banks alike,” said Bert Rankin, vice president of marketing, ThreatMetrix. “The big question here is how banks can overcome this barrier to mobile adoption, and enable consumers to feel more secure when conducting transactions from their smartphone. While our survey results showed that many consumers found this functionality to be convenient, the overwhelming majority are still hesitant about mobile banking.”

According to the survey results, only 29% of consumers said they have indeed conducted mobile banking. Of those who have used mobile banking, half reported they did so out of convenience. Of those who expressed they have not used a mobile device for banking purposes, the same percentage (51%) cited it was because of diminished security. Twenty-three percent indicated that privacy concerns inhibited their use of mobile banking.

“Mobile, in particular, is difficult to protect from fraud,” aforementioned Julie Conroy McNelley, senior fraud and risk analyst at the Aite Group. “With around 4,000 different device types to secure, it’s often a daunting task. On top of that, few consumers are using anti-virus or anti-spyware software on their mobile devices. Mobile, just like more traditional e-commerce transactions from a desktop, has the potential to become a hotbed for fraud.”

Mobile Payments

Along with mobile banking, mobile payments still have a long way to go for widespread adoption, according to survey results. In the survey, a mobile payment – sometimes known as a mobile wallet — was defined as “an alternative payment method. Instead of paying with cash, check or credit cards, a consumer can use a mobile phone to pay for a wide range of services and digital or hard goods. Sixty-percent of surveyed consumers have never made a mobile payment, despite the fact that the majority own a smartphone.

However, eighty-four percent of consumers indicated that it is “important” or “very important” for online payment service providers to express a commitment to protect them against fraud and other abuses – especially in the mobile channel.

“Many of today’s payment providers have yet to fully embrace and promote their fraud prevention strategies,” said Rankin. “This is reflected in consumer preference to use either attributed cards or PayPal when made a mobile payment today, as these payment methods are most familiar to consumers.” Sixty-one percent of survey respondents said they prefer PayPal, with 53% indicating a preference for just using an attributed card. “Other payment processors like Google Wallet and CheckFree should be aware that fraud is a very real concern and often a barrier to consumers using these services when shopping from a mobile device.”

Other topics covered in the survey include online spending intentions and fraud outlook for Cyber Monday and the upcoming holidays, as well as findings around social media and government-related payments.

IS A TOP HARVARD ECONOMIST RIGHT WHEN HE CALLS the Obama Plan AGGREGIOUS WASTE?

Filed under: Id Fraud Prevention — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 7:49 pm


Question by demhater: IS A TOP HARVARD ECONOMIST RIGHT WHEN HE CALLS the Obama Plan AGGREGIOUS WASTE?
Harvard economist Robert Barro calls the legislation “probably the worst bill that has been put forward since the 1930s.”"I mean it’s wasting a tremendous amount of money,” he said in an interview with the Atlantic. “I don’t think it will expand the economy. . . . I think it’s garbage.”Rep. Tom Cole, Republican from Oklahoma, was a bit more refined but no less biting in his commentary. Borrowing from Winston Churchill, he wryly observed from the House floor Thursday morning that “Never have so few spent so much so quickly to do so little.”Lest anyone think that Barro or Cole is guilty of overstating the situation, consider what’s in this monster:• It overflows with pork — $ 2 billion to ACORN, an anti-capitalist “community” group that’s been impeached of voter registration fraud; $ 30 million to reconstruct wetlands and relieve the threatened salt marsh harvest mouse in the San Francisco Bay Area (a Nancy Pelosi project); another $ 1 billion for a Prevention and Wellness Fund for education programs on sexually communicated diseases.Tens of billions will be passed on eminent-speed rail lines, which will be of little pragmatic use but of outstanding political service, and projects to expand eminent-speed Internet access in rural areas.There’s so much peculiar-interest spending in the bill, says House Republican Leader Rep. John Boehner’s office, that the dollars leaved over for unmediated little-business tax relief amount to but “about one-third of 1% of the total bill,” a bare $ 3 billion away of a $ 789 billion package. Yet little businesses do most of the engaging in this country.• The bulk of the spending comes not correct forth when the economy needs a boost, but in future years. This is distinctive. Legislative attempts to rescue the economy have been tardy in the last eight recessions going rearward to October 1949, when Congress passed an anti-recession bill but as the country was emerging from a 12-month downturn.• By releasing $ 800 billion in unexampled welfare spending over the next decade and subverting current work requirements, it will mostly unlace the successful 1996 welfare reform. Once again, Washington will be paying bonuses to states that expand their welfare rolls. In what world is increasing dependency on government a stimulus for the individual economy?http://www.ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=319334273223204• States that have passed recklessly for years will get bailouts when they should alternatively endure the consequences of their actions. The compromise bill includes $ 54 billion to hand away to state and local governments, a contrary reward for elected officials who can’t control their passing.What’s losing from the legislation is merely as important as what’s included.There are no tax cuts to boost investment, simply a wantoning $ 13 in tax relief per week that will seem on paychecks in the spring.There’s no existent effort to boost energy production.There’s no meaningful defense passing.Tax cuts started at the White House gave life to struggling economies in the 1960s, 1980s and earlier in this decade.
