How does FraudArmor® Plus work?

FraudArmor Plus is a comprehensive check fraud resolution and recovery service that also includes proactive monitoring to help detect risk early. Each eligible check order provides access to U.S.-based Fraud Resolution Specialists who are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time to answer your call. Specialists can assist with resolving check fraud involving the routing and account number printed on the check, including fraud related to physical checks, debit card misuse, online fraud, mobile phone transactions or account takeover connected to the affected account. In addition, FraudArmor Plus also includes comprehensive identity fraud resolution services that address all types of identity theft, both financial and non-financial.

Benefits Period

FraudArmor Plus is available for up to one year from the date your check order is shipped or your use of the last check in the applicable check order; whichever is first (your “Service Period”). Service is only available for fraud that occurs or is first discovered during your Service Period. If you are in the resolution process (actively working with a Specialist) when the Service Period expires, your resolution case will continue until it is resolved, with no time limit.

PROACTIVE MONITORING AND EVERYDAY RECOVERY TOOLS

Dark Web Monitoring

Dark Web Monitoring helps detect when sensitive information may be exposed, shared, or sold online.

To activate monitoring, you must create a FraudArmor Plus account. You will be able to select the items you want to monitor, and then you will receive alerts if there is a compromise. There is no cost for activating this service.

You are encouraged to add as many relevant items as possible to increase early detection, including:

  • Bank account identifiers
  • Credit and debit card numbers
  • Personal identity information
  • Consumer login credentials
  • IP addresses and other digital identifiers

If monitored information is detected in known dark web sources, you’ll receive an alert so you can take action early, such as changing passwords, closing accounts and being vigilant to certain type of activity, possibly before fraud occurs. Visit fraud-armorpluslogin.com to create your account and begin monitoring your identity on the Dark Web today. NOTE: When Dark Web Monitoring is first activated, some alerts may reflect activity from previous years. After the initial activation, you’ll only receive alerts for new activity.
