Identity Theft Protection Insurance

Protect your credit and your good name.

We look at the big picture.

Virtually unheard of 25 years ago, today the threat of Identity Theft has increasingly become more and more commonplace. In 2021 more than 40 million American consumers were victims of Identity Theft with reported losses of about $52 billion. If you do not think you are vulnerable, here are a few sobering statistics to consider:

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the most likely targets for Identity Theft are consumers between 30–39 years of age. That’s right, due to their earning power and lifestyle, Millennials are prime targets for identity thieves.
Having a compassionate heart can cost you: The FTC also cites losses of more than $750 million from taxpayers through COVID-19 related stimulus scams since January 2020.
If you live in the New York TriState you’re among the top 25 states reporting the highest Identity Theft rates. New York places in the top ten, New Jersey is not far behind, and Connecticut just makes the cut.

There is help, however. Grillo & Associates, a leading local insurance firm, offers Identity Theft insurance on Long Island. Speak with our team to learn more about how to protect yourself from the most common types of Identity Theft. These include:

Medical Identity Theft: Again, an individual’s personal information is used by another to obtain health care services. Common examples include someone else posing as you to obtain prescription medications.
Criminal Identity Theft: Someone is arrested and uses your name. While unlikely, receiving a court summons for a crime you did not commit, is not unheard of.
Synthetic Identity Theft: On the rise, this scenario occurs when someone creates a fake identity using the name of a living person along with personal information such as their actual birthdate and Social Security number to apply for a loan.
