ID TheftSmartTM Protection

ID TheftSmart TM

We would like to help protect you from the fastest growing crime in the U.S. by offering your ID Theft protection through Kroll ID TheftSmart™.

Identity Theft
Some companies' idea of restoration amounts to handing you a do-it-yourself kit. Not with ID TheftSmart™. They provide full-service restoration, which means their experienced, licensed investigators do the bulk of the work on your behalf.

Smart Credit Monitoring
Of course, the best way to safeguard your identity is through constant vigilance and early detection. ID TheftSmart™ provides continuous credit monitoring to alert you to any potential problems or suspicious activity.

Minor Monitoring
Minor Monitoring is protecting your children against Identity theft.  ID TheftSmart™ monitors for any credit activity and if activity is detected, the adult will receive an alert. 

Identity Theft Membership
For pricing and membership options please call and speak to a Personal Banker at 402-505-8500.

Ransomware Resources

The U.S. Government launched a new website to help public and private organizations defend against the rise in ransomware cases.  StopRansomware.gov is a whole-of-government approach that gives one central location for ransomware resources and alerts. We encourage organizations to use this new website to understand the threat of ransomware, mitigate risk, and in the event of an attack, know what steps to take next.

The StopRansomware.gov webpage is an interagency resource that provides ransomware protection, detection, and response guidance that they can use on a single website. This includes ransomware alerts, reports, and resources from CISA, the FBI, and other federal partners.

Keeping Seniors Safe

Top Five Cybercrimes Affecting Older Adults

Social Security Impersonation Scams
Scammers impersonate Social Security Administration employees to obtain your money or personal/financial information. 

Warning Signs:
• The caller threatens to suspend your Social Security benefits.
• The caller tries to charge you for services the Social Security Administration provides for free.

Robocalls
Hackers change their caller ID to a number other than the one they are calling from and pose as representatives from your bank, credit card company or a government agency to obtain your personal information. 

Warning Signs:
• The message says you owe money and face legal or financial consequences if you don’t pay right away.
• A prerecorded message tells you to press “1” or some other key to be taken off a call list.

Romance Scams
Scammers create fake profiles on dating sites and social media, often using stolen photos, to obtain your money or personal/financial information.

Warning Signs:
• They ask you to start communicating by text or personal email, away from the original site you met on.
• After gaining your trust, they start telling you stories of bad luck or medical emergencies.
• They ask for money, gift cards, or funds to pay off credit cards.

Family/Friend Imposter Scams
Fraudsters call you pretending to be a family member, often a grandchild, and claim to be in urgent need of money to cover an emergency. 

Warning Signs:
• A grandchild is in trouble and needs money immediately.
• They don’t want their parents to be contacted because it would get them in trouble.
• Payments are requested by wire transfer, prepaid debit card or gift card.

Tech Support Scams
Scammers use pop-up messages, fake websites, or phone calls to trick you into thinking your computer has a serious problem. They obtain your money by having you pay for fake technical support, or steal your personal/financial information by gaining access to your computer.

Warning Signs:
• You are asked to pay for tech support or other services with a gift card, cash-reload card or wire transfer.
• The message contains bad grammar or misspelled words.
• Someone calls or emails you claiming to work for a brand-name tech company such as Microsoft or Apple.

Tips to Protect Yourself

• Check your financial statements each month for any suspicious activity

• Never send money to someone you don't know personally 

• Know that fraudsters often pose as interested romantic partners on the internet

• Practice cyber security - use updated security software

• Never give your credit card, banking, Social Security, Medicare, or other personally identifiable information over the phone unless it is with a trusted, verified number or website

• Always consult your doctor before purchasing health products or treatments

• Screen your phone calls using voicemail. You do not need to respond to everyone who calls
