Super informative. Thanks so much for the info and links!
Thank you so much for this information .. I did in fact use your links to put a freeze on myself and am grateful you had the links for this scary time for me and my family
Glad to hear it!
This was an incredible video. Great job buddy!
Thanks a ton!
I've just recently discovered that I had sensitive information physically stolen from me. Where should I go from here?
You should reach out to Focusutensil and his team to get this sort out .
Great video and love that you answered the question in the beginning of the video. Earned a sub.
Thanks! Glad you’ll be sticking around.
Thing is. U still have to enter ur social on the web 🕸 when signing up to anyone of them. And that got Me because I don't know which is legit
My bank & credit card send me a statement each month with my credit score it's usually off by a few numbers, which I can overlook. If it drops dramatically it's time for me to investigate with getting a copy of my credit report & freeze all my accounts. I never put any personal information on the internet about myself or give out anything over the phone. People put too much information about themselves. No one needs to know your birthday, where you live or work, your income, when you go on vacation, etc. The less they know about you, the better off you are down the road. 👍
Bro, nice work on your videos. Hope your channel does really well for you.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the info! But when you said "95% of the time it leads to nothing," is that a real statistic or an arbitrary figure? Thanks again!
Josh / All Things Secured has changed the way I look after my Internet security. From a Password manager - double blind passwords, browser with best security - most secure Search Engine - Virtual Banking - Credit Cards and removable security devices. From this list you may think I've using this site for a long time, not at all... only 3 days! So I ask myself what more will I find in the coming weeks / months from this site. Naturally I have subscribed...can't wait for more. Thank you.
Glad to hear it, Dave!
Hello thank you for this video and I was hoping you could tell me if I put a freeze on my account with these credit companies can I still apply for my credit check?
You can check your credit and so can any lenders with whom you already have accounts. But no new credit inquiries.
The only reason I would sign up with them would be for the insurance they provide.
What about those service Kroll ? They seem sketchy , thoughts?
What if theft protection app do u use ?
Hey Josh, I heard that Identity Force is a Five Eyes member. Is that true? If so, is that ok?
I just received a letter saying. Notice of data breach from TMX Finance , idk what to do
Make a separate video on identy lock.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I have questions I need addressed re the identity monitoring service Kroll offers. I have rec'd a letter from a large law firm informing me they have experiences "a data breach" & my personal data has been accessed. Is the Kroll monitoring services being offered as a 'free protection" by this lawfirm Is this a thing I need to sign up for??? Tks
Same, have you been using it ?
Apparently Aura is the best of all. What's your thoughts?
I'm considering get identity theft protection because this one company I'm about to work for (Work from home) doesn't have the best cyber security and they want me to email my ssn and id to them via Gmail which is dum but I need this job bad. :/
Yea, it’s always good to monitor that stuff if you’re having to give it out so freely.
I did a speech on identity theft last year and that when I found out about the credit freeze.
Mastercard World Elite Cards offer ID theft protection for free, is that worth it?
Perks associated with premium credit cards are worth it as part of the card, but I wouldn't pay the annual fee for the card just because they offer ID theft protection.
All you need is a credit freeze.
I have a $ 5,000.00 computer and it would be STUPID for me to not have security for my computer. And my identify is no different (dark-web).
Do you still use identity force
Any business transaction bearing the name Eddie Casino Galindo is illegal.
Ok?
What you think about Id theft defense?
Can you be more specific? What exactly are you referring to here?
@@AllThingsSecured it’s a website I use that’s what it’s called just wanted your opinion on the website
I’ve never heard of it. Sorry.
How does one get their "info" off the online black markets after its leaked? Seems as difficult as getting toothpaste back in it's tube..
It's practically impossible. If it's your credit, you'll want to put a credit freeze. If it's your passwords you'll want to change them and use a password manager. For other info (phone, address, etc.) there are ways to change that as well that I cover on this UA-cam channel.
Could you please come back to us on Jumbo app?
I appreciate the recommendation. I’ve never used Jumbo before and although it looks interesting, the truth is I have a backlog of other software to check out.
T-mobile has entered the chat.
How so?
Im Handicapped and my former Husband made me FAMOUS in JEWLERY!!now im Creating my Own Business!!.
But Scared Of My 55yrs Going in the Tube the Libra in me Says !!! Oh yer my Family members of my Fiancee are Steeling from me!!!
This guy is a total newb. It's not a mater of "if", it is a matter of "when"...and you don't want to be on your own when that happens!!!
Why is there music playing while You are talking? Is this meant to be entertainment?
Thanks for the feedback, James.
Scam. Because ANY service that’s in the business of collecting your information should provide you free monitoring of their service.
I have stalkers so anything helps.
Aura is a total waste of money. You can do everything they do. They are a total rip off.
A Brutal Awakening - My Aura Identity Guard Suite Experience
On a day colored by the monochromatic shades of grief, an unexpected blow was dealt, served cold by Aura Identity Guard Suite. A day that could have marked the peaceful end of my membership transitioned into a nightmarish reality of financial implications and a policy that stood as an uncaring edifice in the backdrop of personal loss.
While ensconced within the unforgiving walls of a hospital, cradling the lingering echoes of my father’s departure from this world, I made an attempt to cancel my membership. Yet, my digital plea fell on infertile grounds, as I wrestled with the app to no avail. The interface, once a herald of protection, now became an un-scalable fortress to my desperate calls for cancellation. This dam erected between me and my intention was not enough; they proceeded to draw funds from my account, preying upon silence and misfortune.
Come the following day, hope washed over me with the possibility of connecting with a human at the other end of all this - Dominique. However, this wave of solace broke against the steadfast and brutal reality of Aura's ironclad policy. There were no refunds, not even for reasons cloaked in pain and necessity, as heavy as the burden of arranging for one's final honor - a cremation.
The veil was lifted from Aura Identity Guard’s muscular facade to reveal a heart devoid of empathy, remorse, and consideration. The funds evaporated from my account without prior warning, leaving behind a trail of desperate emails and irrefutable evidences bearing testimony to my claim.
It is in this moment of agonizing retrospection and active warning that I lay bare my experience. Beware the lure of Aura's services, shrouded in promises that dissolve when truly tested. Seek alternative safeguards; do not let their policies trap you in a vortex of loss and financial despair. The disheartening lack of human touch in their customer service is a bitter pill to gulp down; thus, it is best to steer clear lest you find yourself adrift in the same painful sea that I am currently navigating.
Remember, there is power in choosing right and being empowered - let this be your navigation map in a world filled with choices. Avoid my fate, choose wisely, and stay shielded.
