I heard about My ID Score on the radio and though I’d give it a try. My ID Score is a three digit number between 1 and 999. It describes your risk of being a victim of identity fraud and gives you real–time, actionable insight into the security of your identity.
My ID Score is different than a credit score. A credit score indicates your creditworthiness. My ID Score indicates the risk that you might be a victim of identity fraud. Your specific My ID Score will fall somewhere within three score ranges: Low, Moderate, or High. A higher score indicates a greater identity fraud risk.
To get going you enter your name, address and home phone number. You can also enter your SSN to get a more accurate risk assessment, but it is not required. I didn’t enter mine and was still able to get results. Identity theft can happen to any of us, so it’s good know how concerned we should be. I wouldn’t call this a fool-proof way of determining your risk, but it is a start.
