Gone are the days of losing a cell phone and the biggest worry being OMG, how
\nam I going to get all my contacts back?
\n<\/span>Losing a phone today is almost worse than having a laptop stolen. <\/span>With a laptop, the thief will have to do some
\nhunting to find your banking website, credit card websites, and so on.<\/span>With a phone, the apps we all love and adore,
\nmake a thiefs life very easy.<\/span>They simply
\ngo to the apps and instantly know where you bank, what credit cards you hold,
\nhave access to your Facebook account giving them access to all of your personal
\ninformation with just a few presses of the finger.<\/p>\n

The bank does offer the ability
\nto enroll in account notifications via email so you know your account balance
\nand activity at all times. <\/span>The ironic
\npart is the bank immediately sends out the email letting you know there has been
\nactivity on your account so you can act quickly if you didnt authorize the
\npurchase or transfer.<\/span>With mobile
\ntechnology<\/a>, the thief would see the notification email and they simply
\ndelete the email and the crime could possibly go completely unnoticed or at a
\nminimum go unnoticed until the awkwardsir, your card was declined moment.<\/p>\n

The month of June was National
\nInternet Safety Month<\/a>. <\/span>Now that June
\nis over, we will soon be in peak vacation season amd a lot of us will be
\naccessing our bank accounts and paying bills using our mobile devices while on
\nvacation. <\/span>We never want to be
\ndisconnected so we take our phone with us to the pool and beach. <\/span>Until mobile devices become waterproof, we
\nare forced to either pay for a locker (which no one does), or hide the phone
\nunder the towel (which we are probably all guilty of). <\/span>It would be extremely easy for someone to
\nquickly grab the device, do a transfer, wait the 30 seconds for the email,
\ndelete it, and disappear. <\/span><\/p>\n

We all want the convenience of
\nhaving instant access to our accounts, but isnt protecting your hard earned
\nmoney worth an extra few seconds? <\/span>The EVS fraud
\nprevention solutions<\/a> can stop an identity thief from accessing accounts in
\njust thata few seconds! <\/p>\n
