How IDMERIT’s Identity Verification Solutions Can Protect You From Online Scams

Concern over identity theft and other online scams seems to be a way of life once you do anything online. With 32 known types of criminal fraud, there are some easy suggestions to avoid some of these online scams and scammers. Installing antivirus software and firewalls, encrypting data, making sure your data is properly deleted, checking your privacy settings, and other device protections can protect you and your devices from most hacking attempts, data breaches, or online scams.
