If you receive a High-Risk Transaction alert, it is important to act quickly to protect your financial information. Here is what you should do:
1. Review the transaction
Check the details of the transaction to see if you recognize it. Sometimes, high-risk alerts are triggered by large purchases or unusual spending locations.
2. Verify the charge
Contact Ultra Identity Defense to verify the transaction is legitimate.
3. Update passwords
Change your passwords for your financial accounts. Remember that we offer PassWatch to easily secure and keep track of your passwords.
4. Alert Credit Bureaus
Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze on your credit reports with the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). This can help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.
