Keep your devices updatedMake sure to install antivirus protection and regularly implement security patches. In addition, it's advisable to periodically enlist the services of an external consultant or provider to conduct security vulnerability assessments on your network and web applications to prevent potential exploitation by attackers. It's also crucial to stay current with software security updates on all your devices and only download trusted apps and operating systems. Finally, don't forget to extend these security practices to your children's phones, tablets, and laptops as well.

Step 1: Report fraudulent or unrecognized transactionsIn case of any unrecognized or unauthorized card transactions on your account, please use the "Report an issue" button and provide as many details as possible to aid our investigation. For other types of fraud incidents such as account compromise or phishing attempts, please report them to fraud@tryjeeves.com
Step 2: Contact your financial institutionsReview all of your accounts for unauthorized activity to help determine how long your info has been compromised and prepare you for these conversations. Call your banks and credit unions and ask for the Fraud department, explain what's happened, and be clear what they—and you—can do to resolve it. For credit cards, call the number printed on the back of your card. You can usually notify them online or in their app, too.
Step 3: Report to credit bureausYou can report fraud to credit bureaus and place a fraud alert on your credit report, which requires creditors to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account. There's no charge, they don't affect your credit score, and can be removed at any time. What's more, if you place a fraud alert at one bureau, they’ll notify the other ones for you.
Step 4: Report to your local police authority and anti-fraud centerIf you choose, you can report this to your local police authority and your local anti-fraud center. Reporting scams to law enforcement helps prevent others from becoming victims, however, reporting to the police will not have any effect on the speed, priority, or resolution of your claims. Some institutions, agencies, and credit bureaus will ask for the report number or a copy of the police report.
Step 5: Secure your accounts and review activityScammers can change info in your accounts, so check for things like phone numbers, email, or mailing addresses that have been added or changed in your accounts.
