| July 03, 2007 | | "Understanding and Protecting Against Identity Theft!" |  Troy Allen is a specialist in identity theft and vice president of the Fraud Solutions Group at Kroll Background America, where he is charged with providing theft restoration services to the consumer market.
Prior to coming to Kroll, Troy concentrated on sales and marketing within the banking, insurance and real estate industries with such firms as Union Planters Bank and FISI Madison Financial, an international direct response affinity marketing organization owned by Cendant Corp. He has worked on marketing campaigns for all of the top 25 and most of the national and regional financial institutions in the U.S. Many of those campaigns centered on identity theft products offered to consumers.
Troy holds an M.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing, and a B.S. in Business Administration. He is also a licensed private investigator and a proud member of the National Association of REALTORS®.
In his real estate interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio he provides the following real estate tips: The Kroll Identity Theft Program - Kroll, a security and risk management company for 30 years, has a low profile because most clients (major organizations and governments) don't want the public to know they needed services for security breaches.
- Unlike service companies that give consumers a checklist to implement themselves, Kroll does most of the actual work to resolve identity issues on behalf of the victim-finding the organizations involved, making the phone calls, emails and faxes, and handling disputes and follow-ups.
- The cost of the Kroll restoration service for someone already a victim is $1,495; by special arrangement with the Society, members can sign up for ID TheftSmart®, a low-cost program ($9.95/month) providing comprehensive use of Kroll services-credit monitoring and identity services.
