ATLANTA, GA – 3DCart, a comprehensive shopping cart software provider and IDology, a leading identity verification provider, today announced a partnership to better serve the ecommerce industry. Now merchant clients of 3DCart can combat fraud and identity theft by integrating any of IDology’s identity and age verification solutions into their online shopping cart suite.

MerlineCryption, LLC, a company that provides encryption software to the consumer market, recently launched its online shopping cart with IDology’s identity verification technology integrated in it.  As Brandon Brown, Partner and CMO of MerlinCryption explains:

“Having identity verification integrated into our shopping cart speeds up our processing rates since we don’t have to manually review transactions to be sure they are from legitimate people.  These two solutions are a natural fit and were so easy to integrate.  Plus we have more confidence that we are not selling our technology to bad guys such as known terrorists on the OFAC list or an identity thief.”

IDology’s solutions allow businesses to electronically proof the identity and age of people in customer-not-present situations.  The company offers different levels of identity verification including dynamic knowledge based authentication which relies on out-of-wallet challenge questions to determine someone is who they say they are. By incorporating IDology’s real-time identity verification solutions into their shopping cart platform, 3DCart customers will have the ability to automatically verify consumer identities at the point of transaction based on the business rules they have put in place within IDology’s system.

“We are very excited about our partnership with IDology,” said Jimmy Rodriguez, 3DCart’s Chief Technology Officer. “Being able to offer our merchants a complete identity and age verification solution like IDology’s helps expand the benefits of operating in an ecommerce channel while also protecting them from fraud.”

“Our solutions are great for any size merchant that wants to have a higher assurance that their consumers are legitimate including being able to verify someone is who they say they are with our out-of-wallet question solution,” said John Dancu, CEO of IDology.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau has advice for securing your mail and reducing potentially “dangerous” junk mail

Wallingford, CT Wallingford, CT – While many Americans believe most identity theft occurs during online transactions, consumers need look no further than their own home for a potential “open door” to identity thieves: The mailbox.

According to a Javelin Strategy and Research survey, more than eight million Americans became the victims of ID theft this past year, with nearly a half million the result of stolen mail.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Hotton Scarpetti, says there is a significant risk of identity theft from your own mailbox.

“Thieves can steal pre-approved credit cards, bank, credit card and other financial statements, as well as a wealth of other material to enable them to ultimately steal your identity.”

There are a number of measures consumers can take to protect themselves from these criminals:

1.Secure your mailbox

Consider replacing your mailbox with a slot in your door or a locked mailbox which requires a key to remove mail.

2.Reduce junk mail

One person’s garbage is an identity theft’s goldmine. Fifty-six percent of identity theft is the result of direct contact with the victim’s personal information by rifling through a mailbox or trash can.

3.Shred sensitive material

Many people consider junk mail a nuisance and simply throw it out. But some of that unwanted mail may contain pre-approved credit offers that may be used to open fraudulent accounts. Make sure they are shredded before throwing them out.

4.Opt-out of Junk Mail

You can reduce the risk of mailbox threats by opting-out of pre-screened, pre-approved credit card offers by calling 1-888-567-8688 or visit www.optoutprescreen.com. You will be asked for personal information including your name, address, date of birth and Social Security Number. This information is used to process your request and remains confidential.

You may also stop unwanted junk mail by contacting the Direct Marketing Association and asking to be removed from their marketing list at www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailing.

Finally, carefully read materials from your financial institutions to look for an “opt-out” clause which will enable you to prevent the sharing of your personal information with other parties.

Outgoing mail is also at risk of being hijacked, so consumers are urged to drop off mail with payments and other sensitive information in a U.S. Postal Service letter box.
