how identity theft actually starts

The fraud starts with a Google search.

The playbook is boring. That's why it works at scale.

PROBLEM 01

Thieves don't hack you. They Google you.

Before opening a fake credit card or filing a bogus tax return, identity thieves pull a target's full name, address, DOB, phone, and relatives from data broker sites. The whole packet costs about $5 per person on the open web.

PROBLEM 02

The FTC logged 1.1M reports in 2024.

Consumer fraud losses hit $12.5 billion last year, a 25% jump over 2023 (FTC Consumer Sentinel). Most started with personal info pulled from public sources, not a sophisticated hack.

PROBLEM 03

Credit monitoring is a fire alarm, not a lock.

Credit monitoring can flag suspicious activity. Reducing unnecessary public exposure adds another layer, but no privacy service can prevent identity theft.

how we lock it down

Four steps. No homework.

GhostVault prepares and tracks eligible privacy requests, then follows up on unresolved work and supported records that may return.

01

See your exposure

A free masked scan finds possible public records from supported sources without revealing full contact details to anonymous visitors.

02

We file removals

CCPA deletion demands sent within 24 hours of signup, citing California SB 362. We act as your authorized agent.

03

Track the work

The dashboard separates prepared and submitted requests from broker replies and verified removals.

04

Monthly re-scans

We check supported sources again and follow up on eligible unresolved work.

the outcome

Stop being the easiest target.

We can't guarantee you'll never be targeted. What we can do is make the basic reconnaissance fraudsters rely on come up empty, so they move on to someone whose data is still one Google search away.

answers first

The stuff people ask about identity theft.

How does removing my info prevent identity theft?+
Identity thieves use data broker sites to research potential victims before committing fraud. By removing your personal information from these sites, you eliminate the easiest way for criminals to gather the data they need to steal your identity. It's like locking your doors, it doesn't guarantee safety, but it makes you a much harder target.
What information do identity thieves actually look for?+
Typically: your full name, date of birth, current and past addresses, phone number, relatives' names, and sometimes SSN fragments. They piece this together from multiple data broker sites, social media, and old breaches. Once they have enough, they can open credit cards, take out loans, file fake tax returns, or commit fraud in your name.
Can GhostVault prevent 100% of identity theft?+
No. GhostVault reduces unnecessary public exposure and monitors verified emails for known breach appearances. Credit freezes, unique passwords, multi-factor authentication, and account monitoring remain essential.
How is this different from credit monitoring?+
Credit monitoring alerts you AFTER someone has already used your identity fraudulently. At that point the damage is done. GhostVault is preventive, we remove the personal information criminals need BEFORE they can commit fraud. The two pair well; neither replaces the other.
Will this affect legitimate background checks?+
No. Employers, landlords, and legitimate background check companies use different sources than public data broker sites, credit bureaus, government records, employment verification databases. Your information stays in all of those. We only remove you from public people-search and data broker sites.
What if my identity has already been stolen?+
Immediately: (1) File a report at IdentityTheft.gov, (2) Place a fraud alert with all three credit bureaus, (3) File a police report. Then use GhostVault to remove your information from data brokers so thieves can't keep running the same playbook. Credit monitoring is not enough, you have to remove the source data.

Your data is a $5 Google search right now.

Run the free scan, you'll see exactly what a thief would see. Then decide.
