Business Identity Theft

Identity Theft is one of the biggest fraud issues facing the world today. Identity thieves unlawfully use the names, logos and banking information of legitimate businesses fraudulently so as to create fictitious accounts and identities with no intention of paying. These actions can cause extensive damage very quickly and cause severe damage to the company’s finances as well as their hard-earned goodwill and reputation.

You may well ask, how do ID thieves work, herewith a couple of examples: 

  • They use pick-up and delivery timetables to intercept goods.
  • Discarded letterheads to obtain logos and correct typeface for business name.
  • Bank records to establish authenticity
  • Establish a temporary surgery/office space in your name.
  • Open fake accounts in their name.
  • Manipulate business or credit records.
  • Order merchandise or services with stolen credit card information or bogus account details.
  • Launch scams and phishing attacks to your customer base to get confidential information.
  • There is also the no-tech approach involving rummaging through trash for revealing and discarded documents and files, expired passports, ID cards or driver’s licences of company officials and directors.

If your business becomes a victim of identity theft, we are able to assist you in remedying the situation quickly and efficiently.

What do we cover?

  • Via our investigators and service providers, we will work with yourself to clear your tarnished name and ensure your credit records are put back into the position they were prior to the ID Theft.

Exclusions / What is not provided in terms of this service:

  • We do not cover the consequences of the ID theft i.e. any debts of the likes.

VetProtect assisted me in obtaining Medical Malpractice cover for me to start consulting and complete the next level of my cognitive rehabilitation therapy. VetProtect has therefore played an integral part in my rehabilitation process to progress with cognitive rehabilitation therapy and therefore become an independent veterinary surgeon again.

ABOUT US

VetProtect covers veterinary practices including veterinary professionals as well as lay staff under one single policy. Individual vets can also obtain insurance, should they so wish. Each practice is assessed individually in terms of its risk profile and an insurance quote is then provided based on the profile of the practice. We do not believe in a one size fits all and if your profile entitles you to lower premiums, then you should get that benefit over practices who have a higher risk profile.
