Intelius: Protection Services
Naveen Jain formed Intelius in January 2003 on a solid vision of delivering intelligently integrated information through innovative technologies. Through intelligent information, the Bellevue, Washington-based firm gives its clients the power to make informed decisions, to reconnect with people they have lost touch with, and to protect their loved ones and their businesses. Intellius recognizes that when information lands in the wrong hands, it can be harmful to individuals and businesses. To address this, Intelius offers protection services to clients. Criminal Check - Intellius furnishes a Criminal Report containing records of misdemeanors, felonies, sex offenses, criminal convictions, and other criminal offenses linked to the person. Reverse Cell Phone Directory - This service allows clients to know their callers, providing them with an Online Caller ID report containing information linked to the number of the caller including his/her name, address, phone carrier, and more. Sex Offender Check - With this service, Intelius gives out information on sex offenders living in and around the neighborhood. Data would include the names of offenders, photos, offender descriptions, offense details, map of sex offenders living in your area, and last known address/location. IDWatch - This identity protection service began in 2005. IDWatch uses an early warning system that involves continuous monitoring of the client’s financial, professional, and personal information, checking for changes, and then alarming clients of potential fraudulent actions through cell phone or email. Upon the client’s subscription, IDWatch provides him/her with an identity report including his/her information found in public records, credit reports, and commercial records. In addition, IDWatch includes insurance for identity theft victims, giving them comprehensive protection and coverage, with recovery-related costs insured up to $25,000.
