RINGWOOD, N.J. — Dealer Owned Warranty Company (DOWC®), a provider and administrator of F&I products and services, is proud to introduce a high-value identity protection product that uses innovative technology to offer multiple layers of protection, including best-in-class fraud prevention and remediation services.

Our goal in creating this ID Theft Protection product, is to provide affordable access to protection for anyone who seeks peace of mind through robust protection and real, tangible remedy should identity theft or fraud occur.

ID Theft Protection coverage offers a comprehensive suite of high-value protective services and benefits, including dark web and financial monitoring and stolen funds reimbursement to restore customers’ confidence and safety. Paired with 24/7 customer service and thorough coverage, these benefits make ID Theft Protection an outstanding value solution for the protection of your sensitive and vulnerable digital lives.

Each of us unknowingly risks exposure of our personal information online daily. As DOWC Founder & CEO Michael LaMotta explains, “Every minute we work, shop, and socialize online, we run the risk of identity theft or fraud that is often so sophisticated we are not even aware it has happened.” With an average use of four hours spent on the internet each day, those risks are substantial for users of all ages who access the web through cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other smart devices.

“Our goal in creating this ID Theft Protection product,” LaMotta explains, “is to provide affordable access to protection for anyone who seeks peace of mind through robust protection and real, tangible remedy should identity theft or fraud occur.” That recourse includes a unique suite of protective services and benefits that include fully managed restoration, stolen funds reimbursement, single credit bureau monitoring, and careful surveillance of hard-to-find “dark” websites and forums where information is traded and sold by identity thieves.

Provided by DOWC, one of the nation’s leading providers and administrators of F&I products and services, ID Theft Protection expands the opportunity for dealerships to offer protection services to their valued customers, separately or in addition to their vehicle protection needs. As identity theft and identity fraud threats continue to rise, and the costs of cybercrime skyrocket annually, this is a timely and high-value product addition to DOWC’s expansive service contract and financial protection offerings.
