The OmniWatch suite of features provides optimal online safety with robust protection options, including one of, if not the most comprehensive identity theft protection insurance coverage plans in the industry, dark web monitoring, and our most recent offering–the Scam Protection Center.
The Scam Protection Center provides users with an easy-to-access tool to check for scams anywhere, anytime, right on their phone. The feature allows users to check messages, emails, and links for safety before they open them. This extra protection can help users avoid ransomware, social engineering schemes, and other forms of digital fraud.
This tool is one of the most powerful in the OmniWatch suite for multiple reasons. When utilized, this feature can help users avoid a scam text, email, or link before any trouble arises. The old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” applies here.
If it’s past the prevention phase of identity theft, our users can rest easy knowing that our insurance coverage is second to none!
By offering industry-leading insurance plans and protection that other brands have neglected, OmniWatch has positioned itself as a champion for consumer protection in a volatile and increasingly unsafe online world.
OmniWatch dark web monitoring is continuous and gives users peace of mind by scanning the dark web 24/7 for their data. If a user’s information is found on the dark web, they’ll be notified and can take action to protect themselves and their assets right away.

Scam Protection Center - This feature is unique in that is provides users the option to scan a text, URL, or email message to gauge the correspondence for potential threats. A screenshot or link can be uploaded to the center, the app scans for threats, and then provides a safety score letting the user know if a communication is legitimate or probably a scam.
This feature provides users instant access to a safety tool that protects them from incoming threats in real-time, anywhere.
Best in Industry Insurance - With up to $2 million in identity theft protection coverage for all accounts and $25,000 for ransomware and social engineering coverage available with an Elite plan, OmniWatch has one of the most all-encompassing insurance coverage packages available today.
Most other ID theft protection providers don't cover ransomware or social engineering (when you get tricked into sharing credentials or money with a scammer), but OmniWatch does. Even banks, financial institutions like Zelle, and credit card companies won't cover losses from these types of fraud, but OmniWatch will.
We recognize that online scammers are evolving their techniques using AI technology. With these advancements, threats are becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect.
If a user is tricked through AI deepfakes, voice cloning, and other advanced fraud types, they won't be out in the cold. That company mindset is a rarity in the industry. Other top credit monitoring and ID theft protection providers don't offer this coverage or offer minimal coverage at best.
