LaMonte Nelson-Spears
@lamontenelson-spears
Fraud Detection & Remote Customer Support professional combining verification, technical troubleshooting, and calm incident resolution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a fraud detection and remote customer support professional with more than three decades of experience protecting sensitive information while resolving complex concerns. I review account activity and system-generated alerts, authenticate customers through established verification procedures, and document findings accurately in case-management systems.
I bring a proven blend of customer-facing operations and technical problem solving—handling escalations, investigating incidents, and researching knowledge-base guidance to deliver clear next steps. I also coach others on policy compliance, incident documentation, de-escalation, and user training, with a strong track record of meeting quality, accuracy, productivity, schedule-adherence, and data-security expectations.
