One big issue that I always hear every now and then is about Identity Theft. This happens all the time here in the U.S. In fact, I am always warned by friends not to just reveal my Social Security Number (SSN) to anyone. The SSN is your life. Once online thieves gets your SSN, you are busted and they will empty your bank account in seconds. Worse, you can put your good name at risk.
How to protect yourself from Identity Theft? Easy. Visit lifelock, the industry leader in the rapidly growing field of Identity Theft Protection. They offer a proven solution that prevents your identity from being stolen before it happens. They will protect your identity and personal information for only $10 a month - and they guarantees their service up to a whooping $1,000,000.
Here's what they say from their website:
First, we ask the credit bureaus to set free fraud alerts on your behalf. Usually, this is done through our automated systems and the alerts are set within an hour. From time to time there may be a hitch and we have to do the first one manually, usually because they have a different address on file for you. If this happens, we'll tell you right away and do what needs to be done to get the alerts set. (In case you're wondering, we don't charge anything more for this and our Total Service Guarantee is still in effect from day one.)
Second, unless your circumstances change and you tell us not to, every 90 days or so we ask the credit bureaus to do it again. You can do this for free if you'd prefer, but we make sure it gets done and that it gets done right. That's where the oil change analogy we were talking about kicks in.
Third, we request that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists and we keep making the requests as they expire. Statistics show that this is one of the many ways that thieves hijack identities. Plus, all that mail is just so irritating. Many of our members tell us that this alone is worth the price. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can do this for free, but why not let us do it for you?
Fourth, we order your free credit reports on your behalf from the major credit bureaus and they are sent directly to you. We do this every year. You can also do this yourself for free (Pennzoil anyone?).
Fifth, hassling with lost or stolen wallets is no longer a problem with WalletLockâ˘. If ever your wallet goes missing, just give us a call - anytime, anywhere - and a WalletLock specialist will help you contact each credit card, bank or document issuing company, cancel your affected accounts and complete the paperwork and steps necessary to replace your lost documents*, including your credit/debit cards, driver's license, social security card, insurance cards, checkbook - even travelers checks - at no additional cost.
Last, but certainly not least: If your Identity is stolen while you are a member of LifeLock, we're going to do whatever it takes to recover your good name. If you need lawyers, we're going to hire the best we can find. If you need investigators, accountants, case managers, whatever, they're yours. If you lose money as a result of the theft, we're going to give it back to you.
Lifelock got your back. Why wait? Check it out yourself.
