What do You have to lose without
Identity Theft Protection?

Well, for starters, your good name. Most people don't consider their name valuable until they have to clean up what an Identity Theft has damaged. It can take years to clean up what only took minutes for a thief to destroy. Days lost from work, phone calls from collection agencies,
thousands of dollars for attorneys, but in as little as 15 minutes, Lifelock can give you one less thing to worry about.

Identity Theft Prevention and
Social Security Number Protection

They will do whatever it takes to help you recover your good name and they will use their $1 Million Total Service Guarantee to do it.

They don't think you will see a
guarantee like this anywhere else
from any other company.

If you have a reason to think that you will become a victim of Identity Theft, they can help you stop looking over your shoulder, because they've got your back.

 

Here's what they do:

First, they ask the credit bureaus to set 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 they have to do the first one manually, usually because they have a different address on file for you. If this happens, they'll tell you right away and do what needs to be done to get the alerts set.
(In case you're wondering, they don't charge anything more for this and their $1 Million Total Service Guarantee is still in effect from day one.)

Second, unless your circumstances change and you tell them not to, every 90 days or so they ask the credit bureaus to do it again. You can do this for free if you'd prefer, but they make sure it gets done and that it gets done right. That's where the oil change analogy they're were talking about kicks in.

Third, they request that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists and they keep making the requests as they expire. Statistics show that this is one of the most common ways that thieves hijack identities. Plus, all that mail is just so irritating. Many of their clients tell them that this alone is worth the price. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can do this for free, but why not let them do it for you?

Fourth, they order your free credit reports on your behalf from the major credit bureaus and they are sent directly to you. They do this every year. You can also do this yourself for free.

Last, but certainly not least: If your Identity is stolen while you are their client, they're going to do whatever it takes to recover your good name. If you need lawyers, they're going to hire the best they can find. If you need investigators, accountants, case managers, whatever, they're yours. If you lose money as a result of the theft, they're going to give it back to you.

Protecting Personal Data

Personal information has become the currency of choice for criminals because the credit system allows consumers with a good credit rating to easily set up lines of credit until fraud is detected.

Thieves would rather steal an individual’s reputation than what is in his wallet. Compromised data are routinely bought and sold by individuals and organized crime through Internet chat rooms, electronic-payment systems and online casinos.


The data can pop up anywhere — from Russia, where credit card numbers are ripe for the picking on Web sites, to the Middle East, where terrorist groups finance operations through ID theft, and South Central Los Angeles, where street gangs do the same.
