LifeLock - It's Serious

Here is another serious blog about life coming at you. I am sure you are all aware of identity theft, having your wallet or purse stolen, and people using your credit cards without your permission and sometimes without having your card at all. When things like this happen to you it adds a huge amount of stress to your life. There is a number out there that in the wrong hands someone can actually make your life miserable or even ruin your good name. That is your social security number. Have you heard of lifelock? I am sure you have seen the commercials with the truck driving down the streets with a number on it and a man shouting that that number is his real social security number. Now, you would have to be insane to do something like this, right? No.

Lifelock helps protect you against identity left and is so confident of it, the CEO of LifeLock is putting his own name out there to show you how effective it is. When you first sign up with Lifelock they ask the credit bureaus to place fraud alerts on you. This happens most the times within the hour of you signing up. So you do not have to wait any number of days for Lifelock to kick in, you have it within the hour. After they do that, every 90 days after that they renew the alerts. They also request your name to be taken off of all pre-approved credit lists. This not only is the number one way that thieves are able to take your identity, but you get a large amount of junk mail. So, they are getting rid of a lot of junk mail as well! This makes it worth it to sign up! When the time comes they also order your free credit reports for you. How many people do not get their free credit reports because it is too much of a hassle? Well, now you can get it and they do the work. If for some reason your identity is stolen while being a member of Lifelock, they do whatever necessary to replace your good name.

With all that, why aren't you already on it? You may think like I did at first. With all this going on, it has got to be expensive. I was surprised that it isn't expensive at all. If you are an adult it is only $10 a month or $110 a year. You can even get children on Lifelock. They cost only $25 a year or $2.50 a month. Identity theft is getting more and more frequent. Protect yourself.
