Protect Your Identity With
LifeLock Identity Theft Protection Services

You've probably seen the commercial on TV with a well to do man holding up his social security number for all the world to see. Or you've sat on a bus where the side rail has an advertisement of that same man with the words "this is my real social security number" emblazoned on the billboard. You may wonder, "how can this man be so confident to give away his social security number in the age of identity theft?" Well, that's what they want you to ask. It's a fantastic ad campaign for sure, and it has skyrocketed LifeLock to the top of the identity theft protection industry.

In 2005, LifeLock entered the field of identity theft protection services with a system so powerful, that the CEO has been confidently plastering his social security number around the world since. It has a seven pronged approach to protecting your identity that is both successful and cost efficient. For the most part, what LifeLock does for you, you could do for yourself, the difference is that protecting your identity is all that they do, while you have many other things to juggle in your daily life.

To begin, LifeLock works with the credit bureaus to set free fraud alerts on your behalf. They can usually turn this around within an hour, but if there's a hitch, they'll work with you and won't charge you a penny more for their extra time. Next, they work with the bureaus to reconfirm these fraud alerts every 90 days.

Their third step in their 7 pronged approach is to get your name and contact information taken off of all those annoying junk mail lists. Your name will no longer be added to any of those credit offers that fill your mailbox and could easily get lost or stolen. After this, they personally mail you your yearly credit reports from all three bureaus so that you can stay on top of your score.

The fifth and sixth steps are where things get interesting. If your wallet is lost or stolen, LifeLock offers a service called WalletLock™ which takes away the hassle of contacting all your credit card companies. LifeLock will help you cancel all your cards and ensure that the bureaus are alerted of a possible stolen credit card. After that, LifeLock goes a step further with eRecon™ and TrueAddress™. eRecon scours all criminal websites and databases to make sure your identity is not being used and TrueAddress notifies you if anyone has put an address in your name.

Finally, what makes LifeLock so appealing to consumers is their $1 Million Service Guarantee. If your identity is stolen while a member of LifeLock, they will do whatever it takes to get it back and fix your good name. They will even spend up to $1 Million on lawyers,legal fees, investigators, accountants, case managers, and more. Whatever it takes to protect your identity, LifeLock will be there.
