A LifeLock testimonial

January 13, 2010 – 5:10 pm

We frequently write about ID theft news and how they relate to you. We also write about the benefits of LifeLock and what they’re membership can do to help deter identity theft and credit fraud from happening to you. One of the methods LifeLock helps to protect is by monitoring your credit. When a request is made for your credit information LifeLock immediately notifies you — not tomorrow, not next week, that day. Here’s a personal testimonial sent in by one of our readers that backs that claim up.

I figured you may like to know how impressed I am with Lifelock and their protection service. I’ve been a Lifelock member for nearly a year now not because I think someone is necessarily going to rip me off, but because it eases my mind. Anyway it’s easy to forget about being a member when you have no activity with your credit, but recently I applied for a credit card to a certain Swedish furniture place. My wife wants to do some remodeling. I applied online and right after a message popped up in my email. I checked it thinking it was the confirmation from the credit card that I had applied for the card.

Nope. It was from Lifelock. Within a minute of applying for credit I had a message from Lifelock telling me someone had applied using my name and the following information. I couldn’t believe it! They beat the automated email from the credit card company by 3 minutes! Unbelievable! Even though it was a legitimate credit request Lifelock was there to let me know about it that fast. A few days late I received a letter from Lifelock with the same information. They wanted to make sure I knew about the request.

After this I have no doubts about how well Lifelock is doing their job. Just thought you’d like to know.

We thanked Joey for sending us his story and the screenshot of the emails. That really is impressive. Do you have your own LifeLock story that you’d like to share? Let us know by posting it in the comments.
