LifeLock Reviews

February 7, 2008 – 3:38 pm

There are a lot of identity theft protection services available now, some better than others. LifeLock’s services and guarantee are the best.

What sets LifeLock above the rest is that they actually prevent identity theft. They’ll put fraud alerts on your credit records. And then, every 90 days when the fraud alerts expire, LifeLock goes back and renews them. Anytime someone tries to open an account using your information, LifeLock will contact you to confirm that it’s really you submitting a credit application. Just say the word, and identity thieves are stopped cold.

We all know we’re supposed to check our credit reports at least once a year; LifeLock will automatically order the report and send it to you to make sure it gets done.

LifeLock will even take your name off junk mail and phone solicitation lists. Those pre-approved credit offers are more than just an annoyance and a waste of trees; they’re one of the easiest ways for criminals to acquire your personal information and apply for credit in your name. No more phone calls from telemarketers during dinner, and far fewer hang-up calls. LifeLock protects your good name and gives you relief from daily annoyances.

They’ll also provide you with a product called WalletLock. If your wallet or purse is lost or stolen, they’ll immediately begin replacing your documents. They’ll take care of your driver’s license, Social Security card, credit cards, insurance cards … any documents you carried will be replaced. If your passport or visas are stolen, they can even take care of replacing them. And this service they provide with no additional of charge.

Their service costs only $10 a month. And, to add to your feeling of security, LifeLock is the only identity theft protection service that backs up their service with a $1,000,000 guarantee. If for any reason their system fails and identity thieves use your personal information, LifeLock will pay up to $1,000,000 to make things right for you.

You could do all of this yourself, but do you want to? You could cut your own hair, too, but most people elect to pay someone else so the job gets done right. It’s the same with your credit protection; hire a professional for the best results.
