More people signing up to use ID protection services

July 14, 2010 – 10:50 am

There are now more than 50 million Americans using identity theft protection services, meaning more people are thinking proactively when it comes to protecting their most sensitive information.

There are many identity theft protection and credit monitoring services out there, and some tout free credit reports while looking for a band while others simply copy LifeLock. But all the bells and whistles in the world won’t get you the peace of mind you get with LifeLock.

LifeLock was the first and is certainly the best. Instead of offering you just the opportunity to view your credit report, which you could get free on your own, LifeLock is thinking the way most Americans are – proactively.

LifeLock offers fraud detection, database monitoring, data source monitoring, coverage of lost wages, recovery services, credit card monitoring, an end to pre-approved credit offers, scanning of the Internet for the sale or trading of your personal information, address verification, and lost/stolen wallet protection. If your information is ever compromised, you’ll be notified immediately via e-mail or telephone.

One of LifeLock’s best features is that you can sign up for the basic service, or you can sign up for LifeLock Command Center™, which offers more proactive measures. As part of the Center, your information will be monitored in all the “regular” ways, as well as the non-traditional areas, such as public reports, court records, aliases and even sex offender registries.

On top of all of that, LifeLock offers protection for your children’s identities as well at a very affordable rate and, if your information is ever compromised on their watch, LifeLock will spend up to $1 million to restore your good name.

The basic membership for LifeLock’s services is $10, or the Command Center membership is $15. You can receive 30 days free and get a 10 percent discount on enrollment with the LifeLock Promo Code “Defense.”
