My Personal Review Of LifeLock By Robert Gantt

Like anyone else these days, I hear about identity theft all the time. Though it seems to be on the rise, I hadn’t thought much about it. Given how hard it can be to establish good credit, it’s something we should all be more aware of; identity thieves are out there.

This point was illustrated for me by an experience a close friend had. Her identity was stolen and her life was nearly ruined! Only after a year of hassle and inconvenience was she able to get things back on track.

Just imagine how stressful this must be. You are at risk of losing everything if you become a victim of identity theft: and most don’t realize they are a victim until it is too late.

It was about this time that I heard my first advertisement for LifeLock, The identity protection company. What got my attention was that the ceo of the company came on the radio ad and actually gave out his social security number on the air.

I think you’d agree that’s either supreme confidence or complete lunacy.

Either way, my interest had been piqued, and I was now determined to find out.

Taking a look at the company website, I saw the social security number of the CEO, Todd Davis right there of the front page. Again, I found myself impressed by his confidence in his product.

The company gives a 1,000,000 guarantee - further displaying the confidence they have in their service.

According to the website if your Identity is stolen while you are a member of LifeLock, LifeLock is going to do whatever it takes to recover your good name. If you need lawyers, they are going to hire the best they can find. If you need investigators, accountants, case managers, whatever, they’re yours. If you lose money as a result of the theft, they guarantee to give it back to you.

Whatever it takes, LifeLock will make sure it gets done and they’ll spend as much as a million bucks to make sure you’re taken care of.

And the price of all this protection? Only ten dollars a month! Needless to say, I signed up.

Fraud alerts are very handy. Once creditors are established with the credit bureaus, they must verify your identity before they can open lines of credit in your name, issue cards or increase the limits on your existing ones. This is a good protective measure from the risks of identity theft.

LifeLock will also order, and have sent to you, your current credit reports from all of the big bureaus.

Any time anyone tries to do anything that affects my credit I get a phone call asking me to verify the transaction. Believe me, that gives you peace of mind. Between my wife and I, we would sometimes spend hours shredding personal documents. With LifeLock, those days are over.

If you still haven’t taken the steps necessary to secure your identity do yourself a favor and try LifeLock. You won’t be disappointed. If you’re like me protecting your credit is definitely worth the 30 cents/day LifeLock charges..
