Life Lock – Guarantee Your Good Name

Identity theft protection, or identity theft insurance, is for those of you interested in having a peace of mind when it comes to your identity’s well being. LifeLock is one of the most advertised programs designed to protect you from identity theft.

LifeLock’s owner Todd Davis published his own social security number on the World Wide Web and plastered it on TV commercials to prove the power of the service.  I can’t tell you to do that with the protection coverage off, as the LifeLock CEO himself was hit by identity thieves.

“My Social Security number has been out there for two years,” the jovial exec told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Friday. “There’s been one instance where someone was successful in trying to turn my identity into money. There have been 87 other attempts to steal my identity, but the system works.”

Do the research yourself
Go to the LifeLock website to find out more information, including the details of the program and the extent of the protection offered in an event of identity theft.  Take the time to read the fine print, as you should with any service or product offering.

Identity theft insurance is something very viable to consider when trying to prevent identity theft and protect yourself from fraud.  If you don’t own any type of protection I recommend that you rely on common sense for identity theft protection.
