Lifelock’s Identity Theft Protection Program
By Credit Watcher | August 13, 2008
Criminals don’t really care what happens to you. They victimize you, and then they lather, rinse and repeat with a bunch of other good people who also left themselves vulnerable to such attacks. Hackers don’t consider what consequences arise from this, they only care about getting a quick buck. They cause severe trauma to people and cause them undue hardship as they try to get their lives back to the way it was. Identity thieves destroy the reputations of innocent people. These good people will often have great difficulty clearing their reputation because of what these thieves have done to them.
Identity theft has hit epidemic proportions here in America so a lot of new companies arose in response to this threat and to protect innocent people. Its’ great that there are reputable and credible companies that utilize fraud alerts as their main source of identity theft prevention as they prevent identity theft before it happens. Credit monitoring only lets you know, after the fact, that you are a victim
LifeLock, a company known for their television and radio commercials, is one of the leading companies in the identity protection market. This company has its’ headquarters in Tempe, Arizona. The key to their success has been their well known marketing campaign led by Chief Executive Todd Davis who proudly displays his SSN on T.V. and elsewhere.
LifeLock is also ISO certified meaning they have a secure facility that protects you from an internal theft. This is an extra measure that most identity protection companies don’t take. Lifelock has created a secure area wherein they have installed surveillance cameras and alarm systems. Employees leave all personal belongings outside this area, they are not allowed to bring anything in or more importantly, out. Another good thing about LifeLock is that the information about their clients is not stored in any of the computers outside of this security area.
Lifelock protects you by placing fraud alerts with the credit bureaus on your behalf. This requires potential creditors to verify they are dealing with you before approving credit. They also have a service that scans databases for your private records to inform you if your information has been compromised. Another program informs you of any changes to your home address which is often used by identity thieves to divert your mail.
