LifeLock
Maybe you’ve see their commercials--the ones where their CEO give out his Social Security number…? That’s LifeLock, the only identity theft protection service that offers WalletLock, TrueAddress and eRecon. But even if you know their commercials, you want to know more about their services before making a decision to enroll in any identity theft protection program.
You’re probably familiar with fraud alertsthe statement placed in your credit report that requires creditors to contact you before extending credit. LifeLock will work with the credit reporting companies to add fraud alerts to your credit report, and they’ll request renewals on your fraud alerts every 90 days. They’ll also submit requests for copies of your credit report. And they’ll request that your name and information be left off phone solicitors’ lists, and that you no longer receive pre-approved credit offers and other junk mail.
These are the most commonly suggested measures to protect you from identity thieves, and they’re the ones offered by most identity theft services. But LifeLock doesn’t stop there.
Since December 2007, LifeLock has developed three new services, and made them available at no additional charge to their new and existing customers. With the addition of WalletLock, TrueAddress and eRecon to LifeLock’s portfolio of identity protection services, LifeLock continues to be the industry leader that takes your protection seriously.
How LifeLock’s exclusive new services protect you from identity thieves
- Wallet Lock -- Whether you’re close to home, or traveling out of country, WalletLock helps customers whose wallet is lost or stolen. With a single call, a WalletLock specialist will help to cancel and replace lost bank and credit cards. A WalletLock specialist can also obtain and help you complete the necessary paperwork to replace your driver’s license, Social Security card, checkbook, traveler’s checks, insurance cards-even your passport and visas-without an additional charge.
- TrueAddress -- Identity thieves have two reasons for changing their victim’s address: they want to re-direct mail so they can obtain personal and financial information vital to their crimes, or they’re trying to delay discovery of their crimes by keeping statements for new accounts from reaching their victim’s mailbox. TrueAddress monitors the millions of address changes submitted to the US Postal Service. If a change of address has been submitted for a LifeLock customer, they’ll find out about it in a hurry to minimize the damage done.
- eRecon -- Tens of millions of identities can be stolen in a single breach of data security. That informationSocial Security numbers, account numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, etc.is then bought, sold or traded over the internet. LifeLock developed eRecon to constantly scan the internet looking for any personal or financial information belonging to their customers. If a client’s information is detected the client can be notified immediately, and the internet transaction information can be passed on to law enforcement to help with the criminal investigation.
Now that you know a little more about LifeLock and their exclusive services, ask yourself: Do you want to enroll with a company that offers only the standard services, or do want to enroll with LifeLock, the company that’s always working on new ways to protect their customers from identity theft?
