Nothing Beats Life Lock In Protecting Your Identity

When I got actively involved with "get-paid-sites" last year, one of the offers that I took advantage of was an offer for a free credit report for one month. After that, you can cancel or continue for a fee. I also started to shop online using my credit card. Since then, offers for pre-approved credit cards and junk mails started to pour in my mailbox daily. I was even wondering where they got my personal details from.

This is what Life Lock is trying to stop - personal identities being sold to other parties, junk mails and identity theft. For a very minimal fee, Life Lock protects consumers' identity and give them full control over it on how, when and who can use it. By doing so, Life Lock works with credit bureaus and asks them to send fraud alerts to members whenever questionable transactions are made using the members' identity. Of course, this would cost a lot of money for these credit bureaus, who are only trying to make money and most could care less about their customers. I can understand why Life Lock pissed them off because life lock has greatly affected how they run their business. Life Lock also requests that consumers' name be taken off the list of pre-approved credit cards and junk mails. It also provides members with free credit report. There are a lot more that life lock does mostly for the benefit of its members which boils down to protecting them from identity theft. So if you are concern about protecting your identity, Life Lock is the one you can fully trust. Check it out!
