LifeLock Identity Theft Protection {Review & Giveaway}

What are you doing to protect your identity?

In this day in age, so much of our lives are on the Internet. We use it to socialize, manage our bank accounts, pay bills, and more. It’s not a surprise that it’s becoming more and more common for people to have their identities stolen because of this. Thankfully, there are companies out there like LifeLock that can help safeguard your identity.

LifeLock is today’s leader in the world of identity theft protection and information. LifeLock works hard to provide relentless identity theft protection for its members. It’s more of just a credit monitoring service. LifeLock helps protect your personal information using a combination of data surveillance techniques and outstanding customer service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

LifeLock Offers 5 Points of Protection:

• Monitoring Your Identity
• Scanning for Identity Threats
• Responding to Identity Theft
• Guarantee for Services
• Tracking of Your Credit Score

Have you had your identity stolen? I’m thankful that I never have, nor has anyone close to me. I know it’s completely devastating and can take years to recover. It’s not something you want to happen, or something you expect to happen, but it does. That is why you have to be so careful about the information you provide online and in your daily life.

• Households earning $100k + per year have the highest identity fraud rate at 7.4%

My Experience

I just signed up for the basic one-year LifeLock Membership Plan. I am really excited and thankful that over the course of the next year my identity will be watched closely by LifeLock. Hopefully, there will be no threats against my identity, but if there are, LifeLock stands behind their $1 Million Service Guarantee:

“If you become a victim of identity theft while you are a LifeLock member we will spend up to $1 million to hire experts, lawyers, investigators, consultants and whoever else it takes to help your recovery…”

Do you feel protected against identity theft? I know it’s so easy to think, “It’s not going to happen to me,” and that’s just not realistic. The reality is it can happen to anyone at anytime and that’s why it’s so important to be proactive about protecting your identity.

If you’ve been thinking about getting identity theft protection, I encourage you to look into LifeLock. They offer several individual plans depending on the type of coverage you are looking for.
