Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. Over 10 million people a year are victimized, with the combined effect of costing billions of dollars. But there are services to aid in the fight against identity theft. And for a small monthly fee, Lifelock is one example of that sort of protection.
Lifelock provides a long list of services to the consumer. It sets up a fraud alert with your creditors to let you know when unauthorized activities may be taking place. They also greatly reduce your junk mail by removing you from all pre-approved credit card lists. Obtaining these pre-approved credit applications are just one way thieves can hijack your good credit. They also provide you with free credit reports - one more way you can stay on top of your credit history.
Losing a wallet can be not only traumatizing but a major hassle as far as contacting your bank and credit card companies. Lifelock will help guide you through that process with their WalletLock service. They can also help you replace your checkbook, drivers license, social security card, and even traveler’s checks at no extra charge. Lifelock’s identity monitoring package makes sure you know when a criminal website is selling your personal information.
Their eRecon alerts you immediately if any activity of that kind is found. Their TrueAddress Program notifies you if they detect any new address information so you can be sure the only addresses associated with your credit are the ones you approve.
Finally, Lifelock promises to do everything they can to restore your good credit in the event your credit is breached. They’ll spend up to one million dollars if that’s what it takes to restore your good name. For such a small payment a month it makes sense to have a service like Lifelock behind you in this world of identity thieves. It’s insurance AND assurance for your healthy credit.
LifeLock is the only Identity Theft Prevention Solution backed by a one-million dollar guarantee!

Yes it is scary that identity theft is the leading crime, and growing by leaps and bounds. I have read articles that state that over 28 million people have fallen victim of identity theft.
As far a LifeLock, I have heard great reviews on them praising their services. For $10 a month or $110 a year you can protect your identity and be insured for up to 1 million dollars.
