It’s important to have that secure feeling that comes with knowing someone is in your corner looking out for you. With the topic of identity theft the Lifelock stands out. You’ll find them in your corner working on your behalf to help protect brand you. They back up their ability to protect you with the guarantee to spend up to $1,000,000 to recover your good name should anything happen.

The service is a mere drop in the bucket at $10 a month, less than half the cost of a can of soda. The CEO of Lifelock is so confident of the companies ability to protect that he even has his Social Security Number listed on the page. How exactly do they go about setting this in motion? What are the steps they take to handle the monotonous processes of protecting what is rightfully ours to begin with?

• First, we ask the credit bureaus to set fraud alerts on your behalf.
• Second, unless your circumstances change and you tell us not to, every 90 days or so we ask the credit bureaus to do it again.
• Third, we request that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists and we keep making the requests as they expire.
• Fourth, we order your free credit reports on your behalf from the major credit bureaus and they are sent directly to you.
• Fifth, hassling with lost or stolen wallets is no longer a problem with WalletLock™.
