You’ve all seen the commercials on TV where the president of the lifelock company has his real social security number plastered all over the side of a semi truck riding around town, right? Supposedly this company claims their service is so good that they’re willing to risk a $1 million guarantee that no one will steal your identity.
What you may or may not have gotten from the commercial is that Life Lock will not only protect your identity, but it will also significantly reduce the amount of junk mail you get in your mailbox, reduce the number of credit card offers you get in the mail, and they will pro-actively try to protect you from identity theft.
The coolest part is, and I didn’t even know this, it’s only $10 a month. In this day and age, someone with the right amount of social engineering skills could sneak private information like your Social Security Number, address, date of birth, etc. and then pretend to be you until they had enough information to steal your identity and ruin your credit or even get you in trouble with the law.
