LifeLock Keeps Me Safe
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008The other day I finally got together with a business associate for happy hour. She told me about how one of the gals in her office had her purse stolen. Now that’s always a royal pain because you lose all that important ’stuff’ in your purse including your favorite lipstick.
But losing her lipstick was the least of her worries because this one turned more serious. Someone took her credit cards and immediately starting using them. She told me that within hours there was over $3,000 of charges on her card. But it got worse. The thief also opened cell phone accounts in her name with her credit.
Calling cell phone companies is always tedious but have you ever tried to convince a phone company that the account is a fraud? It’s not easy. In fact, it’s a total nightmare. They sometimes refuse to believe you even when you’ve sent them the police report of the theft and a letter from your credit card company saying your account had been defrauded.
At that point, I told her about LifeLock WalletLock plan that I have with my Life Lock membership. If my wallet is lost or stolen, they will help me cancel and replace all my stuff like credit cards, driver’s license, insurance card, etc. Then they’ll also take care of restoring my identity and fixing fraudulent accounts. I’ve been lucky so far and haven’t had to use it.
The leader in identity protection now is LifeLock . I think the CEO’s tactic of publishing his social security number has really gotten them some attention. There’s no one else quite so willing to go out on a limb to prove how well their company works.
I told my friend about how she can get a LifeLock promo code and get 30 days for free plus a permanent discount after that. She must have been listening because she thanked me for the ‘hot tip’!
