True story…
,
A few months ago, a friend of ours, fresh right out of college, asked Hubs to help him set up a bank account.
Several days later, he frantically called back saying he was told he had bad credit. For the life of him, he just couldn’t understand how…
He had never owned a credit card or run up any outstanding bills, so what could be the cause for a black-list on his score?
.
After a few hours of research, we learned that his identity had been stolen and the thief had run havoc with his name, somewhere in Las Vegas!!
.
This can happen to anyone!
.
.
Why LifeLock?
.
LifeLock is the leader in proactive identity theft protection. They work 24/7 on 365 days of the year (366 if a leap!), focusing on a sole cause…protecting your identity, your credit score and every crucial piece of information that can be misused if in the hands of the wrong people!
.
.
Our family has signed up for their comprehensive LifeLock Ultimate Service Membership Plan…
a definite recommendation if you want to cover bases on the youngest to the oldest members in your family.
/
(Don’t avoid including your children in your Protection Plan because identity thieves make it their business to target children. Why? Because they know parents focus on protecting themselves and not the little folk in the family!)
.
.
What does the LifeLock Ultimate Membership do?
.
It covers all the regular services a regular LifeLock membership includes…
.
.
and additional services that include…

.
What we love…
.
Knowing that we have someone watching our backs as we sleep is reassuring, especially in this day and age when identity theft is rampant.
Any potential identity theft threat is automatically picked up and intimated to the LifeLock member concerned via email, phone or text message, based on the communication preference listed on the account.
.
The other day I considered signing up for a Macy’s credit card at the store. As soon as my credit was run, I received a message from LifeLock asking if I’d authorized a run and if this could be cleared.
It reminded me of a parent genuinely watching out for their child, just in case something happens!
.
.
The investment…
.
If you sign up for a LifeLock membership I would definitely recommend going for the Ultimate Plan only because it is packed with much more! The additional 15$ shelled out each month is definitely worth your while and will be a decision you will not regret.

And for a limited time, you can actually save on that amount.
