That’s what I figured, but from the little I’ve seen of LifeLock’s advertising, it does leave you with the impression that they can prevent identity theft from happening altogether, not just blunt the damages such theft might cause.

Ironically enough, my Mom’s credit card info was stolen recently by a hacker, and yet she rarely orders anything online. I order and pay bills online practically every other day and so far I haven’t been hit in over a decade.

Sometimes the best protection out there is the one God offers.

P.S. The suspicious thing about this is that banks and the government really COULD secure our data if they wanted to. But they won’t.

And why are they allowing our SS # to be used as ID? That great god of old, FDR, promised the “American people” that it wouldn’t be used as a means of identification.

I have had my bank account information stolen THREE stinkin’ times, none of it because I was slacking. Companies should be hammered on for this.

At any rate, if I remember correctly, I believe the Lifelock product did as it was advertised. Lifelock doesn’t guarantee that your identity will not be stolen. That’s like a house insurance policy guaranteeing that it won’t be flooded or on fire. What Lifelock does, if I am correct about this, is guarantee your finances and etc up to $1 million. They also monitor your credit reports so you know when your identity has been stolen. And they work out the stolen information details with banks and companies. It’s a heck of a lot of work getting your information changed (bank accounts, routing numbers, ordering new cards, new checks, screening reports, etc).

I think it’s great that Todd Davis is getting all this “bad” publicity, because it exposes how corrupt and defunct the banking system is. I’d like to see more and more people enraged. Like I am.
