We all know about identity theft by this point, so no long definitions here. What we still seem to have difficulty with is stopping it from happening to us. Now there is a simple and solid way to not just protect your information but to find out when someone might be using it and to recover for your losses.
LifeLock is the premiere identity theft protection and recovery service. Their $1 Million Total Service Guarantee is solid protection. if your identity is stolen they will do what it takes to identify the culprit(s), stop them from using your identity, and recover your losses.
How hack-friendly is your password?
Of course you are taking precautions and good ones too, just like you should. You shred your mail before throwing it away and you cover your pin at the grocery store. But identity thieves have lots of ways to get your information. How secure is your mailbox? Have you ever found it open when you sure you closed it? Are you sure nothing was taken? You can’t shred documents that you never see.
Don’t forget that simple thievery is a good tool for identity thieves as well. They just snatch a purse or a wallet or even a cell phone and they have a lot of your private information. If that happened the first thing you’d do is report the theft to the police and the next is to report it to the credit card companies. But was your social security number in there? Maybe that was just what the thief wanted. He can sell it to someone looking to get a job and maybe even an apartment in your name. The government does not monitor too closely where you live and work. This person now has utility bills in your name and is filing income tax for you. How do you think that will look to the IRS, if they spot it?
And finally what if that person, living as you in another city, gets arrested and charged with some crime. All they have to do is abandon the apartment and skip town. Now you have outstanding utility bills, rent, and maybe even an arrest warrant in your name that you don’t even know about.
That’s all very scary, but a real possibility.
LifeLock makes worries like that go away. 
LifeLock Ultimate protection monitors your personal information. They check multiple databases to see if your information is available to anyone it shouldn’t be. LifeLock Ultimate provides, public record surveillance, payday loan monitoring, and daily monitoring of all 3 credit bureau reports to see if someone other than you is using any of your information.
