It’s high time you called LifeLock

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Why should I purchase identity theft protection? It’s a question many people ask themselves – and more and more are deeming this type of protection something they don’t want to do without.

Identity theft is one of the world’s fastest-growing crimes, with a new person falling victim every 13 seconds. With the expansion of technology, particularly social networking, everyone’s identity is compromised more and more each day. Hacked Twitter, Facebook and MySpace account information is sold on the black market every day for hundreds of dollars each.

Another commonly-used method is skimming. Identity thieves use machines disguised as part of ATMs or credit card machines to obtain your credit card information, which can then be used to create fraudulent cards. Other ID thieves dumpster dive or rummage through trash to get the information they need. Some go through your mail, looking for bank or credit card statements, bill payments or pre-approved credit offers.

Most people realize their identity has been stolen when they are trying to apply for new credit cards or loans. But wouldn’t it be nice to know before then? Wouldn’t it be nice to know that your information was being used to apply for credit, employment or a cell phone. LifeLock can do this for you.

LifeLock makes identity theft protection simple and affordable. For as little as $10 per month, you can be sure your information is safe and secure. LifeLock also offers a promotional code that will allow you to sign up for only $9 a month – that’s under $100 a year.

LifeLock is different from other identity theft protection companies in that it offers proactive serves – LifeLock searches for all credit and non-credit related threats to your identity and notifies you the minute any such threat is found. In other words, you’ll be able to nip identity theft in the bud. No other service offers this.

Stupid criminal stories: Charged with ID theft and tax crimes, St. Paul man says he was “practicing”

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

If you read a lot of identity theft stories, they might all start to sound the same. But every once in a while you run across one with a refreshingly different twist. It’s the “stupid criminal” element that sets this one apart.

Johnny Opara, of St. Paul, Minn., has been charged with seven felony tax crimes and one case of identity theft, according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

Some of Opara’s victims say they hired him to prepare their taxes, but he never filed them. In other cases, Opara, 55, allegedly filed taxes for people who hadn’t hired him and knew nothing about his activities. (more…)
