You’ve probably seen these LifeLock ads: “Hi. I’m Todd Davis, and this is my real Social Security number.” If you’ve thought about enrolling in their identity theft program, but heard people complain about paying someone else to do what you can do for free, ask yourself these questions:
- Do you change the oil in your car yourself?
- Do you think you are or may become an ID theft victim? If so, have your set your own fraud alerts? If so, do you renew them every 90 days as needed?
- Do you order and review your credit report annually?
- What about blocking those pre-approved credit card offers? You’re not still getting those in the mail, are you?
- Have you prepared a list of your financial accounts, driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, Social Security card, insurance cards and membership ID cards? Did you include the contact numbers so you can quickly cancel and/or replace them if your wallet is ever lost or stolen? Is the list secured so nobody can access it without your permission?
- Do you know how to constantly monitor the United States Postal Service’s mondo, ever-changing database of address change submissions? Did you know address changes are one of the most common tactics for stealing identities and preventing detection?
- Have you been monitoring the thousands of online chat rooms and forums identity thieves use to buy, sell and trade stolen personal and financial information?
- Did you know LifeLock does all these things for you for as little as $9 a month?

No kidding! All that crap about “I can do it free” well cool! If you’d do it free for me I’d let ya! But since neither of us is doing my stuff free, I’ll pay lifelock and thank you very much!
I’ve taken both of your quizzes and failed miserably. Obviously your blog is here to get me to buy LifeLock, but what you did was make me realize that I really do need it.
