if you are going to pay for identity protection you are wasting your money unless you have a pro ready to work for you in your time of need.
The TV commercial says they’ll pay you up to $1 million for any losses. But the company doesn’t really do that. So the TV commercial is fraud.
How dumb do you have to be to sign up with them? I mean, that Todd Davis guy is giving out HIS OWN Social Security number on the radio! How careful do you think he’s gonna be with yours?
LL has been great for me. Before closing on a refi last month, LL called and made sure it was me. That’s all I need to know.
I think that identify theft is over-hyped. Sure, it happens, but it is not the epidemic that the media and these companies claim.
This is interesting..... I keep thinking that I’ll sign up because Rush promotes it on his website, but now I’m not so sure.....
“Maybe this is all about failure to read the fine print but then again it all depends on what the company really claims it can do.”
Yup, we’ll have to wait and see. In the end, however, it will be the lawyers who win $$$$$
Rush is deeply saddened.
New Jersey’s one of the states where you can simply freeze your credit for free. It’s a $5 fee to thaw your credit if you need to.
A lot cheaper than $10/mo.
I believe you can set up your credit profiles to require all inquiries to contact you at an authorized number.
A few weeks ago, I went to their web page to try to see what they did. It wasn’t worth $10 a month, but for those who don’t know how to have the credit bureaus put the restrictions on their accounts, it would be helpful.
#1. If it is a non-local advertisement on a radio show, it very likely is a fraud or at least there are some major problems with it.
How hard is it to be up front with the offer and hope enough brain-dead people subscribe anyway?
This publicity must not be a good thing for them. I hope that they're also not a publicly traded company, either.
Can you have a class action suit if no damages actually occured yet? Or is this a case of the company promising something, taking the money, and then not doing anything at all?

Ohhhhh, no. I have Lifelock.
This is the usual corrupt shakedown extortion hit, oops I meant class action lawsuit, against an innocent company.
Lifelock provides a fine, needed service.
The scam artists here are the greedy, crooked shysters behind the scenes, who stand to make millions in their final extortion setllement. You and I get phony worthless coupons from the “fix is in” judge.
It is ironic that the SS system has not only saddled us with a fraudulent Ponzi Scheme, but has also provided us with a SS number that was never supposed to be used for ID purposes, but now serves as a universal ID number, and left us vulnerable to ID theft.
