LifeLock - Government Sanctioned Rackateering

LifeLock is not really a company that is always monitoring your identity. About all it can do is query the credit reporting companys for inquiories made against your social security number. I have a service through my bank (USAA) which will do the same thing for a lot less money then LifeLock.

I really think with the comericials they are really playing on individuals fears, which I hate more than any other sales tactic.

Consider for a moment the small print that appears on the bottom of the screen during their comercial. No commentary here, judge for yourself....

  • No one can prevent all identity theft
  • Checking and savings account takeover alerts require LifeLock Ultimate membership
  • Network does not cover all transactions and scope may vary
  • No one can prevent all identity theft
  • Guarantee applies only if you become an ID theft victim because of a failure in our identity theft service. Restrictions apply. See LifeLock.com for details. Due to New York State law restrictions this LifeLock service guarantee cannot be offered to residents of New York.
Organizations which play of individual's fears in order to make money is nothing short of rackateering. LifeLock.com is the MOB operating as a corporation.
