take identity theft seriously
Locking your Identity takes time, attention to detail and deep knowledge of the ways thieves penetrate the lives of consumers, how banks issue credit as well as the laws, procedures and regulations which govern how your personal information is released, sold, shared and compromised.
Some of what we can do you can do for yourself. Or, you could leave it to the experts here at LifeLock and get on with your life knowing that you’ve got the world’s only solution that will actually prevent your Identity from being used and a company that stands behind you to the tune of $1,000,000 should anything ever happen.
Nearly 10 million Americans fell prey to identity theft last year, costing businesses and individuals billions of dollars. Here are a couple of tips to help you:
1. Understand debit card dangers: Greater liability than credit cards. When it comes to fraud, debit cards carry much greater personal liability than credit cards, depending on how quickly you report the loss of the card. If you fail to report unauthorized use within 60 days of receiving your bank statements, you could lose all the money in the account and be held responsible for the amount of money that has been tapped from your line of credit.
2. Rethink check writing: That little slip of paper has way too much information. Some experts advise against check writing because it gives away your address, bank account number, signature and license number to complete strangers. On top of that, there’s no federal legislation to limit your liability for forged checks (each state has its own set of rules). Experts advise that you look into automating your bill paying.
