Anyone of you who have not yet heard about LifeLock? Well, the following paragraph is for you.

LifeLock, founded in 2005, is a personal fraud protection company. For a fee, the company once every 90 days asks for a fraud alert on your file by calling Experian, Equifax or TransUnion (the three major credit bureaus) who communicate this information to each other. LifeLock is founded to protect its customers from identity thieves. So, who are these identity thieves and what do they do?

Identity theft is a term used to refer to fraud that involves pretending to be someone else in order to steal money or get other benefits. The term is relatively new and is actually a misnomer, since it is not inherently possible to steal an identity, only to use it. The person whose identity is used can suffer various consequences when he is held responsible for the perpetrator's actions. In many countries specific laws make it a crime to use another person's identity for personal gain.

Now what exactly does LifeLock do? Simple – protect us from identity thieves. LifeLock offers a variety of benefits if you opted to avail of their service. These benefits include:
