The Startling Truth About Identity Theft Prevention – Life Without Life Lock

Even with the protection that the Life Lock program provides, I feel it is important for the public to become proactive when it comes to identity theft prevention. Having been a victim of identity theft myself, I feel the urge to bring awareness to the topic.

I found some startling facts released by the Federal Trade Commission. The study stated that “Identity-Theft is the fastest growing crime in America; 9.9 MILLION victims were reported in 2006.” This is an absolutely devastating number. And the worst part about it is that a vast majority of the victims where unaware their identity was stolen.

The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to be proactive! You can review your credit reports on a monthly basis or set it on autopilot with services like Life Lock.
