About Us | PreventIdentityTheft.net

I've never had anything stolen from me. Not once. I'd like to think I could handle parting with a few material items, but having my identity taken from me flat out freaks me out. The overwhelming sense of violation and powerful emotion one must feel after discovering he/she is a victim of identity theft is unimaginable to me. The first time I saw the Citibank identity theft commercials, I laughed loudly. After the commercial ended, my laughter turned into serious thought. How horrible it must be to have your identity (essentially, your entire life) taken away from you, only to have to clean up the mess yourself afterwards. The optimist in me would like to think that my current safeguards of shredding credit card offers will suffice. The realist in me knows that true safeguarding starts with knowledge.

Learning about and researching identity theft is now my personal goal. I'm not an expert and not a victim. I'm just an average person who wants to know everything about identity theft and how to safeguard against becoming a victim. This website shares the facts and information I've gathered.

A new service I recommend you check out is LifeLock. They are an industry leader in the rapidly growing field of identity theft protection and growing at a fast rate. They offer a proven solution for protecting your identity before its stolen. You can buy peace of mind for only 10 dollers a month and is backed by 1,000,000 dollers in protection. Whats really funny is the CEO of the company posts his very own Social Security Number on the website (457-55-5462). Thats pretty bold in my opinion but it sure proves a point.
