Making
Your Ideas Work For You
When folks pay a whole lot of money for security, most often all they
are buying is -
The Perception of Security
When you see or hear that guy from
LifeLock. You know the one - "My social security number is 457-55-5462.
My name is Todd Davis. Yada
Yada" Did you
ever wonder if it was for real, if it really works, if they were merely
selling something that you can get for free anyway, it's just another
scam? I went to their web site and read all the testimonials, then I
looked a bit further down the page in the results from a simple Google
search, and ayup... sorry to say, our suspicions once again were
correct.

So what do you need to do? Get a hold
of one of those credit reporting
services
TransUnion,
Equifax,
Experian and ask them to put
a security freeze on your account. The trick is, that your request for
a credit freeze has to be renewed every 90 days. This is what the
credit reporting services themselves will try their very best to sell
you, an automatic renewal of what you already can get for free, by law.
This is
not such a horrible thing, is it? They may charge you two dollars more
a
month than even LifeLock does for the same thing. Again, too
much money for what
you can already get for free. If only you can remember to renew it
every 90
days. One more nuisance or pay the man $120 to $140 a year.
