You actually believe that the pitiful amount of data available from Lifelock is going to ASSIST any government institution to investigate or track an individual?įor starters, and from the referenced article: “their son found a five-page Excel spreadsheet on his computer - of her bank accounts, credit cards and other financial activities…It also included his ex-wife’s passwords and answers to her security questions.” That’s hardly peanuts, I’d say, and over here enough to warrant a full investigation if any private company would be holding such data without your knowledge or consent. Lifelock offers nothing one can’t get by themselves from their own bank or online or just being diligent. Lifelock reported the fraudulent activity the same it reported all activity. Ironically the credit card that lifelock was being billed too was cancelled due to new fraudulent activity and the situation took care of itself. I tried twice only to be left on hold for 10+ minutes and then I just gave up. are sex offenders living near by? PANIC!).Ĭancelling Lifelock requires you to call their 800 number and wait on hold.
LIke a monthly credit score check (which was wrong every month), checks to see if your name is part of any breaches, and information on where you live (e.g. Lifelock “offers” other services as part of its deal. And there is no way to whitelist the transaction. Every month it would flag my mortgage as “potentially fraudulent”. Activity alerts I set on my accounts from my banks and credit card companies are near real time and I can quickly respond to the issue. So the damage has largely been done by the time lifelock gets around to it. In my case about 90% of the activity was reported as “potentially fraudulent.” This raises two issues. Ever so often it will check your accounts and report on activity. It operates very much like any financial tracking site. Dealing with identify fraud earlier in the year – I briefly tried lifelock.
