Identity theft and fraud.

**CrossLOPER** · 10-08-2011, 19:21

I am getting to the point where I am getting increasingly paranoid about my credit info. As such, I am cracking down on some of the poorer practices I have been engaging in over the years. I have a question about certain services in the United States that can assist me in this. I heard Lifelock is insanely useful and is much cheaper than than Identity Guard. Both appear to be legit.

Thoughts?

That list did not make much sense. Only rich white people bother to seek out a browser of preference?

Sorry to derail any further (I won't make another post in this thread, apologizing from the OP) but since that post attracted some attention, below is the treasure itself. I'm not sure however, just to be safe, you are warned about the language:

I have used ID Guard for years now. I typically cancel my subscription intermittently, as I don't need the service except around the end of fiscal quarters. 14-16 dollars to be able to check your credit scores/history/public info is a good deal considering all the crap you used to have to go through just to get your score. They also have some cool services that help you calculate your new scores if you increase/decrease specific bills and debts etc.

If you are planning on using ID Guard, I may be able to refer you and get us both a discount.

Wow speaking of fraud. My friends credit card was used this morning in 27 successful transactions plus another 9 on top that failed!

Coincidental? Or is it too convenient that CrossLOPER started a thread on fraud?...

I kid, I kid!
