Victim of Identity Theft

Why pay Lifelock $10 a month (presumably for life)? Call the Credit Bureau directly and tell them to place a fraud alert on your account (they probably have an online method of doing it too). They have to provide this service for free by law.

Lifelock doesn't provide any meaningful service that's not freely available. If you want to reduce unsolicited credit offers you can do it via optoutprescreen.com or call 1-888-5OPTOUT and reduce junkmail via DMA Choice Home. You can do it all by yourself and save some money.
