LifeLock
Do not put your social security number on the internet unless you want your identity stolen. I would never recommend putting your SSN on the Internet, but that is what Todd Davis the CEO of LifeLock has done to prove the effectiveness of LifeLock.
LifeLock is not a credit monitoring service, besides, credit monitoring only lets you know when your ID has been stolen—by then it’s too late.
LifeLock does not freeze your credit either, rather is safeguards credit from being used by someone other than you.
What Does LifeLock Do?
They ask the credit bureaus to set fraud alerts on your accounts.
Every 90 days they ask the credit bureaus to set fraud alerts again.
LifeLock request that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists and they keep making the requests as they expire.
Order your free credit reports on your behalf from the major credit bureaus and they are sent directly to you.
If ever your wallet is lost or stolen, LifeLock will help you with contacting all your banks, credit card companies so your accounts are protected.
And if your indent is ever stolen while using lifelock will spend up to $1,000,000 to get your identity back and they will give you back any money that you have lost.
That is a very bold guarantee. LifeLock is a service worth looking into. Learn more at www.lifelock.com.

I strongly recommend using the Paypal Plugin as well. It generates single use credit card #’s that you can use freely anywhere you’d like because the number is only valid for one use. Plus Paypal knows what site you are authorizing it for so it won’t let anyone else charge you.
