LaPorte Savings Bank Offers Lifelock™ Services to Community
LAPORTE (April 3, 2008) - LaPorte Savings Bank is excited to offer a distinct, well-known identity theft protection solution that will be invaluable to you and your family. As occurrences of identity theft continue to rise, it is important that consumers protect themselves against this type of crime. LaPorte Savings Bank is able to offer officially licensed LifeLock™ protection services at an annual rate of just $99 - a discount off of the regular annual rate of $110 per year!
LifeLock™ television advertisements have aired recently where company CEO, Todd Davis, publishes his own Social Security number to highlight the safety and security of the product. LifeLock™ is a next-generation identity theft protection solution that makes it virtually impossible for your identity to be stolen. Unlike traditional monitoring services that notify you after your identity is compromised, LifeLock™ maintains active fraud alerts with major credit reporting agencies and requires individuals to personally authorize credit-related transactions before they can be approved. LifeLock™ backs its service with a $1 million service guarantee to reimburse stolen funds and direct expenses as well as pay professional fees in the event your identity is stolen.
Enroll in LifeLock™ identity theft protection services online today by clicking the link provided on our home page. Be sure to enter promotional code “lpsbw” when prompted to receive the discount on this worthwhile service!
Roughly 10 million Americans have their personal information stolen and misused each year, costing consumers $5 billion and businesses $48 billion.
LifeLock™ was developed to prevent this crime from affecting your life and is backed by a $1 million dollar service guarantee. LifeLock™ will:
- Request the three major credit bureaus to set fraud alerts on your behalf.
- Proactively renew these alerts every 90 days as they expire.
- Request that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists and update these requests as they expire.
- Request free credit reports on your behalf.
- Do whatever it takes and work with you to restore your good name in the event that your identity is stolen while enrolled in the service.
