When Navy Veteran, Earl Laurie found out that the VA had lost his private information and that someone had tried to open two credit cards in his name, he was more than concerned. Fortunately, Mr. Laurie had already heard about LifeLock and had purchased one of their many identity protection packages.
To his great satisfaction, Laurie reported, “LifeLock saved me at least $30,000 and years of frustration, along with my good credit.” Seniors like Laurie hope to head into retirement with ease and few hiccups. That’s why signing up with LifeLock for seniors can be a smart investment that can offer you peace of mind.
If you are retired, you probably don’t want to be bothered with checking up on your credit card accounts or worrying about whether the PayPal account you just gave your bank account number to was a phishing (fake account) page. This security protection company will monitor your accounts and notify you if there are any odd changes to your account information or reasons to alert you to anything that might be of serious concern. LifeLock will catch any wrongdoers before they can do serious damage and maintain your personal information.
Here’s an overview of how LifeLock works to protect your personal information.
Partnering with Norton Antivirus, LifeLock will shield your online presence from malicious threats. When using public Wi-Fi LifeLock will block your information, making it nearly impossible for others to find it.
Through phone, text, email, and their mobile app, LifeLock will alert you of any suspicious activity on your bank, credit card, and additional personal accounts. This way, you can change your password or freeze your accounts before any damage is done.
In the event that someone should succeed in stealing your information, LifeLock’s Identity Restoration Agents will walk you through the process of resolving these issues. They’ll also reimburse any amounts of money that have been stolen, though the limit of such reimbursement will depend on the exact plan you choose.
While the premium LifeLock plan normally costs $24.99/mo, seniors can enroll at a discounted rate of $19.99 per month. This plan is not listed on their website; however, if you contact a representative, you should be able to prove your age and obtain your discount.
Beyond offering reliable and consistent services to safeguard their customers’ private information, LifeLock’s website also offers helpful tips and advice for seniors that can offer added protection for themselves and their loved ones. Here are a few tips that you can practice at home or abroad:
The company’s aim is to safeguard people of all ages and that is why they offer these helpful suggestions free of charge. Learning about how you can benefit from a security protection service is the first step towards empowering yourself to continue to be independent. LifeLock understands that while you are a sharpshooter, sometimes the occasional no-goodman could catch you off guard and try to compromise your well being.
