Anyone use it, heard of it, think it's worth the money?

I just ran across it online, and for 10/mo didn't think it'd be a bad thing...

Opinions?

For those with no idea what I'm talking about... lifelock.com

Does LifeLock Charge Extra To Coerce Suspected Identity Thieves?
from the smooth-move dept
LifeLock, a company that sells some identity theft protection services that consumers could get for free, got some bad press last month. Not only did it come out that one of the company's founders had allegedly stolen personal information from customers of another business he owned, it was also disclosed that LifeLock's services failed to protect the company's CEO from identity theft. A man in the Dallas area used the CEO's social security number -- which is prominently displayed in LifeLock's marketing materials -- to obtain a $500 loan, and police were waiting to get some subpoenaed information when the CEO took things into his own hands. He showed up at the fraudster's house with a film crew, and apparently coerced a confession out of the guy, who police say is mentally disabled. The confession is legally worthless, and police and prosecutors say it's tainted the case, so they're not going to proceed with their investigation, and have no plans to arrest the suspect. So, it would appear, that not only do LifeLock's anti-identity theft measures not work, the company also manages to bungle the prosecution of identity thieves.


:rolf I guess you can only steal this guy's identity if you're mentally disabled... :rolf

hehe I think the people who did it, made it look like it was stolen by a mentally disabled person, to add insult to injury.

I read that whole other article, can't say he's not motivated I guess.
