Identity Safeguards Offers Identity Theft Recovery Services to LifeLock Customers

BEAVERTON, Ore., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Identity Safeguards(TM), the leader in identity theft prevention and recovery services, announced today it has terminated its contract with LifeLock to provide identity theft recovery services to LifeLock customers. Additionally, Identity Safeguards is offering LifeLock customers a 36-38% discount when purchasing a subscription to its pre-eminent services for preventing, detecting, and correcting identity theft. LifeLock customers can take advantage of this offer by visiting http://www.identitysafeguards.com/lifelock.

"Identity Safeguards prides itself on the extraordinary care and effectiveness that we show in serving the needs of identity theft victims," said Rick Kam, president of Identity Safeguards. "While we have appreciated the opportunity to serve consumers who have purchased the LifeLock offering, we feel given their recent very public issues, that it is more appropriate to offer our services directly to their customer base."

The Identity Safeguards solution for consumers includes a comprehensive set of capabilities that work together to protect individuals from identity theft, to assist in the detection of identity theft, and when necessary, to assist identity theft victims in the complete and successful recovery of their identities. These four components include education for consumers on best practices for avoiding identity theft through a member's website and monthly newsletter, insurance for costs associated with an identity theft, credit monitoring to foster immediate detection of an impending identity theft, and the most complete and personal recovery services for victims of identity theft.

"We cover over 2 million individuals and have never failed to successfully and completely restore the identity of an individual who is a victim of identity theft," said Doug Pollack, chief marketing officer at Identity Safeguards. "Identity recovery is what we do better than anyone else in the industry and we encourage LifeLock customers to take advantage of our discounted offer in order to maintain continuity of coverage for our identity recovery service."

The 36% discount applies to the purchase to both the Individual or Family editions of the Identity Safeguards service. These packages start at $7.99 per month for individuals and $13.99 for families (after the 36% discount). This offer will be available starting July 11, 2007 for any Lifelock customer of record as of that date and extends through September, 30, 2007.

Identity Safeguards is distinctive in how it provides identity theft recovery services compared with other offerings. Once the identity theft has been confirmed, it pairs the victim with a "Recovery Advocate" who is both highly compassionate and very experienced in the art of identity restoration. This individual will take all necessary steps on behalf of the victim to recover their identity, keeping them abreast of the process every step of the way. Contrast this highly personal approach with other offerings that just provide recommendations and guidelines for self-help.
