Q: Regarding your identity theft protection reviews and detection services, which is recommended if you have had your identity stolen and issued credit card fraud
a: first, if you or someone you know has been affected by identity theft, I am very sorry . I know this can be a very frustrating and debilitating crime to treat.
Most services we reviewed are preventive in nature, meaning they help protect your identity and make it harder for you to be victimized. Since you've already been to identity theft, my strong suggestion is that you sign up for a free 30 day trial of LifeLock. They are our top rated identity theft protection service provider and 24/7 support resources available to help their clients cope with identity theft crimes.
Once you've signed just call 1-800-LifeLock and select option 2. This sign with a member of LifeLock support staff who can discuss recovery options with you. They are of identity theft recovery experts and will use their network of resources on your behalf.
Keep in mind that you will not be covered by warranty million LifeLock because your identity theft took place before becoming a customer of theirs. As such, there may be additional costs for you beyond their standard monthly fee.
Since LifeLock has a free 30-day trial, you can evaluate their service and better understand what additional costs may be involved, no financial commitment.
I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your identity theft recovery efforts.
