How do I put a "freeze" on my credit? How do I opt out of junk mail? And other things I can do. Thanks This is great info, but can you tell me where to find all the things that I can do to protect my credit? How do I put a “freeze” on my credit? How do I opt out of junk mail? And other things I can do.

Thanks

How did a two-bit thief cashing a check for $500 get the CEO's wife's cellphone number? Sure CEO's name and SSN are on the website, but the wife's cellphone number? come on. and the fact Lifelock caught the guy rather than reporting to authorities. Just seems too much like a marketing scheme from a guy who has reportedly done some shady things in the past. oh yeah, i wonder who is doing their marketing...could we assume Mr. Maynard and his new marketing firm? I agree, the idea of Lifelock sounds good, but there are too many goofy things about this company that simply does not make me comfortable. i forgot to add, this incident sounds like a sham to me to gain more publicity.

How Lifelock handled the person who tried to get credit under the CEOs SSN, just smells of casino bosses taking a person into the back room. Instead of reporting it to the authorities, Lifelock apparently tried to take matters into their own hands and now the person will walk free at least from criminal prosecution. Lifelock reported the person having made a "settlement" with Lifelock. Just sounds too back room and "The Firm" to me. from what it sounds like Robert Maynard Jr. “resigned” from the company, he owns 10% and will apparently be consulting and marketing for Lifelock under a new marketing company he is setting up.
