Although the federal government has made it possible for each citizen to protect their identity by initiating free fraud alerts, placing their name and contact information on “do not call” or mail lists, and accessing free credit reports, many individuals do not realize that they must continuously request these “free” services. When taking into account the amount of time it takes to repeatedly request these “free” services and the risks involved in forgetting to put these protective measures in place, “free” can turn into thousands of dollars of financial ruin and thousands of hours spent trying to restore one’s good name and credit. When it comes down to it, if time equals money, then nothing is free when it comes to protecting your identity.

In addition to the extra income, boomers are being targeted by identity thieves because of their tendencies to avoid the internet, to rely on paper checks and paper mail, and to easily fall victim to pre-texting scams. Because of this, it is more important than ever for baby boomers, who, in the prime of their lives, are prime targets for identity theft, to use LifeLock’s Identity Theft Protection Services.
