According to Lifelock, their service provides a “basic layer of protection against identity theft” by attempting to detect when your personal information is being used to apply for new credit and alerting you when this happens. I have never used their service so I can’t endorse it, but they have given me 5 complimentary year-long memberships to give to new members (which would normally cost $110 each).

To give LifeLock a try using this promo, go to www.lifelock.com/enroll and enter Promo Code: NEWMEMBERCJ, Member ID: 477979. You will need to enter in all your personal information (including SSN), but it doesn’t appear that billing information is required. This offer is good until April 16, 2010 or all 5 memberships have been taken.
