Saving Advice: Never pay someone to protect your identity
Jennifer Derrick at Saving Advice has this article: Never pay someone to protect your identity.
A snippet:
The problem with any sort of “identity protection” is that nothing is fool proof.

If they don’t, they have no idea that you’ve put protective measures in place so they may go ahead and issue credit to an impostor.
But she’s got lots of tips on how to reduce your risk.

Thanks you for the mention. It’s always greatly appreciated. Use common sense and reduce the risk as much as possible on your own and you’ll be far safer than paying for someone else to do it.
