I don't know anything about Lifelock and how it works - but if you call Experian and telling them they want a fraud alert on your account- I've had one on my account for over 10 years-it forces the credit giver to call you and specifically confirm your request. I would say over the past 10 years they have found 5 or 6 times when someone was trying to get credit using my name or my address etc...during that 10 year period I have refi, leased a car etc...never a problem. In fact, my own bank had to call me and specifically ask if I was applying for a refi - because I had a fraud alert on my account.

For me it works!
