One can hardly read a newspaper, magazine or watch television today without being confronted by those words. They are everywhere. North Carolina's Governor Michael Easley proclaimed September, 2006 as "Identity Theft Prevention Month", calling ID Theft the "white collar crime of the 21st century." According to Identity Theft Resource Center figures, more than 126 million personal information records were breached in 2007, a six-fold increase over 2006. There is hope however. Kroll Background America, a division of Kroll Worldwide, the world's largest and most respected security company, with offices on six continents, has put together a prevention, protection, and restoration plan for individuals and families. They had no retail marketing arm however and, since they knew that in over 80% of identity theft cases an attorney is needed at some point, they approached Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. to market their Identity Shield program as an add-on to Pre-Plaids' Life Events Legal Plan. Now for just $9.95/mo. as an add-on to the Legal Plan ($12.95 stand alone), one can have a 32 year old company, founded by, and staffed by retired and former FBI and CIA agents keeping watch over their identity, monitoring it daily, reporting to them monthly (or more frequently) as to the status of their information, and ready to jump right in, should their information be breached, and immediately begin complete restoration procedures.
