Interesting Bedfellows, on the front end, look deeper April 20, 2009

As the link above shows that a company that is associated with the FBI is helping to promote LifeLock in the Maryland area.

Any time you see something like this I would ask you to look deeper than just the words FBI, as this person is not with the FBI it is another company “FBI-LEEDA” they are former law enforcement persons, as well as possibly current members of law enforcement, but they are NOT the Federal Burea of Investigations.

This is a fairly misleading press release, funny that it doesnt mention the fact that the Company that is putting this information forward is under investigation for a class action law suit from a number of different states.

BUT until it is proven that they are NOT providing the services that they exclaim them to be doing, then they are free to “educate” anyone, all while making a profit while NOT keeping persons safe from identity theft, or anything else.

If you are looking to safeguard yourself or your business, you would be better off going to www.ftc.gov for more information in the US.

I hope that you forward this to any and all persons you know in Maryland to make sure they dont end up paying for a service that will not help them.

It is not hard to figure out why Maryland has had so many reports of identity theft, anyone that is in that area is aware of the Hannaford breach of information.

please make sure that this gets out to all who need to know it.
