LOL Ok, I'm only going to defend myself once on this post, the information is here for everyone and the plan is for those who want it, that needs to be clear.
But I have to say BS bluetoy
There is no vaccine for ID Theft indeed, but to say it doesn't do anything to help protect yourself is silly. Early detection is the best defence at the moment. The legislature now permits us to access our credit report for free once per year (6-8 weeks) to review and see if there is anything abnormal... this plan provides it to you quarterly, and with expidited delivery included.
Credit Card fraud represents roughly 1/4 of Identity Theft.
And you're right, you can definitely look after restoring your Identity on your own but the costs are staggering, the hassle is overwhelming and nevermind the hundreds of hours required and literally 30lbs of paperwork... feel free to check with the FTC for stats. I saw the workbook you receive if you choose to do it on your own... good luck! I would rather a professional do it for me... but that's just me. I could likely give myself a root canal too, but I'll leave that to a dentist thanks :P
Sorry but 27.3 Million victims and $5 billion in individual out of pockets expenses by 2003 IS scary... considering that's only the ones they know about. If it's not for you that's perfectly fine ;)
I approached puppet prior to posting this and received his consent.

ps neat stat... ever wondered how big a billion really is... examine it in seconds - 1,000,000 seconds equates to roughly 11 days and 1,000,000,000 seconds equates to roughly 32 years - WOW!
