A new Web site, www.SafeIdentityProtection.com, helps consumers compare identity theft protection and recovery services currently available in the U.S. SafeIdentityProtection.com gives consumers a free side-by-side comparison of LifeLock™, TrustedID™, Guard Dog ID and Protect My ID™, comparing costs, features, benefits and guarantees offered by each of the four major identity theft protection companies.

Philip Richards, founder of SafeIdentityProtection.com, says, “Identity theft is a violation on many levels, both financial and emotional. If your credit rating is ruined by an identity thief, it could impact your ability to buy a home, get a job, and even get a good rate on insurance. To help consumers avoid this potentially catastrophic crime, we’ve researched the top four identity theft protection and recovery services currently available in the U.S., to give consumers an unbiased side-by-side comparison of Guard Dog ID, LifeLock™, Protect My ID™, and TrustedID™. We also offer a variety of helpful articles to help consumers protect themselves from identity theft—online and offline.”

In 2009 alone, consumers filed over 1.3 million identity theft complaints with agencies including the FTC, Internet Crime Complaint Center, Better Business Bureau, and the National Fraud Information Center. “And that’s just a fraction of the people who became identity theft victims,” says Richards. “Nearly ten million Americans became victims of identity theft in 2008, according to a Javelin Strategy and Research study. So consumers are understandably concerned about identity theft protection.”

With the United States going into a third year of recession, incidences of identity theft have continued to rise. “In 2008, identity theft cost the economy $48 billion. We believe the 2010 figure will be even higher,” says Richards. “More and more Americans are concerned about identity theft and looking for a way to compare the major identity theft protection and prevention services. SafeIdentityProtection.com makes it easy.”

“Even children are becoming major targets for identity theft rings,” says Richards. “Because children don’t typically use their social security numbers until they’re young adults, it’s possible for an identity thief to assume your child’s identity for years before anyone realizes his or her identity has been stolen,” said Richards.

SafeIdentityProtection.com helps consumers compare identity theft protection companies with a detailed, side-by-side chart that compares features such as price, credit card monitoring, fraud monitoring, customer support, lost wage recovery, bank account scanning and more.

“Since the average loss in an identity theft case is nearly $500, it makes sense to spend a few minutes at SafeIdentityProtection.com researching the right identity theft protection companies to see which one may be right for you and your family,” says Richards.
