$12 million consumer settlement with LifeLock over \”ID Theft Protection\” claims

HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania, along with 34 other states, has reached a $12 million settlement with LifeLock Inc, an Arizona-based company accused of making confusing or misleading statements in the advertisement and promotion of its identity theft protection services.

\”Identity theft is a major subject of concern and consumers deserve clear and accurate information before they spend their hard-earned money on so-called protection services,\” Attorney General Tom Corbett said. \”There is no place for exaggerated claims, ambiguous statements or unsubstantiated claims when discussing this extremely serious consumer issue.\”
