719 - Job seekers, is your identity protected?

Can you imagine showing up for an interview only to be arrested?

Our identity can be used in ways that isn't monitored, so those monitoring services you have won't do you any good.

The following testimonial is from a LegalShield member who was excited about his upcoming job interview.

Then, it took an unexpected turn.

________________________________________________

“I’d applied for a part-time job and the manager asked me to come in for an interview the next day.

When I arrived, I was greeted by three police officers asking about my ID, which was responsible for vehicle theft and check fraud.

I was shocked, confused, handcuffed and taken to the police station.

When the detective came in to question me, I asked for my attorney.

An officer brought in a phone and I called the (legal plan) emergency line and explained the situation to an attorney who then got an investigator on the line from (identity theft plan) too.

Over the course of the next hour or so, I learned my identity was stolen - they could even pinpoint the last place it was used, which cleared me, and yes, my ID was doing bad things.

Finally, the detective came in and expressed the department’s apologies and I was let go. Looking back, I remained quite calm during that really emotional ordeal that day because I knew I had professionals on my side.

The lawyers and investigators worked with me the next few weeks to remove everything from my identity and record that wasn’t me, which was comforting, too.

When I think about that day, I shudder to think what would have happened if I didn’t have my (legal plan and identity theft plan) memberships.

I’ll never be without them.”- J. Torres, SC
