social security number to open up a cell phone account, lifelock detected it in their network. they sent her an alert, and she spoke to a lifelock agent. - and the lifelock representative said that she wanted to conference me in with the cell phone company so that i could verify that it was in fact not me and they turned down the application. it was a very easy process and that's why i'm glad i was a member of lifelock. - so what exactly does lifelock do to find potential threats to your identity? i spoke to dr. stephen coggeshall, lifelock's chief analytics and science officer to find out how lifelock's proprietary technology works. dr. coggeshall, thanks for being here. - my pleasure. - tell me about lifelock's proprietary technology. - well we do a variety of things and what we do is really cool. lifelock's exclusive technology monitors hundreds of millions of transactions every second watching for applications for credit cards, retail credit, cell phones, and even loans and mortgages. we look for the use of your personal information such as your social security number. so we can confirm that your transactions really are yours.
2:09 am
- and then you alert me as a lifelock customer if you see something out of the ordinary? - that's correct. if a member gets an alert, they have the opportunity to say, oh yeah that's me. but if it's not them, if they're sitting home watching tv and they get one of these alerts, they can press a button and contact lifelock and we start the process of shutting that fraud attempt down. lifelock's primary purpose is to help protect our members from identity fraud. that's the reason we started as a company, that's our purpose in life, that's our reason for existence. - when a member comes to me and after the initial set of paperwork that i collect, i can then take their case off their hands. they can move on with their day to day life and i take the case from there. - we have the knowledge, the specific questions that need to be asked. we have the knowledge of what department we need to speak with. we have the knowledge of what correspondence you need to receive confirming this has been resolved. - so here i am trying to call and prove that i'm the real jennifer and they just don't believe me. - [narrator] when jennifer was alerted that a credit card had been opened in her name she thought it would be simple to shut it down herself.
2:10 am
- i probably talked to six or seven people. each time i'd have to repeat my story. i did not sign up for this credit card. i don't owe you any money. that person says, well i can't help you, but let me transfer you to this person and it's just so aggravating. it's like just send me to the right person. when my lifelock agent got involved she knew exactly who to talk to. when i got the final resolution from lifelock, like it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. honestly i don't know what i would have done without lifelock. - [tom] have you given your private information to an identity thief? jim stickley shows us how you could get tricked into doing just that. - so here's another scam that criminals will do. they'll get an 800 phone number and they'll set it up so that it'll be able to forward to their own cell phone. then they'll call up and they'll leave you a voicemail message and they'll pretend to be from your financial institution. so when you get home and hear this message, immediately you're concerned. so you call the 800 number and they'll say for security purposes, they need to know your social security number. people are used to hearing this all the time. may i verify your social security number? as far as you're concerned, you just took care
2:11 am
of a problem with your account. perfect, give me just one second to pull up your account here. in reality you just gave up your personal information. that's all i needed. yeah, no problem at all. and that's how easy it is to steal someone's social security number. - in 2015 i got a letter from the irs saying they needed to prove my identity. somebody had filed a return in my name. to know that somebody knew enough about me that they could go through with filing a tax return with my name, my social security number, it just felt wrong. well when i called bobby, my lifelock agent and when she started going through the process, the steps, it was like, ah, they know what they're doing. great feeling. - do you shred your documents, have strong passwords, have a good relationship with your bank? do you believe these things will protect you from having your identity stolen? well they're not always enough. lifelock members have identity theft protection in place before a problem occurs.

2:16 am
what do criminals do with that information? well unfortunately much of it ends up right here on the dark web. this is a place where criminals can go to put items up for sale with very, very little risk of ever having that information traced back to them. so let me show you an example here. in this particular case, this is somebody who's bundled up 48,000 medical records for sale on this one particular black market website. these records include things like your name, your address, your phone number, your social security number, your date of birth, all of the information that makes you who you are is currently for sale in this one big bundle along with 48,000 other people. when you think about it from a criminal standpoint they're gonna take this information and now they can go out and start committing all types of fraud. so they can do things like open up new charge accounts, get a new loan, they can get a fake id that has your information but their picture, and now they can got to stores and open up lines of credit that are billed back to you. it doesn't matter how good you are at personally protecting your identity, it can still end up
