Not the best choice

Signing up was easy, but then the flurry of emails and need to download an app and pay an additional monthly fee for it, and some confusion about how to get the various protections launched have left me disillusioned.

🌟 A Wake-Up Call Turned Lifesaver

🌟 A Wake-Up Call Turned Lifesaver, Thanks to IDShield 🌟

There I was, just going about my day, when suddenly, my phone lit up with an alert from my IDShield app. Talk about a heart-stopping moment! Finding out that my personal details were hidden away in the dark corners of the web was nothing short of a shockwave. But I didn't freeze—I reached out to IDShield, and that's where my journey took a hopeful turn.

Now, picture this: spending 18 minutes in a deep dive with a private licensed investigator, someone who knows the ins and outs of identity protection like the back of their hand. This wasn't just any conversation; it was a masterclass in safeguarding my identity against the silent but deadly epidemic of identity theft that's sweeping through our lives unnoticed.

Saying I'm 'grateful' barely scratches the surface. I'm not just thankful; I feel empowered and shielded by IDShield's unwavering vigilance. In these times, when nothing seems certain, having a team of guardians watching over me is a comfort that's hard to describe. 🛡️✨

In two weeks of membership with IDShield they have demonstrated such ethical and solid information about identity theft I am convinced IDShield has my trust. Thank you IDSield for placing that security credit alert on all three credit bureaus. I feel so much more secure.

My experience with ID Shield is…Terrible

My experience with ID Shield is terrible. I signed up for their $1 dollar 7 day trial to get a hold of my credit information. Before the week was out I told them I didn't want to continue their services. I got a hold of my credit report from Trans Union for free.

On November 13, 2024, ID Shield bill me US $14.95 for their services though I told them I didn't want to continue. On November 21, 2024, ID Shield tried to bill my credit card for another $42. My credit card detected their second billing as fraud and froze my
Visa card. I had to get a new credit card because there was no other way to stop them from continuing to fradulently bill me. Don't us them, you are warned.
