You have this whole team of people on your side, and you know that you dont have to go i dont know what i would have done without lifelock. When i first got the alert from lifelock, my reaction was actually, ha ha, i got you. Since id been alerted and lifeck was helping me resolve the issue, whoever was doing that wasnt going to be able to benefit. I was a victim of Identity Theft, and it wasnt fun. I was on my own. I had no idea what to do. And it was a terrible feeling. But it wasnt as bad as when it happened to my daughter, who was 7 at the time. Somebody had stole her Social Security number. I was furious. I was concerned about her future. And so i contacted lifelock because i had heard about them. I looked into what they offer, and it was the best thing i ever did. Announcer now lets join lifelock member tom jourden to learn more about Identity Theft, the Fastest Growing crime in america. With tom is former fbi agent and renowned speaker jeff lanza, an and Identity Theft. Jeff, thanks for being here. Youre welcome. You know, 10 years ago, i didnt even think about Identity Theft, but then, unfortunately, i became a victim. And now we hear that its the Fastest Growing crime in america. Why is that . A couple of reasons why its the Fastest Growing crime in america number one, its easy to commit, and the bad guys know that. The second reason is, its very lucrative. So once they get your information, especially your Social Security number, then its easy to convert that into cash, to monetize that formation. And once that happens, the victim is left with a lot of problems. I think most people think if they have a problem, their bank or Credit Card Company will just take care of it for them, right . Well, it depends on what the problem is. If the problem is credit card fraud, someone used your existing credit card number or cloned your card, yeah, the bank will take care of that. But thats just one part of the problem of identity thef theres a much broader problem, and that is when someone steals your identity entirely. Theyve got your i. D. , theyve got your Social Security number, they apply for these accounts in you dont even know its happening. You may not figure it out until you get a call from a bill collector, a Credit Card Company that says youre past due on a credit card that you dont even know you had. So when youre on your own, youre kind of just blind that this is happening cause theres no one out there looking out for you. Thats exactly right. You know, we have our jobs, have our family, we have our life. Do you want to take hours out of your day, maybe for days and weeks at a time, to try to figure out how to correct the problems that the identity thief caused . If you were gonna do all that, i dont know how much time it would taker even where you would begin to do that. You dont have the technology to do that. So, in general, the advice you wod give what can we do to protect ourselves . The earlier Identity Theft gets detected, the sooner you can address the issues and stop it from getting worse, and thats where lifelock comes in. They deal with this every day. When jennifer learned a fraudulent account was opened in her name, she thought she could easily deal with it on her own. So here i am trying to call and prove that im the real jennifer, and they just dont believe me. I probably talked to six or each time id have to repeat my story. I did not sign up for this credit card. I dont owe you any money. That person says, well, i cant help you, but let me transfer you to this person, and its just so aggravating. Its like, just send me to the right person. I almost got to the point where i was like, let me pay for this 400 and just close the account and lets be done, but the thing is, there were other credit cards out there. You just dont know how deep it goes. When my lifelock agent got involved, somehow she knew exactly who to talk to. I never figured out that, but she knew exactly who to talk to. And she helped me take care of it. We work, shop, even pay bills almost anywhere. Its great, but it can also make us more vulnerable to Identity Theft. Jim stickley is paid to think like a hacker. Hes been featured on investigative reports revealing where were the most vulnerable to cyber crime. No one thinks theyre gonna fall victim to ideity theft, but check this out. In a caf\ like this, you know, people have this idea that online. They feel its being provided by the local caf\ here, so it should be safe. The reality is, though, that Something Like this this is a wifi device can be brought to a local caf\, set up right here in front of people without them en knowing it, and instead of them connecting to the wifi in the organization, theyll be connecting to ts wifi device instead. What if they type in login credentials . Ive got them. If they type in a password, ive got it. If they type in credit card information, ill get that, as well. All of this information can be captured by the criminal, and then they can use that information to commit Identity Theft. I do these scams to show people whats going on out there.

Well look at all the other things its connected to in the world, all the other applications we see, we look at whats going on at the address, has anybody else used that Social Security number, is there something strange about that email . And we gather all that information together and put it through some pretty complicated mathematical formulas, and we come up with a probability score, the likelihood that thats a fraud attempt. A then you alert me as a lifelock customer if you see something out of the ordinary . Thats correct. Have the opportunity to say, oh, yeah, thats me. But if its not them, if theyre 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 caught it, notified me, and we were able to stop that credit card from ever being issued because we caught it early enough in the processing phase.

If youre notified of a breach, youre nearly 6 times more likely to be a victim of Identity Fraud than those who are not notified. And once your informion is out there, its out of your control. Thats why you need protection. You know, ive always heard of these data breaches at retailers. You always think it doesnt happen to you. And it did. Of many others, had been breached during a Christmas Shopping season by this major retailer. And thats when i said, i have to protect my family. I called lifelock. It was so simple, and i actually was kicking myself that i didnt do it earlier. Sometimes i even like hearing the ding, knowing theres an alert. Lifelock makes me feel safe knowing someone is concerned about my future and that of my children. You know, jeff, last time i was part of a data breach, i got this letter, and they offered me identitytheft protection. I mean, what do you think about that from the company that just got breached . Well, by the time you got the letter, its already days or weeks have gone by since the company even realized it happened, and they dont usually realize its happened until well after the breach has occurred. So the point is, its too late. I mean, youve already had your information out there. It could already be a big problem. The point of identitytheft protection is being proactive. Thats what lifelock does. It helps you figure out if identity, and then if it does happen, they help to resolve it. I went to the doctor, and th told me i got a letter that there was a breach and that my information may have been compromised. I was very relieved that i had already signed up for lifelock. So, heres one scam that criminals will do. Theyll buy an 800 phone number, which will actually forward to their cellphone, and then theyll call up and leave a voicemail to you telling you theres a problem with your banking account. Theyll leave that 800 number in hopes that youll call them back. So you should have received a security i. D. When you got your voicemail. So, once they answer the phone, the first thing theyre gonna want to do is theyre gonna want to verify that you are who you say you are. For security purposes, i just need to verify your Social Security number. People are very used to that, so theyll say, sure, my Social Security number is whatever it is, and just like that, they have that before people even have a chance to think, maybe i shouldnt have given that out. Yeah, no problem at all. You have a great day. Thank you. Byebye. And just like that, we have r Social Security number. Protecting your identity is a Smart Financial move.

You know, we have heard stories from people all over the country Great Stories about the product, but i think one of the stories that i nd most poignant is the story about how the company began, and that has to do with your grandmother. It sure does. My grandmother was one heck of a nice lady. E was like my second mom. She was a very healthy, active senior. One day it all changed in an instant. She slipped and fell. She fractured her hip. It didnt heal properl she couldnt walk again or drive a car again. She became extremely depressed and sad, and she died in less than a year from the date of the fall. So what did that do to you . What did that trigger . It inspired me to one day look for a product that would help people and keep them from suffering the way she suffered. Life. Safe step tub, in honor of my grandmother. Yeah. One thing i like about this product, besides the way it looks and the way it functions, you stand behind this 100 . The warranty is phenomenal. We ha a Lifetime Warranty on every part and piece.

Everybody raves first thing about just having to barely lift their foot to get in. It all starts with getting in low stepin. Very easy to get in and out of the tub itself. Sit down and rax. When i used to get in and out of a cventional tub, i always had trouble laying on one leg and getting the other leg in the tub and causing me to lose balance. I had to grab onto things, and in two occasions, i almost fell. So, thats why i decided to get into something i wouldnt have to climb in. Right when we moved in, mom was gonna go take her bath. You know those old stepover bathtubs. And she ll. And she hit her arm on the faucet. Faucet. I had a big bruise down arm. Yeah, she was sore for a few days. On my arm. Yeah.

Welcome back to safety never felt so good. It really has been a great show, and we want to welco back mike duffer, who is the c. E. O. Of the safe step walkin tub company. Tell me about the miosoothe airtherapy system that youve we are so excited about the microsoothe. We think its the best feature weve ever added to this tub. How does this work . Well, its gonna take your bathing experience to a whole new level. It blows oxygen into the water, and we allnow what oxygen does. Its fantastic, and we got to have it every day. It turns almost like into a milk bath here. It actually forms millions and millions of tiny bubbles, and these bubbles are so small, they actually penetrate the pores of your skin. They get out all the dirt and grime and impurities and toxins that we deal with every day. It moisturizes your skin. It makes your skin smoother and softer, keeps you cleaner than youve ever been before no soaps needed. You let the bubbles do all the work. And itll actually heat the water and keep it the same temperature, so you dont have to add any more hot water to it. I got to ask you, though why doesnt this leak . How do you keep the water in this tub . Well, we designed this tub with a door that opens inward. And so what happens is, as the water fills up, the pressure of the water forces the door back into the seal, and it keeps it nice, snug, and tight. In fact, every tub is tested at the factory before it leaves to make sure theres no leaks anywhere. That heated seat is terrific. My gram would have loved this, too. I wish she could have been here to see it. It kps your fanny warm, keeps your back warm. And i notice that youve got jets strategically placed all around this tub. Ah we love our jets. Weve got six on your back because we know you have more back pain than anything else. Its wonderful. Weve got two behind your legs to massage those aching legs. [ chuckling ] yeah. And then weve got two on your feet. Theres Nothing Better than to massage those aching, tired feet every day. Just like being at a spa and somebody rubbing your feet. Absolutely. Its absolutely wonderful to lay back in that heated seat, got those jets on. The jets in the back of the tub when they get through massaging my neck, it just feels like somebodys been there with their nds and rubbing my neck. It helps with the back pains, and i sleep and rest so much at night. It loosens up my joints. I camove my joints freely in the water. Oh, im enjoying the jets so much. Thank you for inventing this kind of a tub. This tub. Oh, yeah. Customers absolutely love it. It kind of cleans those hardtoreach plac. And weve combined that with the ozone cleaning system. And it purifies the water, kills all the germs and bacteria. Its like taking a bath in bottled water. It feels wonderful. All right, talk to me about the controls cause everything is right here at arms reach. Yeah, everythings very easy to reach, very easy to turn. We try to make it as easy as possible for our customers. A child can turn the controls, theyre so easy. I love my safe step tub. Its easy to access, and its slipproof. And its also got a nice, easy handle lock. Theres no effort. You dont have to push it. Theres no effort to it at all. It locks the door completely. And everything is right where you can reach it the faucets. And then theres even a nice shower you can take a shower with it. All right, mike, stand up and show me how easy it is to get out of the tub. Yeah, its very easy to get out of the tub. We have the safety bar that you can push down on. We have both sides of the tub itself you can use for additional support. And youve got the small step down. That easy. That easy. It really is a winner. Thank you.

He really wants to reach the entire world with the message of hope that jesus is lord. Take a look at this, and ill be right back. Narrator our world is wracked with immeasurable human suffering. No one is left unaffected by the clutches of fear, rage, horror, despair and hopelessness; and the earth is increasingly shrouded by spiritual darkness. The clock is ticking. Souls are perishing. Every day, every second of every day, three more people pass into eternity without jesus christ. Thats 180 people a minute. Thats 11,800 people an hour. Thats 250,000 people every day. Narrator the need to reach the lost with the gospel of jesus christ has never been more urgent. Toda the good news of a saving, healing, miracleworking savior is being delivered to the nations of the world through a media lifeline. Our mission is the world. Our passion is souls. Year after year for more than 20 years of fulltime ministry, reports from millions of people in over 127 countries continue to bear out the effectiveness of the inspiration ministries. Letters, emails and phone calls telling stories of souls saved, bodies healed, marriages restored and families reunited; lives transformed by gods power and grace through christcentered content delivered by the inspiration ministries. Were currently poised to use media in countries where methods are losing ground. More than 1. 2 billion people worldwide live within the expanding media reach of the inspiration miniries. Targeted audiences receive Strategic Programming designed for their level of interest and understanding programming for children. Teens. Men. Women. Couples and families. Jews seeking the messiah. And muslims enslaved in islam. With a window of access to the world, god has entrusted us with the global media ministry, using every form of Technology Available for the work of evangelism and discipleship. Were even seeking to reach places where the gospel cannot be preached, to people who will not or cannot attend a christian meeting. Even to the most remote regions of the earth. This is the mission of the inspiration ministries to impact the eternal destiny of peoples and nations with the christ through the media. The interesting and exciting thing is that god has given to us not only the vision but the knowhow to see his glory cover the earth like the waters cover the sea. Gods called this ministry to bring the light of the gospel to people in every continent through every form of technology in every major language. Thats our mandate, and we dont have not a minute we dont have a second to waste. Your involvement is essential.

This is the passion and the mission of this ministry is to touch you with the unbelievable, unchangeable word of jesus christ. And i just wt to pray with you just before you get to step into your faith atmosphere, to begin to believe that anything is possible when you put your trust in god.
