HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett announced that more than $320,000 is being distributed to Pennsylvania consumers as part of a multi-state settlement with LifeLock Inc., an Arizona-based company accused of making confusing or misleading statements in the advertisement and promotion of identity theft protection services.

Corbett said a total of 29,449 eligible Pennsylvania consumers will each be receiving a $10.87 restitution check. The payments will include a notification letter from the state Office of Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission, which is administering the distribution of settlement funds across the country.

Consumers with questions about the settlement can call the FTC's LifeLock Hotline at 1-888-288-0783 or visit the LifeLock settlement website at: http://www.ftc.gov/lifelock.

Consumers attempting to verify that a refund check is legitimate can obtain additional information on the FTC website at http://www.ftc.gov/refunds.

Corbett said the multi-state investigation reviewed complaints that LifeLock allegedly exaggerated the risk of identity theft, inflated the likelihood that consumers would become future victims and made confusing statements about a "million dollar guarantee" which would not actually provide any compensation or reimbursement for victims.

Corbett noted that the settlement has an $11 million national fund for comsumer relief.

Maybe this will be of interest to those who care where their goods come from, especially baby food and pet food?

Can you differentiate which one is made in the USA, Philippines, Taiwan or China ?

For your Information ... the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code where the product was made.

This is our right to know, but the US government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to INFORM ourselves.
