MOORESVILLE, N.C., July 5, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- LifeLock Identity Theft service, the nation's first and only service that prevents identity theft, and RWI Racing have teamed up to raise awareness to ID theft, a growing problem in America. Through the partnership, fans of RWI Racing may get identity theft protection from LifeLock at a discount by going to www.lifelock.com and signing up using the promotion code (RUSTY).
"In today's high tech environment, everyone is online," said Rusty Wallace, owner of RWI Racing. "People shop, book hotels, buy tickets -- pretty much any and everything can be done online and people are making themselves vulnerable. LifeLock is a great way to protect you and your family from identity theft."
LifeLock Identity Theft service maintains active fraud alerts with three major credit bureaus as well as ChexSystems. The LifeLock system makes personal information useless to everyone except the rightful owner. Any attempt to open credit or change account information, LifeLock is there to protect their member. LifeLock also removes members from solicitation and junk mail lists, therefore eliminating a primary target of ID thieves.
"We welcome the opportunity to partner with an outstanding organization like Rusty Wallace Incorporated Racing and one of the true legends of NASCAR, Rusty Wallace," said LifeLock CEO Todd Davis. "It is well documented that race fans support their sport like no other, traveling thousands of miles each year, just to be part of the action. Traveling this much as they do, race fans should take every precaution to stay away from problems stemming from ID theft, and that is what we are attempting with this partnership."
The LifeLock logo will don RWI Racing's No. 64 entry in the NASCAR Busch Series. Through the partnership, both LifeLock and RWI Racing hope to help raise awareness and promote identity theft prevention.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to educate fans about ID theft," said John Paysor, VP of Marketing and Sponsor Relations, RWI Racing. "Through our partnership with LifeLock, our hopes are to inform fans, so that they may prevent ID theft."
