Not worth it, you'd be better off calling each of the credit reporting agencies and freezing your credit to avoid fraudulent activity.

LifeLock CEO Todd Davis, whose number is displayed in the company’s ubiquitous advertisements, has by now learned that lesson. He’s been a victim of identity theft at least 13 times, according to the Phoenix New Times.
No service will prevent identity fraud. The best bet is to monitor your credit report, credit card balances, bank balances and tax returns.

I've started writing a thread about my personal privacy journey actually, it will address some of those concerns. On the whole, they are not really needed.

Currently I use Experian credit tracker. I'm going to switch to protect my ID though. Experian credit tracker is useful but doesn't offer the daily monitoring that protect my ID does. The link is below.

I would suggest that everyone set up a free credit karma account and login to it at least twice a month. You will see any pull of your credit info and any accounts taken out in your name. You would be catching it after the fact, but quick enough so it doesn't ruin your credit.

That's just one of those services that they call you to sell you this by force, and hope that you don't notice the charge passing on your credit card every month.
