"We are proud to be the identity theft prevention solution for PostalAnnex+," said Davis. "Small business owners have enough concerns in building and maintaining a strong foundation.

The letters have come from universities, doctors, dentists, hospitals, lawyers, the federal government, local law enforcement, the military, retirement communities, banks, credit bureaus and several non-profit organizations.

As the leader in identity theft prevention, LifeLock reduces the risk of identity theft problems by setting and automatically renewing fraud alerts with the major credit bureaus, removing member names from pre-approved credit card offers and junk mail lists and guaranteeing the service with a $1 million service guarantee.
