Do you receive pay stubs from your employer? How do you handle the stub once you have deposited your check or if your paycheck is electronically deposited? The information printed on your pay stub could be just enough to cause you to be the victim of identity theft, if it falls into the wrong hands. Now employees and customers of a leading payroll processing company in Phoenix, AmCheck, have the opportunity to select LifeLock as a benefit.

“Identity theft criminals will take advantage of any avenue they can find to take over a person’s identity,” says LifeLock CEO Todd Davis. “A few weeks ago I was in the park with my family and found a piece of paper on the ground. It was someone’s pay stub that included all the information I would have needed to cause great harm to that individual. Though it may have been in trash or just lost to the wind, this important information was lost for anyone to use. It’s because this simple mistake could have cost someone dearly, that we stress the importance of placing layers of protection. This should be a tremendous partnership to spread that vital message.”

Here is a statement from the CEO of AmCheck, Dean Lucente: “Working in the payroll industry, we understand how crucial it is to devote the utmost attention to people’s personal information, and that’s why we are thrilled to partner with LifeLock.
We strive to offer our customers the best service, and by helping our employers and their employees to protect their identities, we are further setting AmCheck apart from its competitors in the payroll industry.”
