Assess Your Risk of Identity Theft

I just ran across a website called www.myidscore.com which states they can assess your risk of identity theft.  You input some information like full name, address, phone numbers and date of birth.  They also ask for a social security number but this is optional.  Then you press a button and it gives you a score with explanation. There is a limit of 2 score searches in a 14 day period.

According to their website My ID Score is a three digit number between 1 and 999. It describes your risk of being a victim of identity fraud and gives you real–time, actionable insight into the security of your identity.

My ID Score is different than a credit score. A credit score indicates your creditworthiness. My ID Score indicates the risk that you might be a victim of identity fraud. Your specific My ID Score will fall somewhere within three score ranges: Low, Moderate, or High. A higher score indicates a greater identity fraud risk.
