New Coverage: ID Theft Insurance
You can already insure your house, your car, your possessions, and your health. But that's hardly good enough for the threats of the 21st century. Now you can insure your Identity. At least, that's Metlife's new strategy to attract customers. The insurer has begun offering free Identity Theft Aid to people who already hold its homeowner insurance policies.
