Press Release Summary = The Identity Theft Shield gives you easy access to the
resources you need to understand your credit rating ... and the information and
services you need to fight back if an identity thief threatens your financial
standing.
The services are designed to alert you to certain account activity and to restore
resulting damage to your credit history.



Press Release Body = We live in an information-oriented society. Technology allows
us to do business and make transactions literally in a matter of seconds. This
abundance of information has given rise to a new crime - identity theft. In fact,
according to a 2003 release from the Federal Trade Commission, approximately 27
million Americans have fallen prey to identity thieves since 1999. Each year that
number climbs higher and higher. In 2003 alone, almost 10 million people in the
United States reported being victimized by identity bandits.

So what does that mean? Someone has stolen your credit card - your credit card
company can help you with that, right? Well, according to the FTC, almost 60% of
identity theft issues don't pertain to your existing credit card accounts. Identity
theft can occur as a result of new lines of credit being opened in your name either
through credit cards or bank loans, as well as phone/utility fraud and even
employment related fraud. Because we are susceptible through so many avenues in our
daily life, we are all at risk.

What can you do? Where would you turn if you found yourself in this situation? Would
you know where to start to clear your name? Well, now you don't have to worry about
what to do as we have the answer.
