ARVADA, CO--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - Demartek
announces its updated Identity
Theft Prevention Tips and Commentary Report for December 2009.
Identity theft, also known as "ID theft" and "identity fraud," is a
widespread and fast-growing crime. Although potentially anybody can be
targeted, there are a number of things that can be done to reduce the risk
of becoming an identity theft victim. The recent well-publicized security
breaches, ruin of financial reputations and even mistaken arrests of
victims have triggered calls to action by individuals, businesses and
government.
The Demartek Identity Theft
Prevention report lists suggestions for individuals and organizations
to help reduce the risk of identity theft. The areas covered include the
handling of paper documents, telephone-related issues, computer-related
issues, credit freezes, and the Identity Theft Passport programs. This
report also provides references from government agencies for information
and assistance and discusses some current and proposed laws. Information
specific to the USA and Canada is included.
"Although some government agencies pass laws to penalize criminals and
assist victims, and some businesses establish procedures to reduce the
potential for identity theft, individuals can and should take action to
prevent identity theft," said Dennis Martin, Demartek President.
"Individuals also bear the brunt of the burden when it comes to the effort
and trauma of recovering from identity theft."
Dennis Martin, Demartek President, is available to speak on this topic to
civic groups and other interested parties. Call the Demartek office at
(303) 940-7575 to make arrangements. The Demartek Identity Theft Prevention report
is available online free of charge at http://www.demartek.com/IDTheft.
