Suze Orman and TrustedID[TM] Unveil New Edition of Suze Orman[R]'s Identity Theft Kit.
Acclaimed Personal Finance Expert and Leading Provider of Identity Theft Protection Expand Distribution of the Most Sophisticated Solution in Identity Theft Prevention
SAN FRANCISCO -- America's foremost financial expert Suze Orman and TrustedID, the leading provider of identity theft prevention solutions, today announced the availability of a new edition of Suze Orman's Identity Theft kit, the foremost solution to provide comprehensive proactive identity theft protection for individuals and entire households at a price everyone can afford. The new edition builds on the success of the previous kit to offer consumers the most comprehensive and cost-effective identity theft solution available anywhere.
By securing assets as diverse as credit reports, medical records, and credit card accounts, the protection offered by Suze Orman's Identity Theft kit covers not only the purchaser, but also extends to a second adult as well as children and elderly parents. The kit is offered at $44.95 (MSRP) and is currently available for purchase on QVC[R], and at major retailers nationwide including Barnes & Noble[R], Borders Books[R], Books-A-Million[TM], Amazon.com as well as other national retail chains.
The Federal Trade Commission reports that identity theft affected more than 10 million Americans in 2008, making it the fastest-growing crime in the nation. Looking ahead, the Identity Theft Resource Center expects this crime to increase in 2009.
Armed with personal information such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, names and addresses, identity thieves drain their victim's bank accounts and commit criminal fraud in their name. In the current economic downturn, more and more instances of credit fraud and data theft are being reported across the country, and unfortunately no one is immune. While committing identity theft can take just minutes, victims often find themselves spending months--or even years--to unravel the consequences.
"During these tough economic times, people have more reason than ever to be concerned about their credit and the possibility of identity theft," says Suze Orman. "In order to avoid falling prey to identity theft, consumers need to apply a combination of proactive defensive and offensive measures to protect their personal information and financial assets. My new kit provides consumers with all the necessary tools to combat the growing problem of identity theft."
