MyPublicInfo’s IdentitySweep Saves More than Money at the Pump

Filling Up a Tank of Gas Has Never Been So Dangerous

Arlington, VA - September 16, 2008 (AllPayNews) – IdentitySweep, the leading-edge identity fraud detection technology that scans billions of public records for suspicious activity associated with identity fraud, today announced their protection against gas station credit card skimming scams. As gas prices rise, there is also rising threat of thugs skimming Credit Card information, even ATM Cards including PIN numbers – and the gas is not the only thing that is expensive anymore. IdentitySweep allows consumers to feel safe when using the machines at the pump. As an early warning system that beats the traditional credit report check, IdentitySweep scans the world wide web for credit card numbers and personal information. They then send threat alerts to IdentitySweep customers, notifying if any of their personal information finds its way online.

“Skimming scams are impossible to detect by unsuspecting consumers, but if you forgot to give the pump card entry slot a quick tug to make sure it’s not loose, or don’t like to go to the cash register inside instead of using the pump, then IdentitySweep is your next best option,” says Pat Dane, Chief Revenue Officer for MyPublicInfo. “IdentitySweep monitors and searches for personal information including Credit and Debit Cards being bought and sold in hacker chat rooms around the world, stopping the problem before it becomes one.”

IdentitySweep also provides its users with a “risk score” that measures how much and how long personal information might be compromised. For additional piece of mind, IdentitySweep comes with a zero deductible $1,000,000 ID Theft Insurance policy that reimburses the consumer for most out-of-pocket expenses from an identity breach, including lost wages. Finally, IdentitySweep offers the "Recovery Butler," the most comprehensive recovery service in the market. The service includes filling out all forms and documents, notifying credit bureaus, placing fraud alerts, and ordering hard copy credit reports for Identity Theft victims, along with assisting the victim in reviewing their credit files for accuracy.

MyPublicInfo’s IdentitySweep is easily accessible at www.IdentitySweep.com and is available in two plans, starting at $9.95 a month. See how IdentitySweep stacks up against its competitors: http://tinyurl.com/5b4s5t.
