Consumers Receive Assistance for Identity Theft Risk Management and Resolution

Consumers who are concerned about Identity Theft, and those who are struggling to recover from an Identity Theft incident, can now receive the expert assistance needed to educate and guide them in reducing their risks, resolving their case, and reclaiming their names.

In addition to the multitude of traditional Identity Theft tactics employed by thieves and scam artists, data theft and data security breaches are rampant. Companies large and small, and even government entities, continually fail to adequately protect the confidential information of their clients and customers

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- Consumers who are concerned about Identity Theft, and those who are struggling to recover from an Identity Theft incident, can now receive the expert assistance needed to educate and guide them in reducing their risks and resolving their case. Global Fraud Solutions, LLC (www.GlobalFraudSolutions.com) announced today that it is making its highly-acclaimed CasePlanner™ Identity Theft Risk Management & Resolution software available to all consumers for only $15 - a dramatic savings of over 60% - until September 1, 2007.

CasePlanner is a proven and effective resource that is highly regarded for Identity Theft risk management and resolution, and is endorsed by the award-winning Institute of Consumer Financial Education. Unlike simple books or pamphlets, CasePlanner software provides consumers with both the knowledge and the tools needed to manage their risk and resolve their case.

Designed by law enforcement officers and financial fraud investigators, with additional input from consumer privacy and consumer protection experts, the patent-pending CasePlanner software is a powerful and effective multi-tool in the fight against Identity Theft with two areas of focus: 1). Consumer education and proactive Identity Theft risk management and 2). Guided Identity Theft case resolution assistance. The software is intuitive and easy to use, regardless of the user's level of computer experience, and includes clear and simple step-by-step instructions, combined with expert tips and guided assistance. The software is designed for PCs using Windows® 2000 or XP.

"Consumers and their private information are under siege, and we are proud to make this exceptional tool available to assist them," said Michael Barnett, founder and General Manager of Global Fraud Solutions. "In addition to the multitude of traditional Identity Theft tactics employed by thieves and scam artists, data theft and data security breaches are rampant. Companies large and small, and even government entities, continually fail to adequately protect the confidential information of their clients and customers," Barnett continued. "The standard response has become 'Have a breach, send them a letter, and offer them credit monitoring'. This is an ineffective solution that offers a false sense of security, and does not begin to address the myriad of potential issues that can arise from Identity Theft and never be discovered through such services."

CasePlanner's Help file system contains the Identity Theft Awareness and Prevention Guide™, an information-packed resource designed to educate consumers about the crime of Identity Theft. The guide includes detailed discussions, in plain English, of the many aspects of the crime and how it can occur, the multitude of methods and scams that thieves use, how to spot an attempted scam, and also provides the consumer with an increased awareness and clear understanding of their possible vulnerabilities so that appropriate actions can be taken. It is separated into convenient, easy-to-read sections, and each section provides specific proactive risk management actions that can be taken by consumers to protect themselves and reduce the chances of being victimized. The guide's content is updated to address new trends and scams, and updates are made available to the consumer at no cost.

CasePlanner also includes two powerful risk management and preparedness tools, the Personal ID Inventory™ and the Valid Accounts Register™. Prompt reporting and notifications to creditors and financial institutions at the first hint of trouble is critical if the consumer hopes to limit the potential damage that may be caused by a thief. In order to accomplish this, he or she must have all of the necessary information assembled and readily available to them ahead of time. Each may be rapidly printed at any time in a concise, organized report, or simply retained in CasePlanner's secure, encrypted database for later use.

For Identity Theft incident reporting and resolution, CasePlanner was designed to dramatically level the playing field and addresses the needs of both the victim and the investigators involved in the case. Through its exclusive Identity Theft Resolution Case File System™, CasePlanner provides victims with the information and tools needed to thoroughly and efficiently organize, report, and document their case from initial discovery to final resolution. The Case File system provides everything that the victim needs to easily document and keep their case organized, and automatically completes and generates required correspondence, notifications, and affidavits. The Resolution Help system provides clear instructions and expert guidance to walk victims through the process of achieving expedient and successful resolution. Initial action steps provide critical, time sensitive actions and detailed instructions to immediately begin making notifications and minimizing the damage. Every section of the Case File can be quickly and easily printed into concise, organized reports that are readily accepted by investigators. Victims can even track expenses associated with their resolution efforts for possible restitution or reimbursement.

"Unfortunately, without an empowered, proactive risk management approach, consumers are simply waiting to be victimized, and will eventually struggle through the long and difficult process of resolution," Barnett stated. "Likewise, consumers who have already been victimized must be equipped with the proper tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to achieve resolution and reclaim their lives."
