BUSINESS OWNERS GET HELP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT

SPOKANE, WA, JANUARY 7, 2007: Small business owners are now more equipped to handle the growing threat of Identity Theft, because of a book called Small Business and Identity Theft: Just the FACTA’s by Brian Gruss, CITRMS. According to Brian Gruss, a Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist, small business owners must take action to protect themselves against the far reaching crime of Identity Theft. Mr. Gruss’ book removes the fluff and the confusion giving business owners what they need – the facts and the solutions.

The Federal Trade Commission Statistics state that the complaints of ID Theft in the year 2005 were 255,565. This number is only expected to multiply as the statistics for 2006 are calculated. The effect that these victims have on business owners is staggering. The owners themselves could become victims, their employees or customers could become victims and their customers may be victims. Not to mention the problems the owner would face if the business itself became a victim. All of these problems not only affect the bottom line for business owners, but effect productivity and mental health of the owner and their employees. Brian Gruss’ book: Small Business and Identity Theft: Just the FACTA’s presents a relief for business owners. The book leads business owners through the steps of protecting the most valuable asset any person or business could possess – their identity.
