ACI Offers Free Identity Theft Kits for the Busiest Shopping Season

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. A number of cases have surfaced recently in which victims have had their identities stolen from companies or organizations. Lexis Nexis Group reported that a security breach may have resulted in the theft of 310,000 consumer's identification. ChoicePoint was conned into releasing 145,000 consumer profiles and Bank of America announced that it lost back-up tapes containing personal information for more than 1.2 million federal employees. Federal agencies warn identity theft increases during the holiday season.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2006 -- To prepare for the upcoming holiday shopping season, ACI Specialty Benefits Corporation, one of the nation's leading Employee Assistance Providers by Business Insurance and Workforce Management Magazines, is offering clients complimentary Identity Theft Kits to protect themselves from becoming victims of identity theft. As part of ACI's highly acclaimed Affinity product, the identity theft kits provide an abundance of resources to protect consumers from identity fraud, including valuable information on recognizing identity theft, how thieves can steal personal information, tips to protect yourself, how to minimize the risk of ID theft online and offline and what to do if you are a victim.

"The hectic holiday season presents an opportunity for thieves to prey on victims," said Dr. Ann Clark, CEO of ACI Specialty Benefits Corp. "Victims experience a tremendous violation that can take several months to correct and cause frustration, anger and stress. The Identity Theft kit is another example of ACI's commitment to provide proactive solutions for our clients to protect themselves and fight back."

The Identity Theft kits contain DVDs, textbooks, publications, a pool of resources and tools to protect and repair credit reports. Also included are step by step instructions, guides and contact numbers to report criminal activity.
