Mantissa Gives You Protection Against Identity Theft & Credit Card Fraud This Christmas

LUTON, England, December 19 /PRNewswire/ --     With immigration and benefit fraud at an all time high and
constant news of security threats from incorrectly managed data, Mantissa
Corporation wonder just what they must do to make themselves heard in 2008.
Throughout 2007 they have contacted numerous politicians, government
departments and wrote separately to every member of the House of Lords.

"iDovos" is a proactive product as opposed to reactive,
Mantissa claim it could eliminate identity fraud. iDovos works as a timer,
the owner sets their credit card (or passport, driving license, bank account)
to "ON" when they want to use it. Once the predefined time allowance has been
reached, the account automatically turns itself off. Use can be set for the
same hour every day, four hours on a Saturday, however often is required.
Think about it, what would be the point in stealing a credit card when the
chances are that it is de-activated, and any attempt to use it fraudulently
would immediately be stopped at the checkout?

iDovos could be applied to a benefit application, rail card,
passport - , anything that requires or is capable of being configured to
require an on-line authentication.

Providing permission is available to access records held by
other organisations, iDovos could be used to verify an individual's identity
(say, for a mortgage application) and if linked to national insurance
numbers, to authenticate existing data. A secure and accurate national
identity database could be created which should in turn greatly countermand
terrorism.

Mantissa are of the opinion that:

The government and major organisations are not prepared to
allow the individual any control over how their identity is used

Banks and financial organisations do not want to curb
spending, they may suffer huge losses due to fraud but this is easily
recovered by increasing customer charges. It is not in their interest to
offer a solution - perhaps they could be forced to?

Mantissa Corporation require just one bank or building society
to act responsibly and offer their customers iDovos, allowing them to have
control over when and how their identity is used.

Whichever organisation is prepared to partner Mantissa
Corporation in this enterprise could become known as "The Company that
stamped out Identity Theft".
