How To Protect Your Brand With Social Media Identity Guard

Starting a business is a difficult thing to do today. Maintaining a good brand name is even harder.


The Internet makes it easier for everyone to do business and to communicate. It is no question that it provides ease and convenience. As good as this may sound, it also makes it easier for crooks to cause serious damage to people or companies by misrepresenting their brand names online. The most common crime is the World Wide Web today is identity theft.

Identity theft does not distinguish its victims. Everyone can be the unlucky victim of this crime: individuals, institutions and companies. Without these victims’ knowledge, identities are used on the Internet for transactions that are malicious and illegal. There are also instances where victims are defamed and their reputations are ruined. The worst part is that most of the time, ruined reputations are hard to regain. The illegal transactions can take time to repair which you’ll have to undo.

Imagine building a business from nothing and investing all resources just to make it grow. Time, money and energy are all put into this business to maximize its potential. In a blink of an eye, the business suddenly collapses and loses everything all because some crook thought of generating money out of it by stealing your brand name and identity. It’s unethical and wrong.

Identity theft has now crept into the social media world too. Some call is “name squatting”, while others call it “Face Squatting”, when it happens on popular sites like Facebook.com.

People are claiming popular usernames from many social sites like Facebook.com and Twitter.com, for example and stealing people’s social media identities! Why wait for these identity thieves to strike and destroy the business you worked hard for when there is a simple and convenient way to prevent this?
