#Needawocket Reveals Social Media Identity Theft Issues
Wocket Helps
Protect Against Identity Theft
SHELTON, Conn. - August 5, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire)
NXT-ID, Inc., (OTCQB: NXTD) a biometric authentication company focused on
the growing m-commerce market, notes that the current social media competition
"Show us your Wallet", for its next generation smart wallet, Wocket™
reveals first-hand evidence of how social media can unintentionally play a role
in identity theft.
"An
exuberant contestant submitted a photo of their big fat bulky wallet,
unfortunately displaying all the details of their driver's license", says
Laurence Savin, a marketing consultant overseeing the contest for NXT-ID.
"We obviously had to quarantine it and notified the contestant it was not
best practice to publish information like this on social media."
Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, said "This
issue has made headlines with people posting their credit card information on
Facebook and Twitter. Social media interaction can incite behavior that may not
ever be considered in the real world."
He went on to say "Your identity can
be stolen from your driver's license, credit cards, debit cards and other
personal information, all of which can be protected with the Wocket wallet;
it's your own personal vault."
Wocket allows you to enter your personal
information directly, without having to access the internet or a computer
server. If your Wocket is lost or stolen all your personal information is
hidden unless you are the authorized user. Your Wocket Card does not hold any
identifying information after the card is swiped so if it is lost it has no
value to others.
According to the Consumer Sentinel Network,
U.S. Department of Justice report dated February of 2012, 10% of all Americans
fell victim to some type of credit card fraud in 2011. A typical victim spends
44 hours recovering from credit card fraud/identity theft and an average of
$500 repairing the damage to their credit reports.
Wocket™ is a next generation smart wallet
designed to protect your identity and replace all the cards in your wallet,
with no smart phone required. The Wocket works anywhere credit cards are
accepted and only works with your biometric stamp of approval.
Credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID,
membership, insurance, ticket, emergency, medical, business, contacts, coupon,
and virtually any card can be protected on Wocket™. More than 10,000 cards,
records, coupons, etc. and 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™.
The Wocket social media competition shows
online participants how a secure Wocket™ that makes financial transactions with
one biometrically secure card designed can replace all the cards in an
out-dated wallet. Shared images reinforce the idea that old bulky wallets are
on the way out being replaced by smart wallets and more secure payment and
identity protection technology.

The Wocket team will choose the oldest,
most uncomfortable and most overstuffed wallets to win one of 10 Signature
Series Wocket smart wallet and $150 MasterCard gift card prize pack. The
competition closes August 17 2014.
