Protect yourself from Social Media Identity theft, CyberSquat

Why do you need to protect your identity or business at social media sites? What if someone have already registered your name or brand for example at twitter? How is it going to affect your business? why does someone need your name or brand? If you act fast, protect your identity at social media sites; you need not worry about the above.

People get frustrated when they find out that their name or brand is taken by someone else while they register at a social networking site. This may not be a cybersquat or identity theft. Chances may be that someone else have the same name or brand and he was first to register it. It may be possibly an identity theft which may lead to stalking, harassing or misinterpreting your brand. Reports suggest that several companies have suffered financial losses due to Cyber Squatting.

There are a few services which register and protect your brand in the social media sites. Mostly they are automatic and will not be as efficient as the personalized manual registrations. I have provided the top 150 social media sites for you to register if you have not already registered. I have listed it in the alphabetic order for convenience. Please note that the list is not organized based on the popularity of social media sites.

We offer personalized manual registrations to the 150 sites at a much lower rate than the Automatic Submissions. On completion of the registrations we confirm emails and supply you with the account details. You can protect your identity now for $49 at 150 sites

Kindly note that I will be updating 15-20 sites everyday due to lack of time and hopefully  complete this list in a week's time. Your comments will motivate me to work fast and complete it quick. Please leave your comments, "good and bad"  comments will be published for sure.
