MICHAEL STANFIELD EDUCATES CONSUMERS ON PROACTIVE MEASURES FOR ID THEFT PROTECTION

CHANTILLY, Va., March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ:INTX) , a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, will be featured on the 100th episode of the popular home design and decorating show, Designing Spaces airing March 14 on TLC. The special segment includes an interview with Intersections founder and CEO, Michael Stanfield, and focuses on the growing threat of identity theft and proactive steps a consumer can take to prevent someone from stealing their identity.

"We are very excited that Designing Spaces has given us the opportunity to educate millions of consumers about this rapidly growing crime and to let them know that there are solutions out there that can help protect them from becoming the next victim," said Michael Stanfield. He also cautions consumers about the many products in the marketplace claiming to provide full identity theft protection, when in reality they are only protecting one aspect of a consumer's identity. "Unlike other services being offered to consumers, IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection offers comprehensive protection for your credit, personal information, computer, and Internet transactions," he states.

"Many people do not realize how easy it is for fraudsters to access your personal information. By simply clicking on a link in a piece of junk e-mail, hackers can install applets onto your computer and access your passwords, account information and other personal data. Consumers must be vigilant and protect themselves. We hope that this segment helps viewers understand the severity of identity theft and prompts them to take the required steps to protect their identities and valuable personal data before it's too late," said Mr. Stanfield.

Viewers are invited to watch the whole episode of Designing Spaces which airs on TLC on Saturday, March 14 at 7:30 a.m. EDT and on various affiliate stations through March. For more information about our services, please visit www.identityguard.com.
