credit card for a new tv. The RCMP fail to act on the credit card fraud and
identity theft.

Press Release Body: Burnaby BC, August 18, 2008,

Steven Simonyi-Gindele, President and CEO of ID Superstore
(http://www.idsuperstore.com), a division of Pics SmartCard Inc reported to the RCMP
an attempt by a former employee to use Mr. Simonyi-Gindele\'s personal credit card to
purchase a $5,000 television set. The attempt was unsuccessful due to vigilance of
Visa who promptly notified Mr. Simonyi-Gindele who stopped the transaction from
being processed.

Shortly after the fraud attempt Mr. Simonyi-Gindele was contacted by Mr. Les
Pilchak, a friendly competitor and owner of eCard in Delta BC. Mr. Pilchak informed
Mr. Simonyi-Gindele that he terminated the employement of the fraudster and found a
record of Mr. Simonyi-Gindele\'s credit card number and other evidence on the office
computer used by the fraudster.

The RCMP was called and they took a statement from Mr. Simonyi-Gindele, who provided
the RCMP with the former employees particulars including as well as Mr. Pilchak\'s
information. Mr. Pilchak informed Mr. Simonyi-Gindele that he never heard from the
RCMP.

Mr. Simonyi-Gindele says \"You would think that the police would at least investigate
and follow up on leads provided to what looks like an open and shut case of online
fraud and identity theft, but they chose to do nothing. I left voice mails with
the police but they did not even return my calls. I am wondering what is requried
to get service from the RCMP.\"
