(BULLETIN BOARD: LPLHA, LPLHB, LPLHW) , an industry-leading
provider of business-to-business and business-to-government
investigative solutions, announced today it has entered into a
channel partnership with MyPublicInfo, Inc. (MPI), an innovative

the information stored in these databanks exclusively and directly
to consumers. According to the agreement, LocatePLUS has been added
as a data provider for MPI's flagship product, the Public
Information Profile (PIP). PIP enables consumers to perform their
own comprehensive "background checks" within minutes through the
Company's secure, online website, MyPublicInfo.com. PIP enables

thousands of government and commercial databases across the county.
MPI's partnerships have passed and strictly adhere to federal
regulations governing sale of background information, including the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Drivers Privacy and Protection Act and
the Fair Credit Reporting Act. MyPublicInfo Founder and CEO Dr.
Harold Kraft stated, "Identity theft, the reliability of public
informational databases and privacy rights over personal
information are of great concern to the general public. Our PIP
product empowers consumers to identify and correct any fraudulent
or erroneous information and furthermore gives 'peace of mind' as
to what information is currently available about them." Dr. Kraft
continued, "The accuracy of our public personal records is
critical; most often this data forms the basis for qualifying
individuals for employment, insurance, loans, purchasing real
estate, and even voting privileges. By partnering with LocatePLUS,
we have added a database that meets our high standards for data
integrity, quality and reliability to provide our customers with
additional, up-to-date information." LocatePLUS CEO Jon Latorella
stated, "We are excited to partner with Dr. Kraft and participate
in MyPublicInfo's PIP product launch this month. PIP offers
consumers a revolutionary way to identify and detect identity
theft, and/or uncover errors in their personal records. This
partnership presents a new growth opportunity for LocatePLUS to
generate sales an emerging, high- growth direct-to-consumer
sector." About MyPublicInfo MyPublicInfo, Inc. (MPI) was founded in
