OpSec Security Launches the Get Real! Consumer Education Facebook Page

Global Leader in Anti-Counterfeiting and Brand Protection Creates Platform to Raise Consumer Awareness

BOSTON (September 10, 2010) – OpSec Security, Inc., the global leader in anti-counterfeiting and brand protection, launched Get Real!, a Facebook page dedicated to educating the public on the issues and impact of counterfeiting and piracy.

OpSec’s Get Real! page serves as an online forum for consumers to garner informative facts and figures on the impact of counterfeiting, contribute personal experiences and opinions, gain insights and perspectives from industry leaders, and learn helpful tips on how to spot fakes. The Get Real! page also provides the latest news in the industry, updates on anti-counterfeiting and intellectual property legislation, and valuable links to government initiatives and industry organizations focusing on the global issue.

“We want to bring the conversation surrounding counterfeiting and piracy to the people they impact the most – consumers,” said Terri Mock, Vice President of Global Marketing at OpSec. “Counterfeits can be found in many of the products that we buy and use every day, from luxury and apparel goods to consumer electronics gadgets to drugs and personal care items. Illegal fakes and substandard knock-offs pose public health and safety risks, impact our economy, and have been shown to fund organized crime rings. In launching the Get Real! page, our goal is to increase public awareness on the impact and dangers of counterfeiting, and engage our Facebook fans to be part of the discussion.”

OpSec will manage the Get Real! page, facilitate the online forum, and allow the exchange of ideas and experiences in a thoughtful, interesting dialogue. To join the conversation, visit the Get Real! Facebook fan page.
