MARV STEIER: President, TVS Tenant Verification Service Inc. and TVS Small Business Service Inc.

Marv is a retired Police Officer having served in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 20 years; he was a Fraud Investigator with a major Insurance Corporation for 10 years and a Fraud Investigator with the Royal Bank of Canada’s Corporate Security Department for nearly two years.

Given the total ineffectiveness of the Judicial System with respect to deterring Fraudsters, Marv decided that is was better to prevent fraud than to investigate fraud, victims are rarely compensated for a financial loss, particularly where it concerns Business Owners and Landlords as the money is spent and the perpetrator has no means to repay the money.

Marv started TVS Tenant Verification Service Inc. a tenant screening service in 2000. Over the past seven years the Business has grown to a membership of over 32,000 from all over the U.S.A. and Canada and continues to have an accelerated growth rate each month. TVS Small Business Service Inc. dba Bizfraud is a natural extension of the tenant screening business and business owners now have the same fraud prevention tools as do landlords.

Marv is proud of the fact that the TVS companies serve to:

- reduce the risk of fraud,
- prevent financial loss
- educate business owners, landlords and consumers with respect to fraud prevention
