From the Author

The individual who wrote this book wishes to remain anonymous. He has twice been a victim of identity theft: once when noticing a slew of mysterious charges to his credit card from a distant state he had never visited, the other time when his bank balance dropped dramatically after surrendering his ATM card to a person he thought was a bank officer during a bank merger.

Most people don't fully understand how damaging ID theft can be. This book has lots of great examples and stories about ID theft that teaches us the different ways it can disrupt our lives. Until reading this book I, like most people, only thought of ID theft as credit card theft. I now know its much more. I have been selling ID theft protection for the past year, and I purchased this book to get a better understanding of the crime. I have to say it was a real eye opener about this crime and gave me a better appreciation for the ID protection service I sell.

Wow! What a comprehensive collection of the many chilling ways a person can have their ID stolen. Lots of real life stories. Until I read this book, I was unaware of the vast number of ways my family or I could be victimized. It is now very clear to me that I not only need to watch what I do with my credit card receipts, shredding of my confidential paperwork, and not using my mail box to send/receive bills/payments, but I need to continually monitor (or have monitored) my credit and financial records. My ID can be so easily stolen (or bought) that I might not know it until the police show up to arrest me.
