5.0 out of 5 stars
The Facts of Identity Theft,
By Belladomina (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Identity Theft: What It Is, How to Prevent It, and What to Do If It Happens to You (Paperback)
The book deals with every day instances in which, we carelessly throw out financial papers, seemingly innocent statements of bills and open ourselves up to invasion by simply not thinking about what the consequences of divulging information to people will be. It parallels Identity Theft from a US and UK perspective. It was a fascinating comparison of the two systems, which are very similar in some respects.
It gives good advice on what steps to take if you have been a victim and also resources to check credit reports. It is very well organized and easily understood.
