Book Description

January 2, 2008

The Invasion of (corporate) locust has become a real danger to the lives of consumers. This invasion does not come from the sky nor from the ground, or trees. The invasion comes from your computer, your bank, your finance company, your grocer, your retail store, your courtroom, your insurance company, and at times, your employer - and it is not after your fall harvest; it s after the most priceless crop of all: your personal, medical, and financial information.

These locusts are not bugs, aliens, or even strangers. These locusts are unauthorized access to your personal information (invasions) made without your consent. Corporations are invading, storing, and reselling alarming levels of consumer information everyday. Personal information is being captured, traded, and sold, or simply given away by unscrupulous companies who conduct business with each day.

We are all at a disadvantage due to the level of corporate secret assessments used to determine consumer-worthiness. Information used that consumers are not aware of regarding credit, medical records, background information, spending habits, internet behaviors, family, personal, and historical information, among other factors addressed in this book.

You will learn about (corporate) business practices that are affecting your personal and financial success. This book provides the information you need to protect your information, prevent (corporate) consumer identity theft and to save money starting today!

This book identifies how consumer information is at risk, but most importantly, readers will learn that it does not have to be at risk any longer.

This is important information for students to executives that will make a positive impact in the lives of consumers for generations to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Consumer Subject Matter, March 11, 2008
This review is from: An Invasion of (corporate) Locust (Paperback)
I found this book to be truly excellent in its consumer subject matter. The book offers valuable insight into areas of personal (background), financial and medical records information protection. These are areas that while common to all consumers are often taken lightly as many consumers are not aware of the atrocities committed against the lives of consumers. The information in the book provides excellent money saving strategies relating to mortgage, insurance, college loans and other forms of financing. I would strongly recommend purchasing this life changing book to all.
