Book Description

December 1, 2006
Privacy Crisis? Easy to believe if you ve ever had your identity stolen (America s fastest-growing crime). Or if you ve ever had snoops rifling through your credit files, hackers stealing your most personal computer information, or investigators trying to track you down for something you never did. To say nothing of being hunted by an obsessive stalker, discovering your phones are subject to government wiretaps, that your e-mail is being monitored, or that you re the target of scam and con artists. Your identity, your personal life, is your business and no one should be invading it without your permission. If you want to protect your personal privacy and freedom, this book can tell you exactly how to do it. Threats to privacy are growing rapidly. In the name of security, government intrusions into personal privacy are unprecedented and will only increase. Meanwhile, common criminals are finding, in identity theft, their own personal gold mine. Banks and merchants pry ever more deeply into your personal affairs before they will do business with you. Don t be a victim. Don t be a doormat. Protect yourself. Take back your personal freedom. This book is your guide.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"The most valuable Identity Theft and Financial Privacy book ever." --Elliot Shaikin, 24/7 Private Vaults, Las Vegas, Nevada

"Grant Hall is clearly the nation's leading authority on personal and financial privacy, identity theft, and how to live anonymously. Unlike some authors on the topic, he has personally done everything he writes about. If you want the most current and reliable information available, get PRIVACY CRISIS. It's worth ten times what he s asking for it." -----Ken M., Page One Communications, Vancouver, Washington

About the Author

During the 1980s, Grant Hall managed cases and coordinated services for insurance claimants who sought settlement awards for injuries and illnesses. Hall especially studied the practices of certain claimants who avoided being tailed or followed by evidence-gathering investigators. A practitioner of the privacy lifestyle, Hall once disappeared for four years when counsel advised him to avoid the service of a summons for what his attorney described as an expensive case to defend though without merit. Although he was hunted by investigators from three states over this four-year period, Grant Hall was never found. Privacy Crisis was spawned by Hall s anonymous life on the lam. Following years as an individual investor and stock trader, Hall has managed assets for three businesses. He currently manages a business in the United States and another in Europe. Hall holds a master s degree from an American university. A long-time student of the stock market, he has been a featured guest speaker at investment seminars and also has appeared on a variety of television and radio programs.

More About the Author

A practitioner of the privacy lifestyle, Grant Hall once "disappeared" for four years during his own "Privacy Crisis" and used principles, concepts, and resources explained in his two books, Privacy Crisis Banking: Bank Secrecy Plan & Resource Guide to Protect Identity, Money, and Property and Privacy Crisis: Identity Theft Prevention Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living to travel, bank, work, and live anonymously.
His privacy courses and business articles are available at the privacy crisis official website. These topics include: financial privacy, home privacy, stop stalking, avoid identity theft, phone stalking, credit card privacy, medical identity theft, travel privacy, banking secrecy, and how to disappear completely and never be found.
He holds a Master's Degree from an American University and has worked for a government agency and companies in the private sector.
Grant Hall has been a guest on radio and television shows, appeared as a featured speaker at seminars, and has authored articles on business and privacy related topics.
Grant Hall emphasizes communication skills and behaviorial evaluation in his writings and courses on business and personal privacy, and believes that with the right information, contacts, resources, and persistence, readers can, without question, achieve bank secrecy. His ultimate bank secrecy account and invisible home mortgage are two unique financial privacy principles explained in Privacy Crisis Banking. When these two are combined, one'e home will not be traceable when money is borrowed to purchase a house while utilizing privacy principles as explained in the book's flow charts. The Ultimate Bank Secrecy Account is a bank account that is Hall's favorite method of concealing money while necessarily operating inside the banking system, and this account eliminates the dangers associated with having bank accounts discovered during asset searches.

5.0 out of 5 stars A timely guide to preventing stalking and identity theft, January 25, 2007
This review is from: Privacy Crisis: Identity Theft Prevention Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living (Hardcover)
During this era of skyrocketing identity theft crimes, violence and death to innocent victims by stalkers, and government's tracking and monitoring of citizens' business, money and communication, Americans are seeking privacy for personal security and survival. Grant Hall writes on how to live an anonymous lifestyle in his new book, Privacy Crisis: Identity Theft Prevention Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living. And he should know. He used a non-traditional 'defense' to avoid a civil court case by disappearing for four years. A number of privacy tactics outlined in Privacy Crisis belong to Hall. I have never seen these in print-and I began reading privacy books prior to the publication of W.G. Hill's first PT book. Privacy Crisis may be the best book of its kind ever written.

According to Hall, privacy living is the answer to preventing identity theft. One can escape from a stalker or disappear-for any reason by using the information in Privacy Crisis. Alternate identification, renting and owning a home in secrecy, driving and working under the radar and establishing a clandestine communication and computer system are covered in detail. This book is thorough and complete and cites case histories and challenges the author of 'How to be Invisible' on the use of nominees.
Hall provides insight on anonymous banking, cashing checks privately, alternate name debit cards and provides a resource for obtaining a safe deposit box requiring no name or Social Security number. There's information on how to keep investments, property and businesses a secret. All of this can be accomplished in the U.S.A. of all places-a welcome change from the many books offering unrealistic, inconvenient, expensive, offshore remedies for domestic privacy problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-read for Privacy-conscious Americans!, January 14, 2007
By 
Phillip Townsend (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Privacy Crisis: Identity Theft Prevention Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living (Hardcover)
It goes without saying that personal privacy is a rare commodity in America today. Identity theft has become the country's fastest growing crime. Con artists relentlessly target us while greedy lawyers and vengeful ex-spouses threaten to drain our bank accounts and assets. Our personal computers have become open doors into the most discreet corners of our lives. And that doesn't begin to address threats to our privacy from the government, eavesdropping employers, nosey snoops with hidden agendas, eavesdropping employers, and increasingly intrusive marketing-crazed companies.

Privacy Crisis is easily one of the best books on privacy ever written. Through his eye-opening inside perspective, as someone who evaded private investigators and attorneys for four years by living "below the radar," Grant Hall has brought us an authoritative how-to guide for the average American who wants to protect his or her privacy on an practical level. Far superior to the many theory-laden books on privacy, Privacy Crisis is a revealing step-by-step manual written by someone who has walked the walk. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about their personal and financial privacy in an ever-threatening society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a Hundred Times the Price, March 1, 2007
This review is from: Privacy Crisis: Identity Theft Prevention Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living (Hardcover)
Personal privacy is under siege these days. Mine was first invaded when cyber-crooks drained my checking account in a single day. If you don't take steps to protect yours, it too will go up in smoke. For you, maybe it's when an obsessed former spouse or fan starts stalking you. Or the government--claiming "national security"--begins wiretapping your phone. Maybe it's when your employer snoops on all your emails, a gumshoe rifles through your credit files, or you have to supply your most personal information just to open a checking account or buy a home.

You don't have to give up your God-given privacy. Believe me, this book will tell you everything you'll ever need to know about how to protect it--whether in just one area, or an entirely anonymous lifestyle. This author knows his stuff. He's practiced everything he writes about. So his book is far in advance of other privacy books that just recycle armchair theories or even worse, suggest you do things that are outright illegal.

Protect your identity. Protect the privacy of your home and business transactions--your computer, phone, mail, travel, bank account, stored items, credit files, hard assets, and investments. One invasion of your privacy will cost you ten or a hundred times the price of this one-of-a-kind book.

I wish I'd known about it before they emptied my bank account.
