This review is from: Who Are You? The Encyclopedia of Personal Identification (Paperback)
This is the best book I have seen to date regarding privacy, identity theft, recognizing counterfeit ID's, public records. This truely complete "Encyclopedia of Personal Identification" includes information about the internet and a whole section on offshore scams. Very detailed and complete in every sense - this book is a wealth of knowledge about protecting your identity and your privacy. A super book for those who want to know how the system works and for those who value their privacy. Outstanding in every respect.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Fascinating Book,
By Dan Poynter "Author-Publisher-Speaker" (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Who Are You? The Encyclopedia of Personal Identification (Paperback)
This fascinating book tells you how anyone can get a phony ID, bogus birth certificate, fake passport and so much more. It describes how to protect your identity and how to spot phony identification. For coverage, click on Table of Contents in the left-hand column of this page. This 8.5 x 11, 352-page book is well worth the money. Scott French has written more than 20 books. He specializes in privacy, surveillance and investigative matters. As a publisher, author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I like the detailed, high-content approach of this book.

Not worth the money, and not what you're hoping for.,
By financialrelocationist (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who Are You? The Encyclopedia of Personal Identification (Paperback)
Take it from someone who's worked in this field for a long time...I was surprised at how little useful info Scott French included in this book. If you're looking for a highly detailed book about the way the legal ID systems work, this is a great book. *However*, if you're trying to find out how to counterfeit IDs, set up a new identity, or anything on the shady side, pass this one up and get something by Sheldon Charrett. In each chapter Scott provides a lot of detail about how the legal ID obtaining process works and what different types of ID are for, and a lot of how the government is trying to encroach on your privacy rights. After all that, he gives a few vague suggestions about how someone *might* possibly obtain fraudulent ID. He spends more time covering himself and his legal liability for the potentially illegal information than he does actually *giving* you useful information. Driver's licenses, the most sought after item, are given less attention than almost anything else in the book, with a few general instructions about using Photoshop so you can use layers in constructing an ID, and a republished-from-the-net listing of reviewed fake ID sites, maintained by an entirely different person. If you want to really understand the ID system, yeah, it's great, but if you're looking for any kind of serious, detailed instruction on obtaining new ID (or making false), do *not* get this book.
