5.0 out of 5 stars The info in this book is more important than ever before!, June 14, 2002

By	Thomas Ackerman (East Lansing, Michigan) - See all my reviews

The Guide to Identity Theft is one of the most important single resources to become available to consumers and law enforcement officers in years. This book covers identity theft in complete detail including what it is, who is at risk, how the crooks carry out their scams, and how to avoid becoming a victim. The author also explains what your liability is and provides advice on what you should do if you are victimized, right down to the specific content of letters you should write to credit reporting agencies and your creditors if someone steals your identity. Combating identity theft will undoubtedly become more critical as we increase our vigilance against terrorists who try to assume the identity of others to accomplish their missions. The information in Johnny Mays book is exactly what Americans will be talking about as we defend ourselves against terrorists and other criminals in years to come, and the author is well-qualified to spread the word.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Provides Solutions, June 20, 2002

By	Douglas P. Belfiore (Trumbull, CT United States) - See all my reviews

The author's engaging real-life accounts of identity theft and fraud illustrate the many ways in which thieves prey on their victims. But this concise, well-written book doesn't just point out our vulnerabilities to identity theft. Just as importantly, it provides lots of great info on how to protect our privacy in the first place, and what actions to take and which agencies to contact if we are victimized.
