The Ultimate Identity Theft Prevention Plan
When Frank Abagnale trains law enforcement officers around the country about identity theft, he asks officers for their names and addresses and nothing more. In a matter of hours he can obtain everything he would need to steal their lives: Social Security numbers, dates of birth, current salaries, checking account numbers, the names of everyone in their families, and more. This illustrates how easy it is for anyone from anywhere in the world to assume our identities and in a matter of hours devastate our lives in ways that can take years to recover from. Considering that a fresh victim is hit every four seconds, Stealing Your Life is the reference everyone needs by an unsurpassed authority on the latest identity theft schemes.
"This heart-pounding guide drives home the point that identity theft can come from any direction at any time to anyone" - PW.
"Abagnale gives 20 easy steps to safeguard your identity and credit, explains how to obtain and read your credit report, and recommends ways that society at large can take measures to prevent this insidious crime" - Booklist.
