The Official Identity Theft Prevention Handbook is the first book to analyze identity theft in its proper context, provide takeaways to minimize the likelihood you will be harmed by identity theft and mitigate the negative consequences if you become a victim. Identity theft continues to proliferate, and it is tearing the fabric of our society. All understand it's important, but compelling people to take appropriate action is a challenge. The Official Identity Theft Prevention Handbook provides a tremendous first step towards individual and societal responsibility; we can swing the pendulum in the other direction. In the case of identity theft, the best defense is a good offense. |

Identity Theft Victim: Help & Support After the Crime provides REAL answers for victims of America's fastest growing crime who are crying out for sensible, unambiguous and reality-based assistance. This refreshingly pragmatic book speaks to victims weighed down by ineffective advice, vague responses and no solution attitudes. It acknowledges creditors' 'guilty until proven innocent' mind-sets and a society that gives thieves, impostors and con artists a mere slap-on- the-wrist. Identity Theft Victim: Help & Support After the Crime provides insight, knowledge and answers to real issues and circumstances facing today's identity theft victims. Quickly distinguishing itself from the pack of identity theft books, it unabashedly acknowledges the sad but true fact that identity fraud victims typically find themselves victimized twice, once by their impostor and then again by the present system! Under this known but seldom discussed reality, Identity Theft Victim offers support and the tools for victims to work within a system that is presently antiquated, overwhelmed and impractical.Written by a former identity theft victim in response to numerous requests to share her story, her experience and her success, Ms. White meticulously details the practical plan that turned her agony into answers and her trauma into triumph. Most importantly, Identity Theft Victim: Help & Support After the Crime fulfills the promise of providing victims with the knowledge, assistance, support and strategies to help them prove their innocence and victim status along with important organizations, contacts, sample letters and the tools that change panic and procrastination--into unrelenting persistence and perseverance! |

Product Description:
Don't give anyone else the power or the means to assume your identity, ruin your good name, steal your hard-earned credit, demolish your credit rating, or even subject you to criminal prosecution. This book shows you how to keep your identity protected, safe, and ready to be used by only one person-you! Instead of becoming suspicious of everyone around you, Hammond's interesting accounts of ID usurpers will give you the information you need to decide if your personal data is in the scope of an identity pirate and specific steps you can take to protect it. He explains how identity theft occurs, who the likely victims are, and what you can do if your identity has been stolen. He gives practical solutions, and surprisingly easy ways to minimize your risk of becoming a victim of what is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent and destructive crimes of the 21st century. |
