Identity Theft: How to Protect Your Most Valuable Asset

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.
