Protect your own good name…and all that goes with it.
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!
While your fingerprints are yours alone and cannot be used by anyone else,
your valuable identifying data—Social Security number, birth certificate,
credit card numbers, telephone calling card numbers and the like—can fall
into the wrong hands and be used against you.
Robert Hammond helps you understand the mind of the identity thief. He
shows how to recognize those unscrupulous individuals who may be in your
immediate vicinity: a family member or good friend, an HR assistant in your
company, the high school computer wiz down the street, or even the new
teller at your neighborhood bank.
Instead of becoming suspicious of everyone around you, Hammond explains
how identity theft occurs, who the likely victims are, how to minimize your
risk, and what you can do if your identity has been stolen. Protect yourself
from what is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent and destructive
crimes of the 21st century.
Robert Hammond is the author of several books on consumer finance and
privacy issues, including Repair Your Own Credit and Life After Debt (both
available from Career Press). He has degrees in psychology and sociology
and has studied law at Western State University in Fullerton, California.
