Review of The Identity Theft Protection Guide: *Safeguard Your Family *Protect Your Privacy *Recover a Stolen Identity (Paperback)
I found this book helpful and easy to read. I especially enjoyed the self-test sections that allowed me to recognize where I’m most vulnerable and then concluded with definitive action items to take that are easy to implement. The author does a great job keeping these risks in perspective for you – highlighting things that affect most of us, like direct marketing and using the internet, and informing the reader about things like government surveillance that are important topics but may affect only a few of us. I do not feel more paranoid after reading this book, in fact I feel more knowledgable, more confident that i understand the risks, and therefore less paranoid overall. This book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about protecting their personal privacy.
