Check kiting, ATM scares, bankruptcy fraud, real estate scams, Nigerian money offers, and even slave reparation scams -- there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of ways to get suckered by telemarketers or just plain fast-talking swindlers.

This book identifies the myriad of scams, cons, and frauds perpetrated every minute of every day in this country, and gives cutting-edge, up-to-date advice on how you can protect yourself from unscrupulous cons of every conceivable stripe. There will also be an entertaining section on con artists through history, from the infamous grifters of the Great Depression to the masterminds of the recent Enron collapse -- perhaps one of the greatest scams in America's history.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your Credit Score by Lita Epstein,Lita, MBA Epstein Pdf

Consumers have known about credit reports for a long time; we're well aware that lenders rely on them to determine whether they want to do business with us. Any time we want to buy a house, rent an apartment, or take out a loan, it's a safe assumption that one or several reporting agencies are going to be contacted to provide our credit history. But we don't always realize that there's a single element on that report that determines success or failure, and that's a three-digit number called a credit score. Created by Fair Isaac and Company, this formerly secret FICO number was until fairly recently available only to lenders and businesses, and although it's hush-hush no longer, many of us still don't understand it because there hasn't been enough information on what it is and what exactly lenders are looking for. And we certainly haven't known how to make it work for us rather than against us. In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your Credit Score, author Lita Epstein clearly explains what your credit score is and how it impacts your life. Rather than putting the focus squarely on credit emergencies, it provides everything readers need to know to raise their score and keep it high, now and in the future.

In this guide, he reveals everything you need to know to avoid becoming a victim yourself. " "In addition to excellent, up-to-date advice about the newest identity scams and how to avoid them, Frank Abagnale (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie) offers up choice tidbits from his life story, which demonstrate how easy it is to take advantage of unsuspecting victims. No one knows better than Abagnale just how prevalent identity theft has become. Among the facts he has uncovered, perhaps the most alarming is this: 49% of all victims have no idea how their identity was stolen, and they "never find out. " The guide does answer many key questions, however, including: -How to protect your personal information at the office, at home, and online -How to decipher your credit report -How to find out if this crime has "already" happened to you -How and why identity thieves get away with it Although the facts are chilling, the Real U Guide to Identity Theft" "is anything but cold. In typical Real U style, Abagnale takes a wry look at the truth and spells out the facts in colorful, magazine-style spreads, so that learning how to protect yourself from this crime is almost as much fun as catching one of the criminals would be.

Recovering from Identity Theft by Ronald J Leach Ph D Pdf

The headline was dreadful from a consumer's perspective. Data from all Target stores had been criminally hacked, and essential information on forty million credit and debit cards was stolen in November and December of 2013. There are reports of angry consumers calling Target's customer service and demanding help. The merchant is the wrong place to call, just as it was pointless to call T. J. Maxx when the data contained on sixty million of their customer's cards were illegally obtained by criminal hackers. This easy-to-understand, 79-page book is the fourth in the Identity Theft series. It is intended for the general, non-specialist reader, provides a set of overall strategies and specific actions you should take if you are the victim of identity theft. There are three appendices. The first appendix contains contact information for the Federal Trade Commission, the three major credit reporting agencies, many US banks, many consumer protection organizations, and a few of the more established companies that specialize in identity theft protection and recovery. The second appendix contains a checklist for protecting yourself from identity theft. Appendix three also contains a checklist; this one is used to aid you in recovering from identity theft if you are a victim. Ron Leach's lectures on identity theft have been attended by more than 3,500 people. Many more have heard him on closed-circuit television. This experience, and his long experience as a professor of computer science make him uniquely qualified to write this book, the fourth in AfterMath's Identity Theft Series.
