Stealing Your Life

The Ultimate Identity Theft Prevention Plan

By: Frank W. Abagnale

Narrated by: Raymond Todd

When Frank Abagnale trains law-enforcement officers for the FBI's National Academy about identity theft, he asks agents for their addresses and nothing more. The next day, he returns with everything he would need to steal their lives: Social Security numbers, dates of birth, current salary, checking account numbers, the names of everyone in their family, and more. This illustrates how easy it is for anyone from anywhere in the world to assume your identity and, in a matter of hours, devastate your life in ways that can take years to recover from.

Considering that someone in the U.S. is victimized in this way every four seconds, Stealing Your Life is the reference everyone needs, by an unsurpassed authority on the latest identity-theft schemes.

Critic reviews

"Offer[s] spine-tingling terror for anyone who has a Social Security number and birth date." (Publishers Weekly)

This book is FANTASTIC!

I can't possibly say enough good things about this book. Being a victim of identity theft, as well as my granddaughter is devastating. (A close family member is the perp!)

Had I had this information available to me 2 years ago we would have never been victims to this horrific crime.

I learned a great deal from this audio book. And it is well worth the money spent to purchase it. If you think for 1 second you can't be a victim, think again.

A must have wake up call to modern day security

In todays fast moving world where every thing is easy and fast, we never stop to think on the aspect of how things really work and on the dangers that comes with all the modern days conveniences.
The book covers very well all necessary basic precautions we should have.
