Identity Theft Protection Course

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. Many people associate identity theft with online, computer-based activities. This kind of identity theft only constitutes a fraction of all cases discovered and reported. Most identity theft actually can be traced back to a careless paper trail left by the victim, whether it was a misplaced credit card receipt or a bank statement disposed of improperly. While it is impossible to entirely control whether you will become a victim, there are steps you can take to minimize your risk. One bit of personal information is all someone needs to steal your identity.

This course provides detailed information to help you identify the thieves and how they operate, how to protect yourself, and how to make protecting yourself an everyday part of your life.

About the Author
During 2003, John Sileo’s identity was stolen out of his business and used to commit a series of crimes, including $300,000 worth of embezzlement. While the thief operated behind the safety of John’s identity, John and his business were held legally and financially responsible for the felonies committed. Forced to defend his innocence, John spent two stressful years and $10,000 on a criminal lawyer to keep from going to jail.

During that time, John became an expert in identity theft prevention and mitigation strategies. The methods of survival he developed during this experience are the basis of his newly released book, Stolen Lives: Identity Theft Prevention Made Simple, and are responsible for the successful capture and conviction of his imposter.
