Review: Informative...
Rating: 4 out of 5

The first chapter is cleverly written, but I think it's  confusing. Written from the thief's perspective, the chapter lists  mistakes that the average person makes...but it lists them as though the thief is speaking...so the thief tells you to make these mistakes. I have to read the statements a couple times to get the idea in my head...'no don't do this...this is what the thief wants me to do.'For example:#3. "Don't put your password on your smart phone. It's a hassle. It also makes it easy for me to get access to a lot of information...."  Turn this around to mean...yes, password protect your phone.#5. "When you're buying things online, use your regular card rather than get a single use number from your credit card company."  Turn this around to mean, get a single use number when purchasing items online.This short book is full of helpful information. Some I already knew, some I wasn't aware of. With a little effort, an internet search will turn up most of it. If you'd rather not do the research yourself, purchase this e-book. After all, thieves are constantly coming up with new ways to carry out their unscrupulous deeds...armed with information from this book, at least we can be smart enough to make their job harder, if not impossible.
