AN EDGAR AWARDS 2020 WINNER AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER In this powerful true crime memoir, an award-winning identity theft expert tells the shocking story of the duplicity and betrayal that inspired her career and nearly destroyed her family. Axton Betz-Hamilton grew up in small-town Indiana in the early '90s. When she was 11 years old, her parents both had their identities stolen. Their credit ratings were ruined, and they were constantly fighting over money. This was before the age of the Internet, when identity theft became more commonplace, so authorities and banks were clueless and reluctant to help Axton's parents. Axton's family changed all of their personal information and moved to different addresses, but the identity thief followed them wherever they went. Convinced that the thief had to be someone they knew, Axton and her parents completely cut off the outside world, isolating themselves from friends and family. Axton learned not to let anyone into the house without explicit permission, and once went as far as chasing a plumber off their property with a knife. As a result, Axton spent her formative years crippled by anxiety, quarantined behind the closed curtains in her childhood home. She began starving herself at a young age in an effort to blend in--her appearance could be nothing short of perfect or she would be scolded by her mother, who had become paranoid and consumed by how others perceived the family. Years later, her parents' marriage still shaken from the theft, Axton discovered that she, too, had fallen prey to the identity thief, but by the time she realized, she was already thousands of dollars in debt and her credit was ruined. The Less People Know About Us is Axton's attempt to untangle an intricate web of lies, and to understand why and how a loved one could have inflicted such pain. Axton will present a candid, shocking, and redemptive story and reveal her courageous effort to grapple with someone close that broke the unwritten rules of love, protection, and family.

In this timely offering, Lisa Wojna discusses how to 1) recognize scams 2) protect yourself from falling victim to these scams 3) how to recover from being victimized.In the first six months of 2011, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre reported 1988 complaints of identity theft and 8653 complaints of identity fraud, representing more than double the number of complaints in the respective categories for the entire 2010 calendar year. In dollars, those complaints add up to a staggering $7,108,385.30 for the first six months of 2011 alone.Sources suggest that as many as one in six Canadians will be victims of identity theft during their lifetime. In some cases the appropriation of someone’s identity might go unnoticed for years, making it almost impossible to identify the perpetrator. Some victims lose everything they have, and everyone touched by identity theft feels violated.This book examines how criminals target their victims, how they collect personal information, what they do with that information, why identity theft is so profitable and the many types of fraud related to identity theft. It also explains how individuals can safeguard their information, ways to identify if your information has been violated, and what to do if you are a victim of identity theft.

Most of us have encountered frustrating incidents in our lifetimes. For humor columnist Wolfgang Niesielski, one of his most exasperating moments involves an expensive hotel room, a faulty thermostat, and a patronizing front desk clerk only to be rescued by two gentlemen who, after conferring with each other in hushed tones, change their pleasant demeanor into the serious miens of surgeons before a heart transplant operation. In this compilation of his humor columns, Niesielski provides an amusing take on everyday experiences. See what it's like to have an evil cyber presence monopolize your e-mail account, understand the overwhelming differences between first class and tourist class on an airplane, and find out why it's important to choose the right gift for a loved one even if it is a Salad Shooter or an electric nail-file buffing system. From learning how unforgiving Mother Nature truly is when he forgets how to water the lawn to the moment when he discovers he is a procrastinator in the worst way, Niesielski illustrates what fun life can be when one learns to laugh at himself. The Alien in My E-Mail and Other Stories takes others on a delightful ride through one man's wacky life Salad Shooter and all.

Identity theft is the crime of this century, and this is the true-crime book of this century. It is the first book on the subject from the inside, told by someone who¿s assumed hundreds of identities and become rich off it. Not only does the author reveal how ID theft is done, he tells loads of wildly unbelievable but true stories about his impersonations as they led to riches. At the same time he tells people how to protect themselves from the gangs of ID thieves thriving in the real and virtual worlds of today, and as he explains in his foreword, Glenn Hastings (an ¿acquired¿ name) is writing this book to repent for his crimes. While committing them, he failed to take into account the damage it causes his victims. But enough was enough; ultimately he had to do the right thing.

Like snowflakes, no two of us are alike. Each of us lives through our own private movie camera called a self. Like many people, I?ve wondered who I am, or what if I were someone else. Then I became a victim of identity theft, and I realized the self is more than just how I feel inside. It also is my name, credit cards, and computer passwords. I am a firm believer in making lemonade out of a lemon, so I wrote a novel called Identity Thief. It is totally fictional and not at all the story of me. I am a much more ordinary person than the greedy, corrupt, sex-crazed people in the book. But I was fascinated by how identity theft can change the lives of both the victim and the thief. In fact, you may like the thief more than the victim. He is not a very nice guy. Interesting, but not nice. As the story snowballs dangerously down the hill, I learned right along with my characters about the mystery of the self. How we can lose ourselves, or turn into other people. And how this can lead to duplicity, blackmail, murder . . . well, I don?t want to spoil the surprises. But Identity Thief will keep you guessing until the last word. And next time you look in the mirror, you may want to make sure you look twice.

The crime of the twenty-first century doesn't discriminate: ID theft has hit ordinary citizens and celebrities alike, from Oprah Winfrey to Steven Spielberg, and costs the economy $50 billion a year. Your Evil Twin covers this exploding crime from every possible angle. It includes exclusive whodunit details from mastermind identity thieves who have pilfered money from half the members of the Forbes 400, as well as exclusive interviews with a myriad of criminals in the Internet's underground, such as Russian hackers who have extorted money from U.S. banks. The book also issues a scathing indictment of the credit granting industry, from credit card issuers to the secretive credit reporting agencies, who have misunderstood the crime from the start, have been slow to respond, and bear much of the responsibility for the epidemic. Finally, Bob Sullivan, author and identity theft expert, probes the tepid solutions now being cobbled together by the industry and government. Bob Sullivan (Snohomish, WA), senior technology writer for MSNBC.com, is the nation's leading journalist covering identity fraud. He has written more than 100 articles on the subject since 1996, and is a regular contributor to MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, the Today show, and various local NBC affiliates. With colleague Mike Brunker, Sullivan received the prestigious 2002 Society of Professional Journalists Public Service Award for ongoing coverage of Internet fraud.
