IDENTITY THEFT Protecting Yourself from an Unprotected World

It's hard to imagine a more complete lesson on ways to protect against fraud and identity theft than this well-researched audio presentation. Along with providing helpful tips and resources in a printable file, the audio describes an array of financial situations that, if not managed proactively, can lead to fraud, annoyance, and enduring damage to one's credit reputation. Examples include advice on what personal data to provide others and what paper records to shred or save. The author's thoroughness in pulling together this important lesson and the earnestness in his voice compensate for his noticeably unrefined articulation. His phrasing is often at odds with the writing, and he tends to rush when certain words challenge his pronunciation skills. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2008]
