Summary: Unusually informative!
Review: I publish a newsletter on personal privacy and I am the author of a forthcoming book on this subject. Most of the books in this field--and I have them all--are full of generalizations and rehashed ideas. Kevin McKeown furnishes some surprising new information and co-author Dave Stern writes in an entertaining (if sometimes disorganized) fashion. If you wish to find out how private investigators can track you down, buy this book.

Summary: Revealing study of information and psychology exploits
Review: The book in total represents a small tutorial of the methods used to gather information about the criminally inclined. Small tutorial, because it doesn't give the long checklists, and it doesn't give a structured "here is how and why you do it."It adds color and depth to some of the books that claim to teach searching public records or tracing lost love ones. It hasn't made me love the "information industry", but I have gained both respect and fear. The bothersome part is that not all who know these techniques are "Good Guys".

Summary: Learn how to reclaim your privacy
Review: This book makes it really clear that privacy doesn't exist. McKeown uses some very funny stories to illustrate the techniques the con men use to steal people's identities. Not only is this a fun read, it also has great reference information as to how to protect your credit, secure your privacy, and make it so you are NOT a target for the criminals. This is a book for everyone -- if you don't think you could be a target for the identity theives, you're wrong. If you're not careful, they can get enough information just from looking at your car parked in a parking lot to rip you off -- scary stuff.

Review: This book shows you just how simple it is for another person to get information from you and about you, to be used in good or bad ways.
After reading this book, you are sure to change a few of your daily routines and be more concerned about your trash and phone conversations besides other things
A great read - a must have for everyone concerned about privacy
