As a victim of identity theft in the past, I wish I had had this book! There are great tips in here, with specific actions you can take to protect yourself. Don't be like me, and lose $4000 to credit card number thieves! You may think this is hype, but it's true that identity theft is a huge problem right now - help yourself out and buy this book.

An informative guide to the innovative avoidance of the modern threat of identity theftMar 11, 2006
By Midwest Book Review
Stolen Lives: Identity Theft Prevention Made Simple is the informed and informative guide to the innovative avoidance of the modern threat of identity theft knowledgeably written by John D. Sileo. Having been victimized by an identity theft, John D. Sileo lived the horrors and pains of defending his innocence for the embezzlement of $300,000 for the span of two years, during which he became highly educated on the whole construct of modern identity theft and with Stolen Lives is doing his best to prevent others from having the same thing happen burden their lives. Written in an easy-to-use format, Stolen Lives is the ultimate informational reference for situational threats such as who to watch out for, how likely certain people may commit such acts, proper mentality for banking, and many more educational information. Stolen Lives is strongly recommended reading for all readers, but most particularly newcomers to cities who are setting up a new life and in fear of identity theft.

The most Well Organized Book I've Read On Identity TheftJan 12, 2006
By Ivy League Reviewer
I have had my identity stolen several times, and my wife has had it stolen once. We have read everything there is to read on identity theft and Stolen Lives is by far the most logically organized. Mr. Sileo gives a calendar of tasks to follow that walks you through every single step, one by one. You would have to be a complete idiot to not get this one. And you really only have to spend a couple of minutes on each step, so you don't get bogged down in a useless checklist. I recommend this to everyone I know. I also liked Johnny May's book.
I have also had the opportunity to see Mr. Sileo speak at an association meeting that I attended. He was a phenomenal speaker - I highly recommend trying to see him if you can.
