About this title

Synopsis

Filled with fascinating stories, this is an eye-opening look at the private investigation business and how vulnerable we all are to information and identity thieves.

Reviews

Private investigator McKeown relates many fascinating stories of his trade in this guide to protecting one's privacy. He argues that anything and everything about a person can be found with little effort or cost; caller ID and "cookies" in the computer system can compromise our privacy, and public records, mail, and trash are all accessible to those who want to harm us. McKeown's advice is timely and practical, e.g., he suggests keeping a disposable camera in the glove compartment to document an accident or road rage and shredding or bleaching any papers being thrown away. The book includes a brief list of online resources and organizations that promote privacy rights, but because it is written from the perspective of the victim, it does not list resources for information brokers or databases that allow online searches of tax liens, judgments, and court cases. A valuable addition to the books on personal privacy; for all collections.AHarry Charles, Attorney at Law, St. Louis
