Identity Theft - The "Max Black" Report - Reviewed
Identity theft and identity theft prevention is a very hot consumer issue for 2008.
Max Black is an Identity Theft expert who has an added edge over other industry Guru's - He's also a victim of massive Identity Theft that virtually destroyed his life.
He's spent the last year researching new and evolving techniques which identity thieves are currently using to steal your information, and has devised a set of defensive strategies you can use to prevent your identity falling into the wrong hands.
The 'Max Black' Report is a unique e-book that provides you with a complete armory of defensive techniques you can begin using instantly for free, unlike subscription based services that will cost you a fee every single month.
Black has taken a novel approach to his research by interviewing and involving victims, industry watchdogs and identity thieves themselves in developing the e-book, to bring you the most up to date information available.
The e-book is extensively written and covers each modern 'threat' in depth, explaining how the method works, how the thief goes about it and also the impact of the crime.
Max Black then offers substantial guidance and advice on how to protect yourself and avoid becoming a victim of each particular technique.
None of the defensive techniques involve the reader having to purchase anything more, which is a nice change! I found the most useful chapters of the 'Max Black' Report included: The 'Dumpster Diving' Technique The 'Mail Interception' Method Phishing Attacks The 'PC Backdoor' Route The 'Skimming' Method, Profile 'Stripping', The 'Check Washing' Method The 2008 'Hotel Threat' I've read several books, both on and offline on the subject of identity theft and although each one has proved useful, I am yet to find content as powerful as the 'Max Black' Report.
I think the difference between this and any other publication is that Black has actually suffered as a victim of identity theft and this has given him a real insight into the crime and also an understanding of how it feels to be a victim too.
Black has chosen to write the book in an informal, casual style which really makes it easy to understand the points he's covering.
I've found that some other publications on the topic are very formally written and this can make it difficult to understand the terminology and explanations.
Another pleasing point of the report is that Black assumes the reader does not know anything about Identity Theft, so each chapter is covered in great details ensuring a complete and thorough understanding is achieved.
One point I would make is that the price initially put me off purchasing.
It is not an expensive e-book, on the contrary, it seemed too cheap to have any real valuable content.
I'm surprised to say that I was extremely pleased with the effective content and defensive strategies included.
Secondly the author does not hide the fact the e-book is only around 30 pages long.
He qualifies this point by stating the content is concise, informative, and packed full of useful content, unlike other e-books, which are bulked out with filler text to make the publication seem larger.
I can honestly say I could not find any filler text used at all.
