We live in a world where identity crime is on the rise due to many factors such as:

1- Our personal information is duplicated and shared at an alarming rate,
2- Our information is readily available on the Internet and elsewhere posted either by us or people we shared our information with,
3- As a society, we know little about identity theft and best ways to protect ourselves,
4- Identity crime is easy to commit, and
5- Downward economy forces people to commit identity theft.

Identity theft is constantly evolving and identity protection services such as identity monitoring are continuously improved to provide better services. When protecting one’s identity, consumers need to understand a few things:

1- Consumer actions have a lot to do with protecting their own identities. For example, owning too many credit cards increases the risk of identity theft,
2- Identity monitoring services alone can not solve all identity theft issues, and
3- Not a single market solution provides all the protection consumers need thus identity protection services must be carefully selected to provide comprehensive and integrated protection.

Therefore, it is very important that consumers understand the a) underlying causes of identity theft, b) available market solutions and their usefulness, and c) best identity protection practices to prevent, detect and resolve identity theft.

This unique and comprehensive identity theft protection book provides the latest information as well as the awareness and education that consumers need to start protecting their identities against unauthorized disclosure and fraud.
