Reseña del editor:

Fraud: Don’t Be A Victim and its companion book Fraud Awareness are about a 21st century crime, personal fraud, that will affect every one of us. It is becoming so prevalent in our society that no one is immune to it. It is no longer a question of, if you will be a victim of one of these crimes, but when you will be a victim. What will you do when it happens?
The defining number for personal fraud is 37.5%. Police forces around the globe recognize this number as the percentage of people who, when defrauded once, will be defrauded again. In the US, people who are defrauded once, will on average, be defrauded another three times.
The book will examine the six most common venues for fraud. Where you are most likely to find frauds today. We will examine frauds in detail with regard to these venues; credit cards, debit cards, telephones, email, the Internet and public areas. How technology exacerbates an already bad situation. What you should be on the lookout for. What to do, to minimize any effect the fraud will have on you.
Being able to identify a fraud and understanding how frauds work, is the best way to educate yourself. Learning what actions you need to take before this happens will minimize your exposure and mitigate your pain. Finally, the book will provide a comprehensive list of what to do and who to contact when you become a victim.
