Customer Review: While covering a wide range of topics, it does so in an extremely basic manner, and even then, with very brief, and relatively poor explanations. In fact, so basic is the coverage that it is unlikely to be of use to anyone who buys it - people who buy a book such as this are likely to already have a certain degree of knowledge on the topic.

Customer Review: We had invested into a small retail outfit selling outdoor hobby items on the internet. The target audiences were those teenagers and young hobbyists who are often less mature but clever enough to play dirty tricks through taking advantage of the loopholes along the payment process. Having to eat the losses from time to time, we made up our mind in changing the entire way of handling sales and payment and were then successfully cut down the defraud rate by almost 90%.
Why do you need to be so concerned about consumer committed fraud? Because consumer committed fraud is a major source of risk for small businesses doing business in the online world. This book was written basing on real life experience fighting fraud. The goal of writing this book is to share our experience with you. We want to tell you how we have protected ourselves from consumer fraud, and how you can achieve the same. Instead of going highly technical, we wrote this book in such a way that it would be an easy-read for you, that you can use the techniques right away for your fraud prevention effort.

Customer Review: Despite being (allegedly) written - in part at least - by a professional card fraud gang, the book offers only very basic information on both the way card fraudsters operate, and how they can be stopped.
The book is OK for a small merchant, with little credit card experience or knowledge. However, it is a waste of time for anyone with a reasonable understanding of the topic.
It is also ridiculously over priced. Although having 53 pages, please note that:
- a number of pages are either completely blank, or alternatively, contain only one small paragraph
- The book is of relatively small dimensions
- The font is quite large
If you gather from this that you don't a lot for your money, you are 100% correct.

Customer Review: The Internet Survival Guide Series "Protecting Your Financial Information" is a must-have reference book for anyone seriously interested in understanding how to protect their financial assets. The author, James Christiansen, presents this critically important material in a well organized and easy-to-read style for all ages. Even our children can be affected by scammers when they are out on the internet. With the increasing use of on-line shopping and banking and the threat of identity theft, the author gives a tremendous amount of practical information that can be used to avoid becoming a victim to hackers and cyber-thieves. I did a quick read through the book once, then read it again to start applying the principles in this book. Just the valuable information about setting up strong passwords, passphrases and encryption is worth buying the book. I'm really impressed with this book and also have it's other two companions in the series called "Protecting Your Family" and "Protecting Your Home Computer." These books represent an arsenal and defense that the average computer user can put into action. I keep them right next to my computer. I highly recommend this book!!

Customer Review: "What everyone needs to know about protecting themselves from identity theft and fraud can be found in the brutally honest book Insider's Secrets To Identity Theft & Fraud: What They Don't Want You To Know."
"This insightful look at the mindset and tenacity of a woman addicted to committing crime will shock you and make you rethink how you handle your social security number, identification, credit cards and credit history."
"This book is truly an eye opening read that reveals just how simple it is for your information to get in the wrong hands, making you a victim to this vastly growing epidemic."
"This is definitely a book to read."

Amazon Price: $40.45
Customer Review: I think this is another one of those big books that tries to cover too many topics. It's really just a general discussion about web security, rather than a handbook of any kind. There is a lot of boring history, storytelling, etc.
I do think there were a handful of solid rules-of-thumb and practical wisdom, and I'm glad that I read this book, but it could have been condensed dramatically.
I believe most people who are going to actually deploy some kind of web service would probably get all the same info, plus much more practical detail, by reading books on the particular software they plan to use (e.g. Apache, Sendmail, Unix, etc).

Customer Review: I have to preface this review by stating that this is the first Sharon McCone mystery I've read (but will certainly be reading more). Heroine Sharon is undoubtedly a personable sort of lady, and even as a first-time reader, I felt that I'd got to know here pretty well by the end of this tale. Feisty, independent, strong-willed, but nonetheless with a beguiling sense of fragility in the face of danger.
The inclusion of her pet cats Alice and Ralph is a clever way to personalise Sharon's away-from-work persona. Being a cat owner myself, I had to laugh at Ralph's experience - having to be injected with insulin by the fumbling Sharon, who ends up paying her young neighbour $20 a month to do the job!
The plot is easily and well constructed - not overly complicated - but with enough twists and turns to keep the reader on their toes. The dialogue and idiom feel spontaneous, and appropriate to the times and natural to the people speaking.
One insurmountable problem for me (as a first-time reader, remember) was the character of Hy Ripinski, Sharon's on-again, off-again, maybe husband-to-be. Obviously, Hy's character has already been more than well-developed in Muller's previous McCone stories, but to this new reader he made no sense - either as a foil to this story, or as Sharon's life-partner. While she's being stalked and attacked and otherwise terrorised, Hy's up at his farm chilling out! What the...? And what's with his disconcerting use of Sharon's surname as a term of "endearment"? How many guys, in reality, would ever get away with that? All a little too unbelievably idiosyncratic maybe.
Ultimately, I had no idea what Ripinski was like as a man, either from a purely physical viewpoint, or as to what his philosophies on life were... or even what his relationship with Sharon is all about (from his standpoint). Is he a user, or worse a guy who lacks commitment? Is Sharon aware of his intentions, or is she as much in the dark as this reader was?
Incidentally, the "strangers" in my review title refers mainly to a few characters who Sharon mentioned in passing, or socialised with whom I'd never heard of, and who didn't seem to have any bearing on the story one way or the other. Hank Zahn; Habiba Hamid; Molly, Lisa and Jamie; Bette Silver; the Halls; to name a few.
Apart from those few hiccups as a new reader, I'm definitely going to be reading quite a few of Muller's McC...
