Identity theft is the fastest-growing white-collar crime in America. It has hit ordinary citizens and celebrities alike. The crime of the twenty-first century is profitable, nearly unpreventable, and hardly ever prosecuted. Some estimates say that nearly ten million Americans each year become victims—and the crime shows no sign of letting up.

Your Evil Twin explores the perfect storm of corporate negligence and credit-starved consumers that has led to this personal financial crisis.  In the book, for the first time, infamous identity thieves reveal their tricks of the trade. Consumers concerned about becoming victims will want to know what the bad guys know.
