36 Strategies to Combat Telephone Cons Detailed in Consumer Safety Guide

Tucson, Ariz. -- Telephone con artists prey on trusting consumers, bilking them out of millions of dollars each year. To help buyers protect themselves from criminal phone solicitors, Truth Publishing has added a new consumer guide to its popular "Real Safety" series. "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" is now available at http://www.truthpublishing.com/RSGIDTheft.html. Written by Mike Adams and Ben Kage, the guide provides effective strategies for thwarting unscrupulous callers who steal money, personal information, and social security numbers.

"It's rare that con artists forcefully take money from people, instead victims willingly give it, thinking that they are going to get something in return," noted Adams. "The aim of this guide is to empower consumers by teaching them to recognize deceptive encounters when they occur and know how to protect themselves."

"The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" explains:
• Why prize offers and travel packages are often a scam
• What laws telemarketers are bound to follow
• How to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft over the phone
• What phone "bill cramming" and "fat-finger dialing" are and how to avoid them
• How to recognize and stop "call splashing"
• And many more helpful tips.

For every sale of "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" Truth Publishing is donating 50% of net proceeds to Tucson Police Foundation. The foundation is a fundraising organization that assists the Tucson Police Department with the purchase of equipment, training, and programs that are not covered in the annual city budget.

The guide is available as a downloadable or softcover book at http://www.truthpublishing.com/RSGIDTheft.html.
