IDENTIFY THEFT
by Johnny May |
 Identity Theft is just one of the subjects Johnny May, writer, teacher, and security expert is current on.
He has lectured extensively on security and crime prevention topics and is
regularly cited by the media as a leading authority. He has appeared on “NBC
Nightly News” with Tom Brokaw, A&E Open Book, Comcast Newsmakers and scores of
other television and radio shows.
He also writes a very thorough review, and did so some years ago for us, for our
PI Training Course,
Secrets of Top Private Eyes
and for
Security Magazine.
Here’s a link to the most complete Identity Theft information we’ve yet seen:

TIPS & TRICKS
How to Pin Down Your Subject |
 You will need to know how the system works to be effective. First, know how
the databases are indexed. Public records are generally indexed by NAME.
Some records searches, like Criminal Records Searches, require NAME and DOB, or at least YOB.
Proprietary databases require the SSN for some searches, like Credit Header searches,
to verify a person's identification, and Trace Detail Searches to compile address history,
possible associates and relatives. Also for confirming vehicle ownership, bankruptcies,
liens and judgments.
