What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. Some reviewers appreciate the depth of knowledge and experience it offers, along with the good examples. However, others criticize it for containing unrealistic, outdated, and potentially illegal advice. While some feel that the book needs updates for the current year, overall it is considered to be well-written.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Unrealistic, outdated, illegal and damaging advice. It’s irrational to believe any part of this is workable in our day and age of identity theft with laws to protect consumers, creditors and the public from falling victim to scammers who use these tactics in their day to day life of crime let alone someone who wants to use them to hide themselves and their assets .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ahearn and Horan go over the importance of misinformation and disinformation. The authors correctly note that taking on a new identity is seldom fruitful, but if you must have legitimate digital and business needs, alternate names and citizenship are useful for transactions, especially when deciding who you trust is critical to maintaining your security. 4 stars for a decent checklist of areas to consider when taking steps to disappear.
