I'd like to meet:
Music:
Welcome to Identity Theft, Incorporated. My name’s Hastings; I’m the chairman of the dishonest board here. If my corporation were in fact above board and actually traded legitimately on the world’s financial markets, I couldn’t tell you that IDT, Inc. would make Fortune’s list of top 500 companies, but we are bigger than you'd realize...
IDENTITY THEFT IS THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY
Just ask Frank Abagnale of Catch Me If You Can fame: he says so in that book. So here, then, is the true-crime book of this century. This is the first book on the subject from the inside, told by someone who’s assumed hundreds of identities and become rich off it. Not only do I - "Glenn Hastings" - reveal how ID theft is done, I tell loads of wildly unbelievable but true stories about my impersonations as they led to riches. Some of them are as funny and outrageous as they are amazing.
At the same time people should know how to protect themselves from the gangs of ID thieves thriving in the real and virtual worlds of today, and as I explain in the foreword to the book, I am writing this book to repent for my crimes. While committing them, I failed to take into account the damage they caused my victims. If I had continued on my massive trail of ID and credit fraud, I could have conceivably made a billion dollars. But enough was enough; ultimately the right thing had to be done.
