  • Buy if you don't want your money and identity stolen. If that doesn't matter to you, don't.

    No one wants to be ripped off! And if you use a debit card, you BETTER read this if you don't want an empty bank account. NEVER USE A DEBIT CARD! This book explains why, and don't you think Mr. Abignale should know? He certainly would never use one.
