Buyers looking for a quality used car can find helpful tips for avoiding the latest scams in Truth Publishing's new consumer safety guide, "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud." Co-authors Mike Adams and Ben Kage explain how to find accurate car history information, strategies for handling pushy salespeople, and what to know when buying from a private seller. The informative guide is available as a downloadable or softcover book at http://www. truthpublishing. com/RSGIDTheft. html (http://www. truthpublishing. com/RSGIDTheft. html).

"This consumer guide provides smart precautions that even savvy shoppers may not consider when buying a used car from an individual or dealership," said co-author Adams. "We also explain illegal scams that criminals use to trick buyers into purchasing cars that have been stolen or seriously damaged in an accident."

"The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" teaches consumers to recognize "title washers" and "curbsiders" and explains how to avoid becoming a victim of these crimes. The guide also gives tips for negotiating lower prices, describes telltale signs that a car has had repair work, and explains why buying over the Internet can be a bad idea. In addition to used-car scams, "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Identity Theft, Con Artists & Credit Fraud" explains how to recognize telephone crooks, door-to-door cons, deceptive retailers, and identity thieves.

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.
