Narrator Jason Culp’s relaxed pacing and flinty tone are perfect for this advice from the 70-something security expert and former con man who inspired the movie CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. Culp’s mature articulation and confidence sound supportive, even nurturing, as he unfolds the author’s stories, information, and specific suggestions. Abagnale is well versed in the many electronic ways our personal data and money can be stolen, and his prevention strategies are comprehensive. But he makes the useful point that most breaches of our security happen the old-fashioned way: We stop thinking independently because a skillful con man knows how to gain our trust and create enthusiasm for his pitch. Whether it’s telephone cons, physical home security, careless spending, or media exposure, this is the bible on how to prevent a variety of losses. T.W. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
