About this ebook
In this thoroughly revised and updated third edition of his immensely popular guide How to Be Invisible, J.J. Luna shows you how to protect your personal security in a world where new innovations in information gathering have left the average person's private life open to scrutiny and exploitation. Luna, an expert and highly trained security consultant, reveals the shocking secrets that private detectives use to uncover information and then shows how to make a serious commitment to safeguarding yourself.
Using real life stories and his own consulting experience, Luna divulges legal methods to attain the privacy you crave and deserve, whether you want to shield yourself from casual scrutiny or take your life savings and disappear without a trace. You'll learn how to protect your home address, hide your ownership of vehicles and real estate, use pagers with dumbphones, switch to low-profile banking and invisible money transfers, use alternate signatures, and secretly run a home-based business.
This new edition contains step-by-step advice on building and maintaining your personal security, including brand new chapters on the dangers from Facebook, smartphones, facial recognition, locating a nominee you can trust, the art of pretexting (social engineering), moving abroad, the secrets of international privacy, and much more. How to Be Invisible is a critical antidote to the spread of new and more efficient ways of undermining our personal security in an age of eroding privacy.

About the author
In 1959, J. J. (Jack) Luna sold his outdoor advertising business in the Upper Midwest and moved with his wife and small children to Spain's Canary Islands. Outwardly, he was a professional writer and photographer. Secretly, he worked underground in an activity that was at that time illegal under the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Although many of his friends were jailed or deported, Luna was never apprehended.
In 1970 Franco moderated Spain's laws, leaving Luna free to come in from the cold. By that time, however, privacy and secrecy had become ingrained habits. In the years that followed he started up various low-profile one-person businesses, built them up, and then sold them. Since 1999 he's worked-among other things-as an international consultant specializing in personal privacy and security.
