Real Estate Fraud Can Be A Family Affair

August 9, 2004 -- Sydney Newman Dotson's debut book, "No Greater Deception, A True Texas Story," skyrocketed to #1 on the Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com Top 10 True Crime Biography Bestseller Lists for the fourth month in a row.

In "No Greater Deception, A True Texas Story, Dotson's stepmother forges several family members' wills, insurance policies, pension plans, checks, deeds, titles, applications, account cards and beneficiary change forms to gain access of her relatives' assets, real estate, mineral rights, stocks, CDs, bonds and safe deposit boxes. The stepmother is also implicated in the mysterious deaths of her father, husband and only brother.

Barnes & Noble and Borders Bookstores were not prepared to meet the demand for this tell-all book written by a local Galveston County deputy sheriff's daughter. Customers were often told the book is "not in stock" or "not available."

Dotson's book is available on over 100 websites across the world including Barnes & Noble.com and Amazon.com.

"I refuse to be a victim of identity theft by my stepmother. I'm a survivor", says the author. "You can ruin my credit, but don't steal my inheritance. I hope sharing my story with others will help prevent future identity thefts, forgeries and fraud across the country."

"Did you know that 95% of all identity thefts are performed by family members on family members? Did you know that anyone can purchase a notary seal at an office supply store today? It's very easy to create a second signature for a family member and then forge their will, insurance policies or any document linked to an asset. Most of the forgeries were accomplished through the U.S. Mail," says Dotson.

"It's a real-life Texas Soap Opera of Love, Death, Betrayal and Justice," says Liz Carpenter, author and Lady Bird Johnson's WHITE HOUSE Press Secretary.

Dotson has been seen on The NBC Today Show and PBS. She's currently speaking on radio station Talk Shows as an Identity Theft Expert. Detectives, profilers and handwriting experts are using her book as a textbook case study on identity theft and the criminal mind of a Black Widow forger.
