Invisible Privacy | Online Privacy

The first known safe house in history was one used by two Israelite spies. They hid themselves in the house of Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho. (Joshua 1:21 – 2:24)

The term “safe house” is often seen in spy novels and in movies such as “Mission Impossible.” However, a safe house can be used by anyone, including you and me. If you have any money to invest, now is a great time to buy a vacation-type property that can serve not only as a weekend retreat but as a safe house for unexpected dangers in the future. (I currently own more such safe houses than I need. If any of you readers might be interested, I have one available which includes 1000 feet of river frontage and a private island in Washington’s Skagit River.)

The ideal safe house will be owned by a New Mexico LLC with a PO Box address in a faraway state. Nothing, nothing should connect you to this property. Even if you never need it yourself, perhaps a brother, sister, son or daughter may someday be able to use it as a refuge while they sort out a temporary emergency.

Ten years from now, who knows what prices vacation properties may bring? Especially if your safe house is on an island or on the bank of a scenic river.

However, if you prefer not to purchase property at the present time, low-cost alternatives are available. These are dealt with in my e-book OFF THE GRID: Living or traveling in a van, truck, or converted cargo trailer.

The absolute best way to hide your identity and protect your privacy is to use a nominee. A nominee is someone who acts on your behalf. For example:

1. To hide your identity with a bank, you have nominee Sally open a bank account under her own name, using her SSN but giving the bank your ghost address along with an untraceable phone number. She then signs a stack of checks and gives them all to you. From that moment on, you have total control of the bank account and can use it to mail in deposits and write checks. In fact, the bank can be in some state across the country from where you really live.

2. To hide your identity when renting a storage unit, you have nominee Ricardo rent the unit in the name of a New Mexico LLC. Ricardo signs the contract as owner of the company. He then gives you the key to the unit along with a bill of sale showing he sold the LLC to you. (Date this bill of sale sometime after the rental date.)

3. To hide your identity when ordering cable television, use nominee Pedro when you call in the order. Have Pedro on hand when the installer comes. He will be the one who signs the contract. You will have thus hidden your identity from PIs who often start any search with an informant inside the local cable company!

In my book How to be Invisible, there is a complete chapter on the use of nominees. Other chapters deal with ghost addresses and LLCs from New Mexico. To encourage you to order this book, I am making the following offer, valid until December 31, 2009.

IN ADDITION, I will also offer you serious discounts on both New Mexico LLCs, and ghost addresses in Canada, Alaska or Spain. These discounts will be valid until December 31, 2009. You may end up saving over $200, and all for the price of a book you should buy anyway, even without the incentives!
