This woman made the mistake of using her debit card to frequently because she thought it was safer.Its a problem these days because people are getting smarter with technology and more people use credit cards. You would have to acquire the social security number and all there addresses. Rarely use credit or debit cards and never gi9ve out person info. I think they both are to blame because they both did dumb stuff

1. She gave out her social security number without checking if the person was from the bank or not.
ReplyDelete2. I think that ID theft is so common because we trust a lot of people and we're in a recession, so people will steal other's identity.
3. o steal a person's identity, they just have to have their social security number and credit card numbers.
4. I would suggest keeping your numbers private unless it's an official person.
5. I think it is a bit of both people at fault.
Never use credit cards.

1. This lady had her identity stolen because she used her debit card to much.
ReplyDelete2.ID Theft is to common these days because people give out their card number to much and aren't as protective as they could be. 3.Someone would have to find a document with personal information like their credit card number, drivers lisence, etc.
4.Try not to give out personal information when not needed too.
5. I think its the person not protecting their information, because if they would of been protected, it wouldn't of happened.

1. The biggest mistake this woman made was using a debit card.
ReplyDelete2. ID theft is so common because it is so easy, and I dont think that you get in that much trouble if you do steal someone's identity.
3. Some things that someone would need to steal an indentity are your social security number, a credit or debit card with your name.
4. Something I would tell people to help them not get their identity stolen is to not give out any personal information, keep all your passwords and security numbers a secret or kept safe.
5. I think that they are both to blame the person stealling is a little more to blame but the person who got their identity stolen apparently didn't protect thier identity so well.
1. She used her debit card for most purchases.
ReplyDelete2. Because not many people know how to protect themselves.
3. Credit cards, phone call questions, address, phone number
4. Check credit score every other month
5. I think both, there is a reason that there are laws against identity theft, but people who are not protecting themselves are also to blame because there are things you can do to protect yourself.
1. What mistakes did this woman make to have her identity stolen?
ReplyDelete• She had used her debit card to buy many small things.
2. Why do you feel ID Theft is such a common problem these days
• Because so many people are using credit and debit cards and have computers with private information on them
3. What type of documents or personal belongings would someone have to obtain to steal a person’s identity
• Name, Credit number, social security number, address, D.O.B.
4. What are some ideas that you would suggest to someone to protect their identity from being stolen.
• Constantly check your credit score, and watch what you buy with credit or debit cards
5. Who do you think is to blame, the person stealing the identity, or the person who is not protecting themselves from identity theft?
• The person stealing the identity, because it’s still stealing and, would they think it’s ok to steal someone’s ID if it was theirs?
1. She only used her debit card
ReplyDelete2. People are greedy and want everyone's money because they dont have any for themself.
3. Birth certificate, driver's licence, phone number, bank account number, and social security number.
4. Don't give out any personal information, and do not use credit or debit cards too often use cash as much as you can.

1) This woman used her debit card way to much.
ReplyDelete2)In these tough times not many people have money so its easier to use someone elses than find your own.
3)Someone could use your name, address, credit card number, social security number and more.
4)I would suggest that people check there card and credit information regularly.
5)You can try your hardest to protect yourself from a lot of things but they can still happen. So its mostly the person who did the wrong doings fault. But she could have tried harder to protect herself from such things\

The mistakes she made were she only used her debit card. This is unsafe because it makes it easier for others to get a hold of your numbers. I feel id theft id so common because of our economy. So many people are out of work and need money and this might be the only option they see. Some personal belongings that people would steel would be important documents such as bank loans or blank checks. Some ways to save your identity is to check your bank account monthly and to be aware of what you buy and what you buy it with. In my opinion they both are a little to blame. Yes that person should do a little more to protect themselves but also what’s that guy doing in their business? Either way we all should be more careful.

1. she used her debit card too much
ReplyDelete2. Its a lot easier and everyone has debit/Credit cards.
3. Social sercutity number, credit card numbers, bank pins, Stuff like that
4. shread stuff your about to throw away with information about you on it.
5. The person stealing it. Its both their faults, but because he is causing the damage, it's his fault
1. The lady's frequent use of her debit card caused her to have her identity stolen. As it turns out, it's more risky to use your debit card than your credit card when it comes to identity theft.
ReplyDelete2.Identity theft is such a common problem these days because between hacking, dumpster diving, lying, and stupidity, it's not hard for people to steal one another's information. Also since people have always wanted to take the easy way out, they just figure it's easy to steal than to work.
3. Credit card, debit card, and social security card are probably all thats needed to get started. Other things would be bank statements, credit card statments, tax info, and pay stubs.
4. Don't give away your bank password, credit card number, social security number, and other important info to anyone over the phone, even if they say ther're an agency or bussines (ex. bank, IRS). Don't carry too many credit cards, debit cards, or other personal info around with you in your wallet. Don't use your debit card too much. Change your credit card number every couple of years. Check your bank statements and credit reports often.
5. Obviously the person stealing the information is at fault. There is absolutely no doubt at all about that. However, that dosn't mean the victim shouldn't have been careful about his personal info.
I completely dissagree with Katie Holt's answer on question 5. It's almostt completely the fault of the theif.
1. She gave out her social security number without checking if the person was from the bank or not.
ReplyDelete2. Its a lot easier and everyone has debit/Credit cards.
3. Credit cards, phone call questions, address, phone number
4. Dont give out personal info to people over the phone or anywhere. keep all your numbers safe.
5. I think its the person not protecting their information, because if they would of been protected, it wouldn't of happened.
