Identity Theft. From my perspective, identity theft is wrong. If a person steals their identity, their also stealing their money, home, clothes, food, everything. It should not be taken lightly. A person in someone elses identity can do whatever they please and the other person has to pay the price. It is not normal and the theif should face serious crimes.

Activity 4. Identity theft is wrong. What i would do to protect myself from identity theft is to not give away personal information to anyone that i am unsure of, security on my computer and other appliances, don't give my PIN number to anyone and sheild my PIN when i swipe my card, secure my debt cards in a secure place, and shred old files. The first step i would take in securing my identity is to make sure i lock my house before i leave, and shred my mail. Then i would make sure my credit cards were in a secure place and no one knows my pin. After that i would secure my information on my computer and get virus control. And make sure i don't give personal information to anyone i don't know. []

Activity 5. Theives are after money i think. With money you can buy stuff you need. They target children and young teens because they are most likely to leave a flaw, and identity theft can take place.
