Identity Theft .

A mistake the girl made was that she used her debit card for everything. They say credit cards are safer then debit cards. I think identity theft is such a common problem now because everybody is hurting for money, so stealing someone else’s name and money would just be easier. You can just use other people’s money with no cost to you. Some personal belongings that someone would have to steal your identity would be your social security card, your credit card number, address, id, ect. Some ideas to protect your identity would be to keep all credit cards and debit cards close at hand. Call your banks once every week or two to see if any activity that you didn’t was done. Don’t give out your personal information to anyone you don’t completely trust, and even then things could happen, so just be careful. Never give out personal information over the phone.
