1. this women did not call the :bank" back and gave her personal information.
ReplyDelete2. this is such a common mistake because people are not informed enough.
3. people would need your social security number and your pin number to begin with.
4. don't carry many credit cards at once and when online paying for something make sure it is encripted.
5. i think it is both people's. the one that is the "victim" needs to wise up on how to handle their credit card and the person that steals it needs to understand that they are ruining peolpes lives.
I dont get how someone can take a debit card from no where this woman just said that she gets it out whenever. How can someone just rember a card number and stuff like that.If someone steals your identity they cannot buy stuff online so if they are in your area they have to go to stores tey cant buy stuff online because they have to put in there the security code and if they dont have it then they cant get stuff. I say always use credit card because there more protected and they if they get stolen and someone starts useing it the bank can give you back almost all the money you lost. why does the government not do anything if 8.3 million people get therer identity stolen the government should make it impossible to steal credit cards and other forms of payment.
ReplyDeleteA mistake this woman made first was always using her debit card. You can never really trust those around you. ID theft can be a pretty common problem these days because even though people know about identity theft they never really think that it could happen to them so they don’t take the precautions to prevent it. I suppose your social security number, bank account number, or even your pin number could all lead to identity theft. Some things that you could do to protect your identity would be not to give any information to anyone by the computer, even if it’s just your email address, and not to throw away any personal information without completely disposing of it. The person to blame would have to be both the person stealing the information and the victim. Those who steal the information really shouldn’t interfere with other peoples hard earned money, but on the other hand the victim shouldn’t be care free about what information the give out.
ReplyDelete1. she used her credit card reguarly and it might hav gone through a fruad machine. 2. with the internet and all the technology out, it is pretty easy for someone to do this. It also is easy for someone to gain access to other things if they can get only one of the important parts of someone's information. 3. To steal someone's identity all they need is a social security number, bank account info, or a credit card number. 4. Use actual money to make your purchases and dont give your information to anyone. also getting fraud alert and other forms of back up will help. Both, the person that stole it in the first place shouldnt have done it; but it is also the the person who didnt have protection or didnt take the precautions.
ReplyDelete1.She used her credit card way to much, and someone could have wrote the number down and made a replica. 2.Because people are not informed enough and do not take as carefull enough percausions as they should. 3. I thiink that someone would need you social security number, credit card number, and i suppose additional bank info. 4.Never share your bank info, or credit card and social security numbers. Also hide the keypad when typing in pin numbers. You should also try to use cash as often as possible and check your bank statment everymonth. 5. Both. I think the vicim needs to be more carefull with what they do and needs to be more alert. I also think the criminal needs to stop what they are doing and get a job. Tony Cononie
ReplyDeleteThe woman was always using her debit card to buy everything. Someone could have hacked it online if she bought things. Identity theft is a common problem because many people are in need of money so they try to get it any way they can which includes identity theft. A person would probably need the other person’s name, birth date, and social security number to steal his or her identity. People should give out their credit/debit card number to anyone or their social security number to anybody to protect them from identity theft. I think the both, the person who is stealing the identity and who the victim is, is at fault because the victim should be responsible and know what to do with their credit card, but also the person who is stealing because they know they shouldn’t be doing it.
ReplyDelete1. She was using her debit card too much for all types or purchses.
ReplyDelete2. I think it is a big problem because most people think it will never happen, so they don't take the steps to prevent identity theft.
3. They would need a person's social security number, and their account numbers to their bak accounts.
4. Being careful when buying stuff online, and make sure you are sure its a safe website.
5. Probably the person who got their identity stolen, because there are steps you can take to have situations like this prevented, but then again anything could happen. And if there weren't people out there that liked to steal from other people, identity theft wouldnt happen.
1. she was using her debit card way to much on what she bough.
ReplyDelete2. I think its a big problem now, because everyone is looking for money. Everyone thinks it wont happen to you until it does.
3. They would need your personal social security number, and their account numbers to their bank account.
4. be careful on what and where you buy stuff online. Also when your using a ATM make sure no one is standing close to you.
5. I think its really both because the person that got their identity stolen they must have not been covering it well. Also the person that stole the identity was being rude and not caring what would happen to that person.

1. She used her debit card way to much.
ReplyDelete2. Because people are to lazy to take the necassary steps to keep your identity safe
3. Social security number and credit card numbers, name and address
4. Just to be careful and watch what you do with your personal information
5. I think the person whos gettiing his or her ID stolen is to blame because it is simple to protect it
1. She used he debit card a lot so therefore the bank thinks its normal.
ReplyDelete2. Because people think its to much work to keep it safe.
3. Social security number and credit card numbers, name and address.
4. Be safe and make sure you always check your statements and bills.
5. I think its the person who got it stolen fault because they could of prevented it unless the person steals it form there purse or wallet then its not there fault.
1. This woman used her credit card for almost everything she bought, which makes it easier for someone to steel her identity.
ReplyDelete2. This is a common problem because people do not take the precautions they should, and they do things like buy things from unsafe websites, which gives thieves a chance to steel their identity.
3. They would need things like your social security number, your credit card number, your birthday, your name, and your address.
4. Make sure when you buy things online that it is a safe site. Also do not give out your credit card numbers or other things that people could use to steel your identity.
5. I think both are to blame because if the victim isn't careful enough it is their fault too. But it is also the thief's fault because they shouldn't be steeling the victim's identity in the first place.
1. She was using here debit card too much.
ReplyDelete2. People are too lazy to protect their identity
3.Social Security number, credit card numbers, name and address.
4. Always keep track of what yor buying.
5.I think they are both to blame. One shouln't steal anothers identity and they should also protect theirs.
1. She was constantly using her debit card no matter the cost of what she was buying.
ReplyDelete2. It's a big problem because most people are unaware that what they are carelessly doing can lead them to be a victim of identity theft.
3. Social security number and credit card number, from this they can get almost all of someone's information.
4. Be careful whenever you are giving out your
credit or social security number.
5. The person whose identity was stolen. They should be aware of all of cautions to make sure their identity isn't stolen.
Well done everyone. As long as you posted by Sunday evening I'll accept your posting. See you Wednesday.
