Identity Theft

What mistakes did this woman make to have her identity stolen?
       She Used a Debit card instead of a credit card. Which a credit card is a lot more safe when protecting your bank account.

Why do you feel ID Theft is such a common problem these days?
       I feel like it is such a common problem these days because so many people dont think that identity theft can happen to them and they are very stubborn. Also because of the technology that has been invented, such as purchasing items online, can lead to alot more identity theft.

What type of documents or personal belongings would someone have to obtain to steal a person’s identity?
       You would have to steal somones credit card number, address, and your social security.
What are some ideas that you would suggest to someone to protect their identity from being stolen.
       I would suggest using a credit card, being very careful with who gets/sees your information, and dont trust anyone with valuable information.

     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 who is stealing the identity theft because its not always your fault if someone steals your information, like michelle Brown, she never did anything wrong.
