Identity Theft

Identity theft steals who YOU are and who YOU want to be.

A recent national survey of college students found that: Almost ½ of all college students receive credit card applications on a daily or weekly basis.

Almost 1/2 of all college students receive credit card applications on a daily or weekly basis.

Many of these students THROW OUT card applications without destroying them.

Nearly a 1/3 of students rarely, if ever, reconcile their credit card and checking account balances.

Almost 50% of students have had grades posted by Social Security number.

Many of your daily activities expose you to this crime.

Motives for Identity Theft To obtain credit cards To get wireless Internet To get cell phone products and services To obtain loans and mortgages To get a job To commit fraudulent and criminal acts, in YOUR NAME... GUESS WHO’S RESPONSIBLE???

Your address can be an invitation to come into your computer and access your personal information.
