Identity Theft!

Friday 20th November 2015

Today Rachel came again but this time she taught us about Identity Theft. First she talked about what type of Identification is Government issued and what is Non-Government issued. Then she gave us a piece of paper that has different types of identification and we were supposed  to put a "x" where we think it goes under. After that she warned us on how we could get Identity Theft. And told us the dangers of sharing personal information about ourselves.

She said that you should never say when your going on holiday on social media because people will know your not at home and people will steal your stuff. Also she said that people can steal your personal information from on line shopping company's. When you get letters don't just throw them in the bin because someone could find them and pretend to be them.

When your old credit card expire you need to cut up your card or burn it because it still has important information. Also if your credit card ever got stolen you can tell your bank to cancel your cards because it's been stolen so that the person who stole it can't use it. It was really fact and then she left.
