Everyone loves shopping online; you save time and money, and you won’t need to fight for a parking spot in the hectic malls. In America, almost everyone has a computer or at least knows how to operate one. People like the easy way out, and it has its own benefits. As technology grows, things get easier yet risky for everyone. For example, online shoppers need to be aware of where and how they use their important IDs, such as credit or debit cards.
Identity theft is something you can do very little prevent, and you won’t know it’s happened to you until it’s too late. Identity theft is currently the fastest growing type of robbery in the United States. When a person steals and uses’ the victim’s identity without them knowing, it is called “Identity Theft”. Last Monday, the Fed arrested Albert Gonzales for cyber robbery. Federal prosecutors believe Albert Gonzales stole more than 130 million credit card data information making Albert the largest identity scammer.
Hackers' main %26quot;target to steal information%26quot; hot spots are major retail stores and banks. When a scammer steals a person’s personal information the only thing the thief can do is steal money from a credit card or a bank account. Most identification scammers get caught when they try to open a credit card or a bank account, write bad checks, or take out a loan from a bank, while leaving the victim with countless charges and years of bad credit on record. Identity scammers in United States have increased by 22% in 2008 from 2007. In 2008, nearly 10 million American’s identity was stolen.
Identity theft can happen to anyone, and many don’t realize it until they spend their next dollar and the credit card declines. To protect your personal information online, as well as at home, you need to purchase a shredder to shred all documents with personal information before throwing them away. Don’t send mail using unsecured mailbox. Have your social security number changed if it is the same as your driver’s license number. Have a secured internet network. Lastly, have a confined place to keep your important and person information.
Although the work for scammer is hard, only a little information is needed. Some examples are, but not limited to: your birth date, credit card numbers, or a social security number. Some important tips that online shoppers can remember are: limit shopping online and never buy from unknown sites. Always shred all mail before throwing it away, and make sure to check your credit report at least one time a year. If you do all these things to protect your information, people like Albert Gonzales will never be able to steal someone’s information again.
Can someone revise my essay and make any changes needed and try to make it clear from mistakes?
