identity theft

o   What mistakes did this woman make to have her identity stolen?
she gave out her information a bit too quick. She should have checked to see if she was the proper person to give it to.
o   Why do you feel ID Theft is such a common problem these days?
It can happen to anybody, also there are more ways than ever that can put you at risk.
o   What type of documents or personal belongings would someone have to obtain to steal a person’s identity?
They would need to steal multiple things or just some depending on what acts there going to commit. They could steal a credit card number,your liscence number ,soical secturity number, or just plain out use your name and address.
o   What are some ideas that you would suggest to someone to protect their identity from being stolen.
I would say Ask questions! see if the site and or place is a safe or legititmit place you can trust with your information. Dont give it out if you dont have too.
o   Who do you think is to blame, the person stealing the identity, or the person who is not protecting themselves from identity theft?
 
I would think both in a sense but mostly the person commiting the crime is more at fault for breaking the law doing it.
