Identity theft

Methods of identity theft:
  • Phishing: sending e-mails from your bank asking for passwords. In Australia we have lost a lot of money to identity theft in the last 10 years.
  • Phone calls: Calls from your company saying someone has broken into your account and ask for your passwords.
  • steal you wallet which usually has drivers licence, money, credit cards and personal info.
Other methods:
  • Dumpster diving: thieves go through your trash for personal info in e-mails you have deleted
  • Change of address: thieves change your address so all your mail goes to them.
  • Mail theft: Stealing your mail from your front door out of your letter box
  • Overlay: thieves can install things into ATM's so when you insert the card the information is sent straight to them.
Bad things that can happen if your identity is stolen:
  • Thieves can take money out of your accounts and leave you in debt.
  • They can go on a shopping spree with your money
  • They can ruin your reputation for when you are trying to get a job.
  • Give you a bad driving reputation.
Behaviours that can deter thieves from stealing your identity:
  • Not have any accounts or passwords in the first place
  • Cancel credit cards and other things if stolen
  • Get identity theft prevention programs or software protection
  • Protect purse and wallet at all times
  • Monthly check credit card usage
  • Cancel credits you aren't using
  • Shred personal documents

Fakebook and SMS generator

Fakebook

1. Fakebook is like Facebook except fake. It lets you make a false profile that is private. You design everything from posts-comments. Also lets you make a fake SMS between people.

4. You could not use this in any subjects. Unless they require you to use fake Facebook. Maybe in home group to show how to be safe on Facebook. Or in a subject that wants you to make fake SMS's
5. I did not face any troubles. Although there is a lot of adds. I saved it and did not lose my progress like some others did.
