Identity theft

Identity theft is when someone steals information from you and uses it to their advantage. There are many types of identity theft from credit card, to driver licenses, to bank information. Many people are at risk for this issue, especially older adults. They are not aware of how easy it can be for someone to steal information form them. One main trick used by thieves are the credit card scanner chips. They will get installed into gas tank machines and whenever someone scans a card, the info gets stolen and stored. Awareness needs to come to this topic; getting your social security number stolen could potentially ruin your life. Your credit could go down or accounts could be opened up in your name and have millions spent.
