What i've Learned About Identity Theft

What i have learned about Identity Theft, is that you should never give your information to a person you don't know. For instance, Michelle Brown's story on how her Identity got stolen. Michelle brown was getting out a loan to buy the house of her dreams. she went and turned her papers in to the secretary.  That was a big mistake. The secretary took copies of her credit card numbers and used it to buy things she didn't have, but yet what Michelle had. She bought the same car as Michelle, same clothing, she even got liposuction so she could have the same thighs as Michelle. This is why you shouldn't trust people you don't know with your information. They could end up stealing your identity.
Also, don't throw information away that you think isn't important. People who are looking for identity's may stoop to the lowest level by looking through trash. They could end up with your information and steal it. Best way to dispose of anything that has your information on it, is to shred it.
If, you buy something online, make sure that your on a secure website. People do make scam sites just so that can get any information that they can steal from you.
This is what I've learned about ho to avoid identity theft. I hope you can use my methods so your identity doesn't get stolen.

Christmas Break

This Christmas break, I spent the entire time with my friends and family. Every Christmas we throw a party at my house with my aunts, uncles and grandparents. They usually bring presents for all the little kids. Then after we open presents, we usually eat. Every year my aunt makes the best corn bread! I have to say, that's my favorite holiday dish. Then we sit around and talk about random things. But this year it was a little different. They didn't stay as long as they usually did on the holidays. The holidays haven't really been the same ever since my nanny, great grandma, and cousin josh have died. Hopefully things get back to the way they were. But overall, I had a good christams break!
