Questions** 1. From your perspective, what is the potential impact of identity theft?
 * Activity Three
 * //In my perspective, the potential impact of identity theft can be very very dangerous. The reason why I think it can be dangerous is because people are able to steel someone identity without the person knowing. This could cause complication for the person whose identity was stolen because they may not know that their identity was stolen. With the person not knowing this, the person will not be able to use their credit cards and other things because the people will say that someone already has that card or something along those lines. Identity theft can get out of hand if not responded to right away. The person who no longer has an identity will eventually become a nobody and problems could arise for them.//**

Questions** 1. ​As a result of your research, what steps would you take to protect yourself against identity theft**//?//**

 * //Steps that I would take to protect myself against identity theft are: Guard your personal documents and personal information; only carry information that you actually need, be carful about sharing personal information, have anit-viruses on your computer, do not send personal information over an e-mail, when shopping online make sure the website is real and realiable, and when using debit and credit cards never give out your pin number.//

Acitivity Five Questions** 1. What is it that identity thieves are after? Why do they target young children and teens?
 * //Identity thieves are after peoples money because they take peoples identity which then they get all of their money. They take their credit cards and all other information and eventually become another person. They target young children and teens because young children and teens are more likely to fall for the tricks that the thieves play on them. Also, the kids may not think of what they are doing is bad. They may give out personal information and not realize what they are doing until it is too late. Children also do not have any credit.//**
