You are at serious risk!
Just as some people can steal the private information from the others, they can also steal the personal identified information in various ways including stealing the wallet from the others in order to get the ID card, searching for the papers you have thrown away in the trash bin and so on. With your social security number, your name, your personal information, it’s horrible to consider that you can be easily replaced by another person. He or she can later enjoy your life. At that time he becomes who you are.
They steal your life from you.
When I come to America, I found people using credit card or debit card everywhere. But one thing astonishes me: At most of the time in most places, people just swipe the card and sign their name on the receipt then everything is done with your signature. What will happen if you lost your credit card and someone takes it? What they need is only swipe it and use it! And you will never know what happened until you realized you had lost your card or check your bills online finding something strange. I mean, the easiness to use the card maybe one of the reasons the information can be stolen so easily. We can set up keys for each credit card. Surely it will bring some troubles if someone forgets their keys. However, it is safer because only the owner himself or herself know the keys and no one can easily use them. In the future, when the technology is more developed, the fingerprint identification can be used more in this area instead of personal signature on the receipt because one’s fingerprint is unique.
