Identity theft occurs when someone wrongfully acquires and uses a consumer's personal identification, credit, or account information without their consent. In 2008, over 300,000 identity theft complaints were filed with the Federal Trade Commission. Identity thieves obtain personal information through methods like stealing wallets and mail, hacking computers, phishing scams, and rummaging through trash to find documents with financial information. They then use the stolen information to make purchases, open new accounts, apply for loans, or commit other fraud. People can reduce their risk of identity theft by shredding documents with personal details, using strong passwords, being wary of phone calls and emails requesting information, and monitoring bank and credit statements for suspicious activity.

This was a presentation by Hewie Poplock on Tuesday, November 15th, 2016 in the Goodwill Manasota (FL) Ranch Lake Community Room, "How to Avoid Identity Theft".
A victim of identity theft himself, Hewie will provide examples of how ID theft can happen as well as suggestions and precautions on how to prevent you and your family from becoming victims of identity theft yourselves. Topics covered included:

The document discusses the growing problem of identity theft in the United States. It defines identity theft and outlines some key statistics, such as over 340 million Americans having their identities stolen since 2005. It also discusses the different types of identity theft, including how thieves can steal identities to gain employment, file taxes, obtain loans and credit cards, or even be arrested for someone else's crimes. Lastly, it provides tips on how to deter, detect, and defend against identity theft by monitoring accounts and reports for fraudulent activity.
This workshop covers identity theft prevention. It defines identity theft and fraud, explains how personal information is commonly stolen through dumpster diving, mail theft, car break-ins, or financial institution fraud. Participants learn to protect themselves by shredding documents, monitoring records, and being wary of sharing information over the phone. Case studies demonstrate mistakes like improper document disposal, carrying all account numbers, and lending cards/PINs. Participants discuss prevention steps and what to do if identity theft occurs, such as checking credit reports for unusual activity.
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey conducted among 558 teens ages 13 to 17 about online privacy, identity theft, and security practices. Some of the main findings include:
- Many teens are concerned about privacy and identity theft online, and concerns have increased over the past year. However, few teens feel personally at risk of identity theft.
- Teens are taking some precautions like using privacy settings, but could do more to protect their private information online.
- Identity theft is a top concern, with over half of teens highly concerned about someone accessing their personal data to commit fraud.
- Over 70% of teens feel it's reasonable to think teens could be victims of identity theft

Identity theft is a crime that affects many people and can have significant negative consequences. It involves a criminal obtaining and using someone's personal information, such as their name, Social Security number, bank or credit card details, without permission to commit fraud or other crimes. Common types of identity theft include drivers license identity theft, social security identity theft, medical identity theft, criminal identity theft, and financial identity theft. Victims often do not know how their information was originally stolen. Criminals may obtain it through lost or stolen wallets or mail, computer hacking, phishing scams, or by working for companies that store personal data.
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It involves stealing someone's personal information like Social Security numbers or credit card numbers to assume their identity and open fraudulent accounts or make purchases. Victims can spend thousands of dollars and many hours resolving the issues. It is important to protect personal information, monitor accounts, and take action if identity theft is suspected. The government provides resources to prevent identity theft and assist victims.
This document discusses identity theft, including what it is, common types, statistics, how it works, techniques used by thieves, warning signs, and ways to protect yourself. Identity theft involves someone pretending to be someone else by stealing personal information like Social Security numbers to access credit and benefits. It can be done through dumping trash for data, hacking, phishing scams, or insider access abuse. People should monitor accounts, use passwords safely, and place fraud alerts on credit reports to protect themselves from identity theft.
There are three main types of identity crimes: identity theft, identity fraud, and account takeover. Identity theft involves stealing someone's personal information. Identity fraud is using stolen or fake identities for ethical or unethical purposes. Account takeover occurs when a fraudster uses someone's identity information like an email to access unauthorized financial or personal accounts. Globalization and technology like hacking, phishing, and spyware have made identity crimes easier to commit from anywhere. Careless behavior and oversharing of information online and in documents discarded without shredding also contribute to identity losses, with a survey finding that every minute sees 19 new victims.
Identity theft occurs when someone steals someone else's personal information like credit card or Social Security numbers and uses it fraudulently. Thieves can get this information in many ways such as stealing mail, hacking computers, or scamming individuals out of their details. To prevent identity theft, people should shred documents with financial information, be careful what information they share online or over the phone, and monitor credit reports and financial statements regularly for any suspicious activity. If someone becomes a victim of identity theft, they should contact creditors to close fraudulent accounts, file a police report, place fraud alerts on credit reports, and contact identity theft assistance organizations.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
