Wow! That was a great seminar, wasn’t it?It sure was. I learned so much! What was your favourite part?
Hmmmmmm …… I think it was the part about the importance of being careful with our personal information.
So true. We really must be so careful with our documents.No kidding. We sure don’t want to become a victim of identity theft or identity fraud.
Hey! I had to step out during the part where the speaker was discussing the difference between identity theft and identity fraud. Can you fill me in on that?Sure. Identity theft is when someone steals your personal information. Identity fraud is when they actually use that information.
Got it. That makes sense. We really need to be careful!Absolutely. We must not be careless with our personal information, and we must monitor our financial records on a regular basis.

Another point I heard that was so interesting was when he pointed out was that a financial institution would never call us to get our personal information.True. They already have all kinds of information about us, so they don’t need to call us for it. If your “bank” calls you for your birthdate, you can be sure it’s fraud!
Yes. One thing I learned is that I really need to collect my mail everyday. You know, sometimes I go away for days at a time without worrying about my mail sitting in the mail box. From now on I will be sure to have a neighbour collect it for me.Great idea. You sure don’t want to become a victim of mail theft.
Anyway, I have to go and check my credit report!
Ok, I’ll see you later!

problem• What can be done to prevent identity

Case Study One:Miguel and his family are moving to a
new house. They have many personal financial documents which they feel they no longer need. Miguel’s wife asks what they should do with the documents. Miguel suggests tearing them up and throwing them into the garbage.
Case Study Two:Samantha keeps all her pin numbers in
her wallet. She has so many credit cards she cannot remember all the numbers.
Case Study Three:Su Jie’s “bank” called to confirm her
address and bank account numbers. Su Jie felt comfortable giving her account number over the phone because the caller seemed to already know a lot about her. She assumed it really was a lady from the bank.
Case Study Four:Bob and Diane always had a good
credit rating. One day they decided to apply for a small loan for a car. They were surprised when they got a call from the bank informing them that their application was declined.
Case Study Five:Kamaljit and Vera are very good
