Listed below are numbers in which you are asked on a daily basis and often give to those who ask, without thinking about it.</p><p>Driver’s License Fax Number Social Security Number Bank Account Number Telephone Number Credit Card Number Address Insurance Numbers</p><p>These numbers can become a road map for marketer’s to make a trail of your purchases, credit rating and general daily choices. Many new technologies that are now being used on-line, such as pay per view, on-line banking, reservations and even personal shopping are a few areas in which we give out our credit card numbers and have no idea it this is secure. </p><p>Here is a list of tips you may want to ask before you give out your numbers :</p><p>- Ask why people want your personal information, question the reason and ask an adult before giving out the information.</p><p>- Only give minimum amount of information required.</p><p>- Ask who else the information is given to. - - Get your name taken off any mailing list that you are receiving item from.</p><p>- Pay with cash whenever possible, this will eliminate circulation of your checking account number and address on your check blanks.</p><p>- Do not give out your social security number unless you required by law to give it out. Please give instances when it is proper to give such information out.</p><p>- The teacher may want to give some scenarios of events that have happened involving children and adults being abducted, kidnapped or killed when too much information has been given out or while meeting someone on the internet.</p><p>This is just the beginning. If you have ever received a student loan, applied for a job, paid taxes, purchased a home, been in trouble with the law or cashed a check, someone out there has the ability to make a trail on you. With this information they have a trail on you, your activity and can have access to your life. Anyone can have access to sophisticated computers, which can access your personal information and use it to forward unwanted photos or images and pass them on to others. If you receive unwanted photos, pornography or images, please call the Cyber Crime hotline at 1-800-843-5678 or your local law enforcement.</p><p>Evaluation</p><p>Students will be able to list all the ways personal information can be obtained from an Internet user and the ways to protect their privacy. </p>
