How can we stop Identity Theft?

Technically, I won't say it will be a debate but a general discussion.

But anyways, carry on.

 

I really have nothing online except this IF account and an official yahoo one. Somehow I am finding smartphones scary too... call me a cynic, I have gone back to using a basic model of cell phone with no internet/camera/etc in it. And, I dont think I'll ever do any transactions online, AT ALL... I'd rather go stand for hours in a que to pay my bills, but, I simply find the internet very insecure.

 

I always have an unkown fear when my father does transactions through internet. I cannot exactly explain the reason for this fear... anyways.

 

My feeling is that internet/opening accounts(of any sort) is a highly insecure indulgence.

 

They then use the info to make purchases.

 

Best not to use or carry too many cards, so that we can monitor and control the expenditure.
