Identity theft is where criminals obtain personal information such as your date of birth, bank account numbers, your mother's maiden name, your pet's name and so on.
These personal details are often used as questions by companies for you to prove who you are over the telephone. So, if the thief can answer these questions there is a good chance they will succeed in impersonating you.
This is bad news, as they could purchase things in your name, take out loans, even take money from your accounts!
John Evans on 24 Jun 14"Interactive Science Glossary: Earth Science and Interactive Science Glossary: Life Science are two fantastic resources for the science classroom. These completely free interactive science glossaries are a great tool for teachers and students. With videos, diagrams and flashcards, you'll find that these apps are great study tools. The tutorials can also be shared with students straight from your device during whole class instruction or for small groups that need extra help."
