CITW 150 L3 Q5
    1.  Select on of the societal Issues and respond to it in a  substantial 
paragraph, containing at least one link to another site that  supports your 
opinion.
The Internet Societal issue that concerns me the  most is Internet Fraud.  As 
time  goes on I hear more consumer specific Internet Fraud cases.  This is 
very scary because Internet  Fraud involves Credit Cards, Social Security 
numbers, and much more.  .  I believe that Internet Fraud is on the rise 
because 
more people are  using the Internet to do banking, shopping, and more.  
I found supporting documentation of my claim on a  document called the US 
Attorneys Bulletin: The Rising Tide of Internet  Fraud.  To see some more 
specific  examples how reported Internet Fraud Cases have dramatically grown
