I believe that internet fraud is a scary matter. People can turn your life and 
everything about it around with only your name and a few numbers. Education on 
fraud is key since hackers get your information from somewhere.

    4.. 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
