Identity theft is a huge concern in these times of technology. People must be
very careful where they submit crucial personal information. i know while
using aol I was tricked into giving my password and someone used my email to
sent out porn and i was kicked off until i called them and cleared it up. I
felt really bad for the people that recieved the emails. You just have to be
careful.

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
