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.
