Step 3: Find a quote about identity theft, or make up your own and place under the two tips you learned. Step 4: Chose a date you plan to start protecting your Identity and share with the class. An Example of a Project should look like this: 1. Avoid sharing personal identification information as much as possible especially when it is not necessary to do so. (TIP 1) 2. Only give your social security number if you must. (TIP 2) 3. "The police can't protect consumers. People need to be more aware and educated about identity theft. You need to be a little bit wiser, a little bit smarter and there's nothing wrong with being skeptical. We live in a time when if you make it easy for someone to steal from you, someone will.
