Online shopping is a very convenient way to find things that are not in stores. My mom buys stuff online all the time like Christmas presents, clothes, shoes, birthday presents, etc., but there is a danger to this. Billions of people buy stuff from the Internet every day, and give there identity away to strangers. How do you really know that the company that you are buying from can keep your credit card number, your name, address, phone number, and many other vital information safe from other people just looking for trouble. You have to be careful with buying things from a company that you have no idea about. Before you buy something you should do some research on it and see if they are okay. Some people are so clueless to think that someone on the other side could possibly steal there identity that they give everything away. Another dangerous way to give away your identity is by giving it away when you are talking to someone online. You have to make sure that you know exactly who it is before giving them your name or anything. I think the Internet is a great place to buy things from, and communicate, but if you aren't careful you may a victim of a serious identity theft problem, which unfortunately is a popular thing that is happening daily.
