There are many ways, but one is that you see a pop-up, and it looks like it is for a coupon or to scan your computer for viruses. So you click on it, and you are unknowingly letting them download your personal info.

These identity thieves have devised quite a wardrobe of methods to steal personal information in recent times. Below are some ways that have been clearly identified by law enforcement agencies on cyber crime:

  • Some fraudsters lay hands on your trash and may find personal information squeezed into a ball in there. You should always put such papers in pieces before disposing them in the garbage.
  • Some fraudsters are like defenders in soccer, the "close mark" you everywhere you go, until you spill some sort of lead to your personal information.
  • A new run is these fraudsters pretending to be a representative from the organization you transact with/through. This way, they explain to you how one or two incidents requires urgent safety of your belongings and they would need your information immediately to add you to the other clients who are safe right now, thanks to their cooperation.
  • More technological scammers are now creating devices and spy tools that can store your personal information after you use them on an interface (commonly online).
  • Hacking into your email box - this is a very devastating move as somehow, a lot of our personal information are stored in our electronic mailbox.

· Some fraudsters even coalesce with your co-workers, staff of organizations that have your identity details to obtain your personal information, promising them a share of the stolen possessions. So, you must be careful at least with the people you work with daily. And slow typists often fall victim of direct copying of their private information. So you might want to improve on that 10WPM you currently feel comfortable with, before you pay unwillingly for such a pace in today's cyber world.

· Sending malicious internet tools that force you to change your password. As you take the measures to change this personal information, they use spy tools to get the new details you have chosen and use it to their disposal.

  • Another new one is by posting jobs for people to submit their "detailed" resume. And then, they make do with some information gathered to either get access to more personal stuff or work directly with them.
