Overview/description
This core competency ties to Individual awareness because it is teaching you to what to look out for in the media world. Such as for businesses, ads, game sites and others social sites. This core competency also reminds you to look out for yourself when you are online.

Examples
Thevies are looking at kids for social security numbers even before they have their own bank account. Online businesses are getting your account numbers off of your computer. After businesses have the social security number they sell it in a new name to create bad credit getting people into huge debts that they can't pay off. Investigators have not found a way of punishing the online bankers or businesses. People think the businesses do what they need to at night. Almost 43.4 million people have a credit score of 599 or below. That means that they can't get loans easily. This is how it works; businesses use computers and ads to find the number. They run the numbers through a data base to see if anyone is using it as a credit card. If not they are put up for sale from 100 to a few thousand dollars. People who buy these numbers can build up their rating in a system called "piggybacking" which involves getting into someone else's credit file.
