Question 2 • FL-2102373-Personal Finance and Money Management Honors
Louis was excited that he got his driver’s license and posted a picture of himself with his license on his social media accounts. Within days, he noticed money missing from his bank account and charges made to his credit card.What should Louis have done differently to avoid being a victim of identity theft?
Answer
A
Louis should have posted to only one of his social media accounts.
B
Louis should have taken the picture and sent it to his friends by text and email.
C
Louis should have had a motor vehicle employee in the picture as well to make the photo more official.
D
Louis should have posted a picture of himself in front of the testing center without showing his license.
Explanation
A driver’s license contains sensitive personal information that can be used to impersonate someone or commit financial fraud. Louis should have avoided showing the license in a public post; a photo in front of the testing center without the license, choice D, would share his achievement without exposing that information. Posting it on fewer accounts or sending it privately would still risk revealing the license.
