27、ins to Julie Chen why students are the most likely target for identity theft and what they can do to stop it from happening. Anchor: Here is a warning for college students: you are a prime target for identity thieves. So before you go back to school, there are some things you and your parents need t
28、o know. Financial author and radio host Dave Ramsey is here to explain. Good morning, Dave. Dave Ramsey: Good morning.Anchor: I wanna begin by reading a letter that you got from one of your listeners, cause it really illustrates the problem. This listener wrote: My third day at college, I applied fo
29、r several credit cards on campus, five years later I found out that all of my personal information was posted on a website. I had cars bought in my name, and credit accounts across the country. A college student who ran one of the credit card booths was responsible for posting my information. Even t
30、hough I now have a new social security number, I constantly have to monitor my credit reports. I have had to explain all this to employers that run a background check on me.

31、len? Dave Ramsey: More likely than any other age group, sadly thats the No 1 age group for identity theft. And identity theft as we all know is a big deal on America right now. But this 1829 age group the Federal Trade Commission says is the No 1 area, and of that group, the college agers, wow,the b
32、iggest group.Anchor: There are three main reasons you say. The first one being that college age students are naive. 6Dave Ramsey: We are so trusting. Sign up for five credit cards makes me look like an adult. Never thinking about that, all this information is just being scarfed and something is goin
33、g to happen to it. You have to be a little bit cynical to avoid identity theft. You have to be a little bit paranoid. A healthy level of paranoid is good and those of us sort of being beaten up a little bit older we kind of know that.Anchor: The second reason you say is because college age students
34、get all those free offers in the mail for credit cards. Dave Ramsey: Well, they do, and they are dangerous, not only like that particular letter a lot of writers found, but also there up to 50 percent of them are getting one to six offers a week. And so youve got to dispose of these things properly.
35、 They just lay around in a pot with your junk mail. Someone comes along, picks that thing up, fills it out for you, using your name but someone elses address. Now weve got a mess on our hands.Anchor: And the third reason is you say that typically students dont examine their financial records. Dave R
36、amsey: Yeah,here is an idea, balance your checkbook. And here is an idea, pull your credit bureau report. These arent things I thought of when I was in college. But now you have to, in the environment that we live in today youve got to take a little bit of precaution. You gotta watch what you are do
37、ing. But if youre balancing your checkbook, youre opening your mail, youre looking at whats going on, you discover it.
