E-Signatures and Identity Theft
The advent of the "e" world compelled a lot of things to have their own digital counterparts like e-commerce which is the digital counterpart of the country's economy; e-mail the digital counterpart of the ordinary sent via local post offices; e-shopping the digital counterpart of a woman's best friend; and e-signatures the digital counterpart of our own signatures.

What type of consumer protection should the government have in place concerning credit cards?
Jacquot- Un chat furieux asked:
It seems to me like the interest rates that they charge are absolutely unbelievable. Especially when they slip it past someone on page 28 of their “rights” package.
It seems to me like the interest rates that they charge are absolutely unbelievable. Especially when they slip it past someone on page 28 of their “rights” package.
However, I wonder about the public’s lack of financial education and how much responsibilty a person has to take for their own actions.
I’m taking an economics course now and it seems like, when reading the basics of capitalism, that a lot of it really seems to depend on consumer’s being rather, frankly, dumb.
Does the Government have a place in “protecting” people, or is this really an example of “buyer beware”?

When did fraud start becoming identity theft and why?
Chris asked:
I have been thinking about this a lot and was wondering why if someone commits fraud against an organisation(in the context of banking or credit card companies) is it seen as identity theft. The inmplication is, I assume, that it is the individuals responsibility and not the organisations.
