We've all heard the saying, "all good things must end." And so it is with the Weekend Scam Recap. I think that we're all aware that scams are everywhere and we need to have our guard up all the time. So, I think that the WSR is rehashing information that we don't necessarily need.

Instead, I'm going to use the Monday post to let you know about something important or interesting. Or even to answer a question that a reader might have. And of course, if you have suggestions for what you would like to see in the blog or on the site, please email me. I'm here to help you. So, let me know what you want to see.

I'm always talking to people about identity theft. And several times a week, I hear someone say they've given their information out to a bogus web site. It happens to nearly everyone, at least one time.

Today, I've been messaging with someone in the forum who had their identity compromised. And I've also shared emails with two different people who are facing the same issues. These are people just like you and I.

After an attack, however, these people feel ashamed or embarrassed that they've allowed their information to be compromised. You shouldn't be. Even experts sometimes fall for these scams. Really. One ex-FBI agent I know and work with once in a while has been compromised. I've been compromised, and scores of other experts have. It can happen to anyone. All the more reason to be on guard.

What age group do you think is most targeted for identity theft? Most people think that it's those who fall between the ages of 30 and 50 because they're actively working and building credit. But it's not.

The most targeted group for identity theft is actually students aged 18-29. Students. Because students often don't know enough about the threat of identity theft to know to protect themselves.

If you're a student, beware. There's an identity theft standing behind you just waiting for the chance to nab your personal information. Learn more about student identity theft and how to protect yourself.

It was a quiet weekend on the identity theft front. That doesn't mean there's nothing happening, just nothing new in the news. That's okay, though. A scam that was announced during the later part of last week was enough to create a pretty loud uproar over the weekend

The scam, which targeted Apple's MobileMe users was a typical phishing scam, only better presented than many that make the rounds on the net. This phishing scam hit MobileMe users, telling them that there was a billing error they needed to attend to. It was well written, and well executed, and it faked out hundreds of people.

Every new technology is a new opportunity for phishers to target unsuspecting users. And phishers are getting smarter, so you should, too. Learn how to spot a phishing scam.
