Play these Fun Online Identity Theft Games!
ID Theft Face Off
In this clever game, evil identity thieves steal your character's face. As you proceed through the game's questions, working toward identity recovery, you get to recover your facial features. Now, there's some serious incentive!
If that happened in real life, you could be sure that people would jump right in and fix identity theft right away, instead of letting it slide or misinterpreting what it means, as so many people do.
The Case of the Cyber Criminal
Another Fun Online Game!
This game focuses on the growing problem of online info-theft. You face a dastardly group of computer hackers, and have to answer specific questions to block their actions and thus protect your identity.
This one's a bit harder than the Face Off game, and you have to answer all of the questions right to stop each of seven hackers in his or her tracks. When you get an answer right, you get to remove a cool piece of spy gear from a briefcase: a covert camera, surveillance specs, spy tie, etc.
Once you've emptied the briefcase, you're home free. Miss even one question, though, and you've left the losers with a tool they can use to keep coming at you. No worries, though: the answers tend to be logical, and if you miss one, you'll get a nice explanation to help you out next time you play.
