identity theft

You can never be too careful with your information. I mean you have to make sure all of your personal info is just where you can find it. I am talking about the important stuff that the bad guys can use to wreak havoc on your life.

We can never be too safe. We have to be a society that pretty much questions everything. I hate that we can't be trusting and that we can't just know that any email, phone call, text or letter can't be legitimate.

Amarillo Crime Stoppers have announced their annual document shredding day and it could not come at a better time.

Identity Theft is a real thing and people will do anything to get a hold of your personal information. Since tax season is ending, a ton of personal information is available. When it comes to disposing of old information you don't just want to throw it in the trash. People do comb through the trash looking for this information.

Don't let someone steal your identity because you threw sensitive information in the trash.  If you have sensitive documents you need to get rid of but don't have time to shred it yourself, then Amarillo Crime Stoppers and Student Crime Stoppers want to help you out.

Identity theft is real and if your identity is stolen it can wreak havoc on your life.  It is a nightmare to get everything straightened out.  That's why you need to keep your personal information safe and the documents you don't need anymore you need to have shredded.  Don't miss out on a great opportunity to have those documents shredded for free.

One of the ways crooks steal your identity is through rummaging through your documents and getting personal information off of them. What about those annoying credit card applications you always get?  They can use them too.  The Amarillo Crime Stoppers and Student Crime Stoppers are holding a "Shred It" day this Saturday to help you get rid of all those documents.

If you have had your identity stolen you know the havoc it wreaks on your life and you know how difficult it is to get your credit cleaned up.  That's why the Amarillo Police Department and the Better Business Bureau are teaming up for Secure your ID day.

The Federal Trade Commission says robo-calls are the number one consumer complaint they receive, and these types of calls are on the rise. Experts warn that this kind of call is an early step in a phone fraud scheme that can lead to identity theft. Here's how it works.

When it comes to sensitive documents do you hoard them.  Do you have a ton of old bills, documents with your personal information, things that you need to have destroyed but it has all become overwhelming?  If that is the case then mark your calendars for Shred it Day!
