identity theft

Over 60,000 people on SNAP benefits have been affected by the breach

The Texas Attorney General’s Office has released November’s data breach report, detailing incidents that may have exposed personal information.

You would be shocked at how many data breaches occur on a daily basis in Texas.

Sensitive info that could lead to identity theft was grabbed

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.

It's amazing how many documents we have that contain personal information. Information that could destroy our credit and our lives if someone get their hands on a piece of paper with a small amount of personal info. 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. If you have documents you don't need anymor

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.
