I just have to re-post this article. For full details, please go to DocuCrunch.com.
A criminal was recently arrested after stealing the identities of nearly 100 victims. Where’d she get the information she needed?
A stack of job applications left in a dumpster by an employer.
Ashley Johnson opened several credit cards and racked up more than $60,000 of debt in other people’s names. Police say she found a collection of rejected employment applications in the dumpster behind a Millington, TN, restaurant. The forms contained valuable info, such as names, addresses and SSNs. Her spending spree lasted five months before she was caught by police.
The story provides a reminder for businesses to destroy all documents containing anyone’s personal info.
Also as individuals, please make sure you are protected from Identity Theft. Don't Wait For It To Happen To You. There are many good products out there. My recommendation and personal choice is Kroll's Identity Theft Protection offered through PrePaid Legal. Learn more at www.prepaidlegal.com/IDT/tamcor.
