Every day, millions of Americans lose their hard-earned money to identity theft and other types of scams. Last year alone, 13.1 million Americans were victims of identity theft. That’s one person victimized every two seconds! Protecting your personal information can help reduce your risk of identity theft.
Discard old confidential documents safely and securely at the FREE Shred Day at the Johnston Public Library in Greater Des Moines and in the Cedar Rapids Kernels’ parking lot in Cedar Rapids. Bring up to three boxes of documents (per household). Staples and paperclips are fine, but binders must be removed. No registration is needed. Brought to you in collaboration with our local event organizers - the Johnston Public Library and Money Smart Week Cedar Rapids.
The AARP Fraud Watch Network launched in 2013 as a free resource for people of all ages.
