In the era of identity theft, it's more important than ever to be mindful of which documents you throw in the trash.
Every two second’s someone’s identity is stolen. Last year, 16.7 million Americans were victimized by identity fraud. Shredding sensitive documents that you no longer need is one way to protect yourself, and the AARP Fraud Watch Network is here to help you make that happen.
Tax season is a good time to get rid of unwanted documents to keep scammers from stealing your identity and money. AARP Louisiana offers two free shredding events next month.
