Help Beat Identity Theft: Free Shredding Events in Tennessee

More than 13 million Americans fell victim to frauds and scams in 2015. That number is expected to rise in 2016.

The most commonly reported crime is identity theft. In fact, every 2 seconds, someone’s identity is stolen. AARP wants to help you avoid becoming a victim of identity theft. We’re hosting a series of special events to help you prevent fraudulent activity, including identity theft. So, we’re offering free document shredding events across the state during August.

All of these events are FREE and open to everyone!
