ALTON — State Rep. Dan Beiser (D-Alton) recently partnered with state Sen. Bill Haine (D-Alton) and the Rotary of the Riverbend to host a free Community Shred Day.
“With the constant development of new scams by identity thieves, it is becoming harder and harder to protect yourself from identity fraud,” Beiser said. “Shredding old documents that contain personal information is a quick and easy way to help protect yourself. I am happy that I was able to help provide such an important resource to the community.”
Many identity thieves obtain personal information by rummaging through garbage, so shredding old documents is one step to prevent identity theft. If you believe that your personal or financial information has been compromised, call the Office of the Attorney General’s Identity Fraud Hotline at (866) 999-5630.
