Shred360 and The Better Business Bureau Team Up For ‘Secure You ID Day’

Fifty-six percent* of identity theft victims that could trace the source of the theft ultimately learned that thieves took something that was in their own possession. So the first rule of identity protection is: If you don’t need it, destroy it – responsibly. The Better Business Bureau is here to help.
