identity theft

Over 60,000 people on SNAP benefits have been affected by the breach

The Texas Attorney General’s Office has released November’s data breach report, detailing incidents that may have exposed personal information.

You would be shocked at how many data breaches occur on a daily basis in Texas.

Sensitive info that could lead to identity theft was grabbed

You can never be too careful with your information. I mean you have to make sure all of your personal info is just where you can find it. I am talking about the important stuff that the bad guys can use to wreak havoc on your life.

We can never be too safe. We have to be a society that pretty much questions everything. I hate that we can't be trusting and that we can't just know that any email, phone call, text or letter can't be legitimate.

Amarillo Crime Stoppers have announced their annual document shredding day and it could not come at a better time.

Identity Theft is a real thing and people will do anything to get a hold of your personal information. Since tax season is ending, a ton of personal information is available. When it comes to disposing of old information you don't just want to throw it in the trash. People do comb through the trash looking for this information.

If you have a Texas driver's license, there's a good chance that another business has the information that's listed on your ID card. The state of Texas is selling our info, and they've made $2.7 million on it since 2010.

Don't let someone steal your identity because you threw sensitive information in the trash.  If you have sensitive documents you need to get rid of but don't have time to shred it yourself, then Amarillo Crime Stoppers and Student Crime Stoppers want to help you out.
