BBB to host free shredding event Saturday
DAYTON – While identity theft can happen to anyone, 2020 was the worst year in history for identity theft reports.
The Federal Trade Commission reported cases of identity theft skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The FTC announced it recorded about 1.4 million reports of identity theft incidents in 2020, twice the number of cases reported in 2019.
Better Business Bureau serving Dayton/Miami Valley will offer free shredding at the Secure Your ID Day from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday (dependent on truck capacity) at Routsong Funeral Home, Inc., 81 N. Main St., Centerville.
This popular event is a great way to dispose of your files – credit card statements, old checks, IRS tax returns, etc. – safely. You can bring up to five boxes or bags of documents to be shredded free at the event. If you have more than five boxes, you’re welcome to go through the line again.
