Secure Your ID Day
SATURDAY, APRIL 21 10 a. m. to 1 p. m.( or until the shred trucks are full) Did you know that protecting your identity is largely in your own hands? Fifty-six percent of identity theft victims traced the theft to something that was stolen from their own possession. So here’ s the first rule: If you don’ t need it, shred it – responsibly. The BBB and the Peters Township Public Library is here to help with Secure Your ID Day featuring FREE on-site shredding in the library parking lot plus tips to protect your identity. BBB volunteers will guide cars through a moving line, offload their disposable items, shred them on the spot, and distribute goodie bags with educational ID theft and fraud prevention materials. Each vehicle may dispose of a maximum of 3 boxes / bags of paper-based materials. For information relating to Secure Your ID Day, please contact Caitlin Driscoll at 412.456.2700 ext. 110.
