More and more identity thieves are finding it as easy as turning on an old computer to get enough information to loot your bank account.It’s easy to find these old computers in thrift shops, garage sales and even in the garbage.
"We are not ‘crying wolf’ on this issue," says Phil Kuhlenbeck, Owner of Scrap It Out, LLC and www.scrapitout.com, a data destruction and computer disposal company.
According to one report, this sort of thing happens everyday, where criminals are digging through garbage looking for credit card applications, canceled checks, bank statements, expired charge cards and even old computers so they can counterfeit documents, order new credit cards and even use the information to extort money from people.
Kuhlenbeck went on to say, "Although, we are in the data destruction and computer disposal business, this issue is so important that we are providing free do-it-yourself instructions on how to remove data 100%."
Kuhlenbeck also encourages everyone to heed this warning and pass this important information along to others.
