Shred-a-Thons
Attorney General Terry Goddard and the Community Services staff are holding Shred-a-Thons around Arizona to educate consumers on how to prevent identity theft. These free events have been well attended and grown in popularity because of the valuable services provided. Arizona residents are encouraged to bring old bills, tax returns older than seven years, medical records and other documents containing personal identifying information to shred.
Victims of identity theft have found the restoration process to be long and frustrating. Shredding old financial documents is a simple way to reduce your chances of becoming a victim.
The Attorney General’s Fraud Fighter Van and Community Services staff are well equipped to provide information about consumer protection. Those interested in more information about consumer protection and civil rights can also visit the numerous Attorney General Satellite Offices located throughout Arizona. The Community Services staff can be reached at communityservices@azag.gov or by phone at 602.542.2123 (Phoenix), 520.628.6504 (Tucson) or 1.866.358.6661 (outside Maricopa County).
