While there are many proactive steps that consumers can take to help mitigate the risk of identity theft but, unfortunately, there is no way to prevent companies from making bad decisions on how they handle their customer's personal information. Take the video below as a case in point.
A small Texas specialty foods company was caught using cancelled checks from a local bank as packing material in their shipments to customers. A mother and daughter discovered the shocking contents of a package and alerted the local news station. The most shocking part? The Texas company admits that they have been packing their wares in cancelled checks for as long as 20 years!
Needless to say, this is another perfect example why most customers would benefit from an identity theft protection service. Learn more by visiting our guide to identity theft protection services.
