Shred Day is returning to Timonium and White Marsh to offer free document destruction to all who need it. This annual event is part of a national campaign that seeks to reduce identity theft and broaden scam awareness in our communities. In Maryland, identity theft comprises a quarter of all fraud reports submitted to the FTC. Nationwide, consumers lost roughly $43 billion to identity fraud in 2022, and experts predict rates of identity theft and fraud will grow in 2024.
Which documents should you shred?
