MEDIA ADVISORY - 2nd Annual “Fight Fraud – Shred Instead”

Attorney General Suthers and AARP Elderwatch To Hold Identity Theft Prevention Event

NOTES:  Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the country. Each year, thousands of Colorado citizens and businesses lose millions to identity theft. To help Coloradans from becoming victims of this growing crime, Attorney General Suthers and AARP ElderWatch will host this second annual event to provide citizens with an opportunity to discard unwanted or outdated personal and financial documents.

There is no limit to the amount of documents each individual can bring for shredding. All documents shredded that day will be recycled.
