The BBB invites the community to BBB “Secure Your ID” Day Saturday, October 3, 2015, at WalMart located at 5955 Zebulon Rd in Macon.  Residents and small businesses are encouraged to attend the event and take a key step in identity protection by shredding and properly disposing of their sensitive paper documents.  The BBB staff will also be on-site to provide expert advice and tips for identity theft protection.

“Properly destroying documents that carry information you don’t want getting into the hands of crooks is an important first step to fighting identity theft, but it doesn’t end there,” said Kelvin Collins, President/CEO of Better Business Bureau of Central Georgia & the CSRA.  “That’s why BBB experts will also be on hand offering important advice and simple steps everyone can take to prevent ID theft in their daily lives, both online and off.”
