Every year, thousands of Kansans fall victim to identity theft. As your Attorney General, Steve Six is determined to protect Kansas families from these scams. The best way to defeat identity theft is by protecting your personal information. That is why Steve Six is sponsoring Shred-a-thons throughout the state for Kansans to securely dispose of sensitive documents. Simply bring old financial, credit card & tax documents to your local shred-a-thon to securely discard information that could fall into the wrong hands.March 4, 2009
