Credit Card Safety

OK, I waited to report this for obvious reasons...
A few weeks ago I was downstairs at the dumpster to throw away scraps of carpeting, and slips of paper were all over the trash room. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be credit card receipts... Dozens of them! From a local Quizno's. Names and whole credit card #'s printed clearly on the slips. The potential for cc fraud was enormous. My guess is someone in the building owns a Quizno's franchise and didn't bother to shred the credit card receipts prior to throwing them down the chute, and the receipts scattered upon impact.
Folks, please take precautions with your personal info and shred all sensitive documents. Don't assume just because they are in the dumpster they are safe from prying eyes!

Someone in the building owns a Quizno's? I love that place! Wonder if they won't mind contributing a couple sandwiches to our community get togethers...
And yes, shred those CC statements!
