No businesses, please.

Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest growing crimes. If you've ever had your personal information stolen, you know crooks can drain your bank account, run up charges on your credit cards, open new phantom accounts, even get medical treatment on your health insurance. It can cost time, money and patience to resolve.

The shredder is coming back to WJXT and here's how to prepare.

Channel 4 chose tax day this year because we know it's a time when many of you have identified important paperwork that's ready to be throw away. Do it the right way -- take the extra step to insure you don't become a victim.
