Wins and Losses in Church Crime Wave – Advice on How Churches Can Protect Themselves
In Little Rock, Arkansas, thieves stole a church's debit card number and spent $4,200 on diet pills, tooth whiteners and designer clothes.
The local Better Business Bureau says that the best way for churches and individuals to protect their identity is to shred their documents. They will have a large shredder available on a public outreach day.
The church, however, says that it has shredded its documents so it does not know how the debit card number was obtained. Oddly, the thief or thieves had all of the merchandise shipped to the church.
