For the dial uppers, its a couple of dudes checking the trash at mutiple Chase banks. they find names, addresses, SS#'s, phone numbers, DOB, account #'s and even passwords.
They blur it out I think for good reason, but......I have no idea if this is for real......my money is on "its for real!"
BTW...None of what they find is shredded, its all full page paperwork.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Best thing you can do is check your accounts regularly. Bank, CC etc. I usually do mine 1X a week to see if all is as it should be.
I got a call the other day from my CC company asking if I used my CC for cash withdraw that morning. I did try to take cash out that morning but stupid me, I had gotten the order of cards in my wallet mixed up and tried to use the CC in place of my bank card. 3X I entered the pin and was rejected. I finally realized I was using a CC instead of the banks card...DUH! It was reassuring to see prompt action on the part of the CC company for irregular activity. Always know where your accounts stand!
