AZ: Passerby finds hundreds of documents with personal info in dumpster

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Dissent

Lindsey Reiser reports:

Preston Brooker was walking his dog when he saw a dumpster overflowing with papers in an old LA Fitness parking lot.

When he looked closer, he saw they weren’t your average photocopies. They were old gym memberships, with credit card information, Social Security numbers, addresses and other info.

“This is a violation of someone’s trust,” said Brooker.

And Brooker should know. He’s had his identity stolen before.

The memberships are for local gym Fitness 1, dating back to the late 90s and early 2000s. So we called them up.

Read more on CBS. It appears that this is LA Fitness’s breach, not Fitness 1’s.
