Ever tear up an un-wanted credit card application and throw it in the trash? In this world of identity theft and dumpster diving, what risks are you exposing yourself to? This guy decided to find out what would happen if he sent in a credit card application that had been torn up and taped back together. To make it a little easier on the bank, he also changed the mailing address and gave a cell number as the primary number. No bank would issue a card under these circumstances, would they? Let's just say, it's time to buy a good shredder (confetti cut) if you don't already have one. I own this one; piece of mind for about $70.

I just can't stand CC companies and unsolicited offers. I wish I had a big fireplace to burn all my junk mail. I never get around to shredding the offers, but I figured it would be hard to steal my identity if I have ripped up the offer and not filled it out.
CC companies just pass the loss on to others. fucking sobs.
