Palisades Mall Responsible For Careless Dumping of Personal Documents?

January 25, 2010

Palisades Mall in Rockland County in West Nyack, NY is under speculation after personal documents were found blowing around in the wind in the parking lot outside of the local mall.

The documents, which were job applications for the clothing store Metropark, a Los Angeles-based clothing chain located inside the mall, were obviously carelessly disposed of. These applications included applicants’ Social Security numbers, person addresses, and on some, even their driver’s license numbers.

If in the wrong hands, these documents could be used to open up credit cards and obtain loans fraudulently which can seriously affect the person’s financial future. Identity theft is hard to fight, and hard to fix.

If you or anyone else you know has recently applied at the Metropark store for a job, your information may be at risk. It is strongly encouraged that you obtain credit monitoring services or identity theft protection to ensure that your information is safe and protected.
