Question posed by Amber J: How does identity theft happen through junk mail? My boss is very picky about shredding his junk mail because he says things like credit card offers, etc. have his personal info on them and people could steal his identity. The thing is, whenever I respond to a credit card offer (for myself), I still have to give them all my pertinent info. SO, unless you have all that info, how can you steal someone’s identity through a piece of junk mail? Or am I right and he’s just paranoid?

The No 1 answer:
