A print shop worker in New Jersey is alarmed at what he discovered this weekend, valuable information about hundreds of consumers in Calgary.
Jesse Bender says several papers fell out of a cardboard box he picked up at the print shop where he works in Rockaway, New Jersey.
When he opened the box he discovered over 1200 credit card receipts, from the Home Depot on Macleod Trail.
"When I opened it up a lot of paper fell down on the ground. I wasn't really sure what it was, and when I picked it up I seen they were credit receipts from Home Depot, said Bender, they were all from Calgary, from the store in Calgary."
The receipts clearly show credit card numbers, expiry dates, and signatures.
Bender told CTV News, he doesn't know how they ended up in his print shop in the U.S., but he worries what might have happened if they fell in to the wrong hands.
"There's nothing stopping me from going to one of these cyber cafes and sitting down at a computer and using that computer to place orders, said Bender.
CTV News contacted the Home Depot on Macleod Trail this afternoon and were told the store manager wasn't available.
Bender doesn't plan on notifying the store and says he will destroy the stack of credit card receipts.
I'm going to burn them or whatever and get rid of them. I just wanted to make somebody aware.
The box also contained over 500 more receipts from Home Depot stores across the U.S.A.
