Jessica Menendez got quite a surprise when she looked in her recycle bin. Someone had dumped hundreds of files of people's personal information, and she had no idea where they came from.
"It was really shocking. I was quite upset," Menendez said. "I know if that was my information in that bin, I would be quite upset if that ended up in some stranger's hands."
The manila folders Menendez found contained personal information of AT&T cell phone customers, including credit card numbers, driver's licenses and Social Security numbers.
It appears the information was collected by another company called Ferrell Communication, which was located in a strip mall on Atlantic Boulevard. It's no longer there, and the phone number listed isn't valid.
The information is contracts for AT&T wireless service customers dating back to 1999 or 2000. The information is old, but could still be valid.
