Gregory Evans Sifting Through Trash for Personal Data

Gregory Evans went around a neighborhood sifting through trash cans in search of peoples personal data and hit the jackpot with credit card numbers, insurance information, and other identity theft goodies. Then he told the owners of the trash cans what he found, what he could do with it if he were still a thief, and telling them how they could avoid nightmares waiting to happen by shredding sensitive documents with a confetti shredder before throwing them away for tweakers to find.

This guy Gregory Evans cracks me up because he seems like an expert in how to get free publicity with common sense advise sure to make stupid people think twice before acting stupidly. A few months ago I started getting all kinds of responses after writing a scathing review of an auto-blog site he owns from people that hate him and call him a charlatan. I don't know about that, but when I Googled him I found tons of stories about him in the media focusing on horrible things that could happen to people on the internet with advice about how to avoid them. All the advice of his I've seen so far sounds like common sense most of which involves problems easily avoided or fixed with security software coincidentally similar to what his company LIGATT Security International sells.

In this video specifically he reminds me of when I met my lawyer. It was years ago when I walked into an office, shook the hand of a well dressed smooth talking black dude with a shaved head, listened as he pointed out the maximum sentences for all the bullshit I was charged with, and left a poorer man, but at least my lawyer kept me a free man.
