In any case, if you look through someones rubbish bag you'll have loads of information (name, address, phone number, card numbers, account numbers etc etc). All the scammer need do then is ring you up and scam for your remaining details. They can probably sound very convincing because they already have so much info already.
My advice is to never leave anything relating to credit cards/finance etc in the trash outside.

Very very good advice.
Get a decent paper shreder - They are not expensive and can save you loads of money if your details are comprimised. I use the shreded paper for hamster bedding !!!
