Paper Shredders

Paper shredders offer you a first line defense against one of the most emotional and financial devastating crimes that happen in this day and age.....Identity Theft. When this crime happens you are usually unaware until you go to make a major purchase. Then you find out when the institution that is checking into your credit does a report on your credit. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as nine million Americans have their identities stole each year. You must be careful how you keep and discard of your personal records. By shredding your paper you could save your credit and your peace of mind.

• Theft identity occurs in one of the following ways:
• Phishing for credit card information, Social Security Numbers, account numbers, or other personal information on the internet by emails, or by phone by people posing as a representative from a company you do business with.
• Stealing documents, by breaking into your home or office, that give this information to the thief.
• Digging through your trash for credit card, loan or refinance offers which the thief can fill out and send in using your name and changing the address. They also look for bills and other items that they can use.
• By calling or approaching you impersonating a government, bank or other authority figure to pressure you into giving information to a third party by phone, such as credit card numbers, birth date, or social security number.
