Research has revealed that identity
theft occurs more frequently offline, with paper information, than
online. Go online and make it easy for you to get the paper shredder you need to protect yourself and your clients against identity theft. The goal is to find the right equipment at the right price. Top quality paper shredders come with comprehensive warranties. Look for a company that buys direct from the factory and will pass the savings on to you. A paper shredder will help prevent you from becoming a victim of opportunistic thieves. Before you throw any papers away, shred them! The two main types of paper shredders are strip-cut and cross-cut designs. Strip-cut paper shredders cut the paper into long, thin, vertical strips. Strip-cut shredders are not recommended for businesses requiring maximum security, as it may be possible to reassemble the documents with time, patience, and tape. Cross-cut paper shredders cut documents into small pieces that resemble confetti. The blades cut in two directions, both vertically and horizontally, to make it virtually impossible to reassemble documents. Cross-cut paper shredders provide a higher level of security than strip-cut shredders. However, they are also more expensive and require more maintenance. It is absolutely essential to always shred the following items before discarding them: bank statements, cancelled checks, credit card receipts, medical information, insurance information, confidential letters, expired vehicle registrations, any financial documents and records, expired debit and credit cards, old tax returns, old billing statements, and any documents containing your name, social security number, date of birth, work history, or any other personal information. Instead of worrying about identity theft, shred it and forget it!
