Re: Your Privacy Concern
Most of the cases of identity fraud happen when the perpetrator goes thru garbage and finds things like credit card applications...you know, those numerous mailings you get, all you have to do is sign it and you get a credit card with a 20 thousand dollar limit...they sign it themselves, update the address and voila they have a credit card that YOU have to pay for.
We have a 10-dollar shredder but we dont use it in the winter. We have a fireplace that we use for all of our Junk mail - it gets burned. In the summer, we shred.
