Fascinating Facts About Confidential Paper Shredding
Confidential Document Destruction - Top 20
Things To Shred
By Victoria M. Brown
One of the fastest growing crimes of our time is identity theft. In recent
years, identity thieves have left many people feeling uneasy and with good
reason. As soon as someone steals something that can provide them with
your identity, such as financial records, legal documents, or medical
records, they can use everything that you have worked for to their
benefit.
It is relatively easy for someone to steal your identity, especially for
those who know what they are doing. Once your information has been stolen,
your bank account can be emptied or the balance on your credit cards can
be run up. It is hard to catch an identity thief and it's not easy to fix
what they have done. The best way to be safe from identity theft is to
prevent it. In order to protect yourself, you need to know what a thief is
looking for and be sure to shred such documents.
Here are the top 20 documents to shred (in no particular order) to protect
yourself against identity theft :
1. Financial records are an obvious hit for identity theft. These
documents contain all your financial information, possibly even your
account numbers.
2. Magnetic media - tapes, disks, CD's or anything storing electronic
data.
3. Payroll records. These documents contain how much money you make,
exactly what thieves want to know.
4. Legal documents. Even though these documents might not contain
financial information, they most likely contain personal information that
can lead to your financial info.
5. Account records - which contain personal information like your address,
phone number and sometimes even your social security number.
6. Medical records
7. Class Rosters
8. Maps and blueprints
9. New product proposals. If this falls into the hands of a thief, they
can propose your product before you do.
10. Inventory lists. This is like a map for a robbery. Knowing what you
have makes it really easy to know what to steal.
11. Confidential correspondence - such as letters, emails, etc.
12. Customer lists and estimates
13. Tax records. Tax records contain lots of personal information. Also
how high your taxes are is dependent on how much you make.
14. Outdated business records
15. Invoices
16. Cancelled checks
17. Price Lists
18. Microfilm and fiche
19. Credit and ID Cards
20. Junk Mail - this is overlooked quite often.
