Specially commissioned research compiled shows that whilst the public fear being a victim of identity fraud more than pickpocketing, muggings or even burglary. A large number still put themselves at risk by disposing of private information without first rendering it unreadable.
A new poll by Populus shows that 40% of the public questioned rated identity fraud as their major concern in a list of crimes that included burglary (27%), mugging (21%) and pickpocketing (3%)
Action recommended
A major step you can take to protect yourselves include:
- Always shred before disposing of documentation - bank and credit card statements, utility bills, receipts, direct mail containing any personal information, mortgage applications etc
If you wish to purchase the brand leading shredder, choose the latest Bulldog from Fellowes complete with Safe Sense technology. The Bulldog Powershred PS77cs will eat paper, paperclips and CD's but won't harm a baby, because the shredder has sensors that stop tiny fingers getting into a live machine...see the great ad which depicts the gentle giant above. |  |
