I think everyone should purchase a shredder, you just cannot be too careful. There are just so many career criminals out there living off the hard work of others with one evil scam or another. It infuriates me no end as they seem to always choose naive people, older folks and people with very little to rip off. I have reemed out many phone scammers saying they are from Telus or Apple etc. they sound very professional and legitimate but you lust know they are sitting on their arse at some call centre in India or Brazil or wherever, just lying through their teeth. I remember at least three time. No morals whatsoever, makes me SICK!! Who are these revolting people? I feel a little better now Be careful people!
