Confidential Shredding Services
With unscrupulous individuals becoming more and more sophisticated and savvy, confidential shredding services are now more important than ever.
Even though people are doing more things digitally, many still have copies of bills or statements that may have originally been received digitally. Many still print them off and keep them in a file, which still keeps them vulnerable. Your own personal information is everywhere… bills, bank statements, blank checks… even in credit card offers and magazines received through the mail.
If you don’t take advantage of confidential shredding services it could end up costing you.
