Just wondering...

There's been a lot of talk about identity fraud, keeping your personal details secure, etc etc. Some coworkers have taken to buying a mini shredder to shred their documents like bank statements and bills.

I'm sort of contemplating getting one too. Is it a good idea or is it unnecessary? o_o

o.o Huh, that's novel. Never considered something like that. To me it sounds like overkill, but then again we live in very different surroundings. If the shredders are cheap, I don't see why you shouldn't get one, though. :)

Does your bank offer internet banking that don't cost a lot? I do all my bank stuff online, and I don't even get the paper statements anymore. All those files are online, so I don't have to worry about losing them and be annoyed by all the paper trash they make. :)

Yeah, this sort of fraud happens a lot here (or so says the TV news).

I use internet banking, but also get my statements on paper. Not sure if my bank actually offers paperless banking, I should check.....
