          YPs I shared some tax season/identity theft prevention tips via Tax Season/Identity Theft Prevention Tips  post about a month ago.  One of the identity theft prevention tips included shredding important personal documents that contain sensitive information using a cross-cut shredder.  The good people partnering with Fellowes sent me a cross-cut shredder Fellowes 79Ci to use and provide a product review.  By rule, I rip up every piece of mail with any of my personal information and blackout my information with a pen to the point where my information is not legible.  This may be bit much for some but it worked for me not having a shredder.  Needless to say once I received the Fellowes 79Ci Cross-Cut shredder I began shredding and shredding and shredding.  I shredded about three [click to continue…]
