i hope that once you worked it out, the first document you shredded was that one!!!

How did you know that Terri?

Your right of course

The reason I bought it was due to what happened to a friend of ours

We have these re-cycle bins for paper, which we all use, but someone had not torn up all their junk mail, and their identities were stolen by someone who ran up a credit fraud of thousands £, in our friends name

the only way they realised what was going on, was when she went to increase their overdraft, and the bank told them that were BLACKLISTED

It took them eighteen months to clear their name, after they had gone to court

I knew junk mail was annoying but I'd never even considered it could be dangerous as well

Shredder time for me!

Thanks for the translations, Terri .

de rien!

trans: it is nothing/you're welcome (Fr)

Yeah, got it

I like having fun with translation machines.

What happened was, when the new owner moved into my pals old flat, they opened up some junk mail offering credit cards ect!

Then they filled in the forms, got the credit cards, and ran up a HUGE bill in thier names

So just be careful what you throw out, especially Junk Mail offering free credit cards which are "already filled in for your conveinance"
as they say in their jargon
