Glen Office Diary : Identity Fraud Special!

October is anti fraud month!

Keep Safe With Glen Office Supplies

This small video will give you practical steps on how to reduce the risk of Identity theft.

Each year 1,000's around the globe are subject to having their identity stolen. Sudden purchases are shown up on your bank statement for things you did not buy. Apart from the frustration of trying to resolve the issue and to try and reclaim any money that has been spent, you now have the fear that someone is pretending to be you! Your suspicions become greater and you find it hard to trust people.

During October Glen Office Supplies in association with Fellowes and The Shred Centre are trying to make as many aware as possible of this high risk problem and to offer a basic solution. A solution that we all should be aware of and that is:

DISPOSE YOUR CONFIDENTIAL DATA RESPONSIBLY!

One excellent way to reduce the risk is to purchase either a privacy stamp to go over your address or a cross cut shredder. Strip cuts are okay but they are not as secure as cross cut as cross cut shred it to confetti size pieces.

Only £15.44 + vat and P&P

(FREE with every shredder purchased during October)

Data Protection Act and Your Business

How many times we have heard in the news about information that has been leaked and now the company or organisation is facing major law suites or hefty fines? Okay we can't stop people smuggling information out but we can reduce the risk by having a regular destruction of all documentation and waste paper.

Is the Risk Worth the Cost?

Here is an amazing fact. Did you know that the average Brit. spends on average £110 per month on fast food that's on average £27.50 per week. Did you know an organisation can be fined up to £500,000 for breach of the data protection act in the workplace. For at least £7.50 per week +vat we can provide you with 5 consoles, collect and securely shred all your documentation every eight weeks. Even if you might not go through that many consoles in eight weeks a total of £390 + vat per year is better than the risk of paying up to £500,000 in fines. We also provide one off collections and give a certificate of destruction with every shred. Every reasonable person would not deprive himself of food even if it is fish and chips, but what about your business security.

To make it easier if you sign up for a regular service* of collection and shredding during October we will give your first collection FREE that's a saving of at least £60.00. We can also arrange for a one off service by providing 15 25kg bags price starts from £60.00 + vat (to be used once or twice over the year)

*Regular collection service is based on every eight weeks or less and a minimum of one year contract.

We also giving you up to £80.00 cash back on selected Fellowes Shredders during the month of October.
