Please... the consumer is not that dumb and WE GET IT.

The "scare" tactic. It's like being brainwashed. "YOU NEED THIS."

Actually, it's probably not a bad idea regarding home robberies, deceitful people.
Although I'm only guessing that most of the bad guys are the computer and phone solicitor hackers.
'All in all' those 'bad guys' do exist.

I don't know - there is a pretty large contingency of 'dumb' consumers, so this stuff does work well to a pretty decent degree.
I even know somebody who buys this sort of stuff hook, line, and sinker. It will be something like 'well, they said..blah blah'. Uh, just because somebody, who is trying to sell you something, says it will do xyz doesn't mean it is true.
But there will be a fair number of people who really do believe the hype about products.

Not everyone has a shredder because not everyone gets bills, statements in the mail.
Maybe I get 2 pieces of paper mail a month.
