According to an article in the August, 2007 issue of Money magazine, an identity thief can use the last four digits of your social security number to steal your identity. Those four numbers, along with your name and address, can be used to order a copy of your credit report from one of the companies that operates as a liason to the credit reporting companies. Once they have your credit report, they have your social security number which is printed on the report. They might even be able to guess the first five digits of your social security number, because they are based on your place and date of birth!

What do you do? Never give out your social security number, not even the last four digits, to anyone unless they can give you a good reason why they need it. Remember: You're only legally required to give out your social security number to financial institutions, employers and other companies required to report to the IRS. This does not include doctors, dentists and other service providers who routinely ask for your SS#. They don't need it and shouldn't be asking for it!

I do feel that the last four of your SS# is a little bit much, so give em a fake last four what diff. does it make they'll never know, even when you send em your DL scan to get paid most DL's nowadays don't show your SS#. But knowing your name and address hell they could open up a telephone book and get whole cities name and addresses

That is what I tried to tell people. You dont fax a copy of your ID to anyone.....period. You don't give the last four of your SSN# to anyone. Ever. People must think everyone in CR are angels. Your not always dealing with straight shooters offshore. It's the f!@#ing wild west out there.

Heads from the Ukraine and Russia have personal data. Maybe it's mob related. It-ali-ono maybe. Hell anyone could be controlling that data base. Question......do you realize data on gamblers is valuable to the right people? Never mind your identity being stolen. For what....a dime? It will cost that much to clean it up.
