gonefishin Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 They say it is for genealogy research and that since the people are deceased no harm can come to them if someone knows their SS number. I think it makes it easier for people to get false ID but then that is JMO which is worth less than nothing. I would rather be fishin'.

Leonard Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 DR.. I know it sounds crazy... but it does come in handy.. I have been working on my family genealogy background for over 6 years... we have date my genealogy back to the late 1600's... As for as the SS# there is a big database that keeps track of numbers... when you replace your card (because its tore up, you misplace it, or other things).. then they search the database to make sure you have the right info for that number... DOB, SSN, Parents names, and more... Yes there has been alot of numbers stolen from this database.. but not as many as you would think.. There was a big military scare last year... some had stolen a box of disc with the SSN in it... this box contained over "X" amount disc with unlimited numbers of names ,SSN, ranks.. dated from the 1990-2000 ... I was sent a letter telling me to watch me credit history, and other information on myself.. with in about 2 weeks time it was recovered... someone had misplaced the box and it was mistaken for something else... http://www.taneycomonights.com
