Identity Theft Protection
Don't make it easy on "identity-thieves".
With the use of a little bit of common sense, months, even years of trouble can
be averted always try and protect yourself from identity theft.
Never pre-print your Social Security Number (SSN)
on checks or any other pre-printed forms. It is too easy for "identity-thieves"
to get that information, fraudulently obtain credit in your name, and severely
damage your credit.
Also, if your driving license uses the SSN as
the driving license number, in most states, you may request that the DMV use
another number instead. Most states mandate this option.
And finally, if you find
yourself being asked to provide your SSN by a private business, just refuse, or
write "REFUSED" in the requesting form. If they persist, demand to see their
written policy requiring an SSN. Most business will have none, and cannot
legitimately require you provide it. They generally will back down if you
persist. In the case of an employment application, just write "provided upon
hire". Stand up for your rights, and protect your privacy.
