Social Security Identity Theft

Our Social Security number is our personal national ID.  It’s given to us at a very early age, and stays with us a lifetime.  That is, as long as nothing bad happens to ours along the way.

If you read the page on Drivers License Identity Theft, you already know where I’m going here.  If not, here’s a refresher.

When illegal immigration hit a point in this country that alarmed most of us (triggered by 9/11) and due to that the governing bodies of most States passed legislation that required 2 forms of “legal” identification in ordered to be hired for work, the demand for social security numbers (legitimate ones, since they would be checked in the database to make sure they were real–prior to this illegals just used to make up socials or readily use another family member’s number) increased dramatically almost overnight.
