That would only help you if they claim to be US-based in the first place. They do mention background checks, there are some companies offering those internationally.

  They mention forged social security cards. The government has a system for verifying them, E-Verify, provided for free to employers.

    I tried to help a family member set up E-Verify for her small manufacturing company in 2019, and the government would not approve her business for E-Verify, even though they had been established for 50 years and had almost 200 employees on the payroll. They ran just about everything in-house (including payroll) and because they didn't use a PEO, the government didn't want to deal with them, and they had to get someone in Congress to intervene on their behalf before getting the approval.

      I have implemented it for two businesses, a software consultancy with 32 employees at the time and a tugboat company with 50 employees at the time. It was tedious, but we had no real obstacles.

    Why would an employer get to see my social security card? Not just the number, which is a "fuck the law" thing by this point, but the actual card? Might as well ask the dimensions of my intestines. [Flashback May 19 23:19: someone did once check out my organs that way! A brain scan I only found out about because I was asked to participate in a class action suit against Aetna for not paying! Thanks for not paying, Aetna! You know I didn't sign on to that suit against you, that's why I didn't! Otherwise it would have been like picking up money off the street, which I have done, and it was easy, but I didn't see it that way because of the immorality of suing you! They were committing malpractice to harm me, spying on me with a brain scan! I sincerely thank you for not covering that claim, only thing that limited my time in the torture ward. I would be in there to this day if you paid and kept paying those fraudulent claims.]
