Job Recruiters asking for Last 4 of SSN. Scam?
How many people looking for a job lately have gotten very pushy calls from supposed Job Recruiters wanting your last 4 digits of Social Security Number, and even birthdays ?
I've concluded there is a huge Identity Theft ring(s) using this technique very successfully. They will spend huge amounts of time and energy (emails, calls) to try and talk you into giving it up. What about it? Anybody want to share experiences? After researching this, I ended up joining LifeLock today, just in case!
- bobfirestone 13y agoI don't give that info to recruiters. There is no reason for them to have it. When they ask I simply tell them when I am hired I'll give it to the appropriate person.
- dsschnau 13y agoThat sounds real scammy, so does your little plug at the end there.
- ClayFerguson 13y agoI hesitated to mention LifeLock, because people would immediately assume i'm doing advertising for them. I'm not. If I were shamelessly plugging I'd ask you to try meta64.com which ACTUALLY IS my own site, and also happens to be the best news aggregator in the world right now bro.
- seefriek 13y agoYeah...that's likely a scam.
