I'm kind of curious, did you use "123..." and they didn't care/notice, or did you give a random number?

(This may not help OP, but in case anyone else was thinking thi.) Anecdotally, Hawaii is not. A lot of people think they can "start over" there, and it's next to impossible unless you already have a salaried job lined up be

It's possible that some people think Google will hire them this way. They probably hear about the great salaries and benefits that programmers get, and think they can get it too if they just try hard enough.

Or they have, but just don't want to release the video and scare people.

I don't think Newegg configures computers themselves, I believe it's third party stores that do the upgrades and sell the openbox items using Newegg's marketplace.

I think the solution is simple then: The SSN should be used for read-only. Once the credit report is read/accessed, the credit bureau issues a write-only code. The company then deletes the SSN and only retains the write-only code. If t

That form does not indicate that it's used to change a SSN. Even if you do get a new SSN I wonder what the process is for changing it with the credit bureaus.

The energy that made those rocks warm, came from spinning other rocks really fast.

I agree. However a comment in another thread explained they would need the SSN to make a report with the credit bureau if you missed payments. That's an easy fix in my opinion: The SSN should be used for read-only. Once the credit r

When I "penny-pinch", I don't do it to save money, but instead to reward the sellers who have the lower price.

Looks like Librem's AweSIM might fill this niche (at least in regards to privacy). They don't say how they protect your number though, and it's expensive, and doesn't even include SMS, just text(?).

That, and companies shouldn't hold on to information they don't need. I never give doctor offices my SSN or other extra information, and they never batt an eye. People are just conditioned that if they're asked for something

You don't have to, but people don't know any better. In the U.S., you can get a prepaid number without giving out your real name.

Same thing happens to me. When I get "verify your email" messages, I delete them. If I still get emails after that, I mark them as spam.

It seems like a great incentive to not have leaks, share information, or hold onto information they don't actually need. Cell phone companies ask for social security numbers (SSNs) to do a credit check when opening post-paid accounts.

Isn't posting bad information a "willful intent to injure"? I can't imagine the banks are piblishing bad info in order to help the consumer.

I would love to pay a cell phone company that takes data privacy and security seriously. There are similar companies for high-value domain names, why not phone numbers?

In the U.S., I've opened all of my checking accounts and credit card accounts online. The only thing I've ever had to do in person was sign for a home mortgage.

The same could be said about many articles posted here. Personally I only read the first few paragraphs before closing the page. Anyway, I upvoted it because it offers something interesting which I was not aware of, and made me curious as t

I'd rather have interesting posts like this in moderation, not a free-for-all with lower quality posts.

It's an intellectually-enticing title, but I wouldn't lump it in with "Clickbait" (with a capital 'C'). It's way more interesting than "10 things... , number 4 will shock you!"

If you buy a "smart" TV, then you're just supporting the market for "smart" TVs. I prefer to support the market for "dumb" TVs. Also, if you purchase a "smart" TV, then you either have to open it
