error was my SSN which was transposed

say 123-54-6789

should have been

123-45-6789

this made someone else's name come up as the wrong SSN was active and belonged to Christopher xxxxx.

Does this mean that they just exposed someone else's SSN to you inadvertently...  I would think there are some sort of penalties involved with that for the agency responsible but what do I know.  I'm glad there's a happy ending in there for you, but old Christopher probably wouldn't be too happy to learn what happened...   Cheesy

yeah I now know Christopher's SSN his last name of course and the year the SSN was issued.

1995

You can legally enter a SSN on a lookup for free. The reveal you get is if it is valid and the Year it was issued.

So

xxx - 54 - xxxx             would be Christopher's Number.

xxx - 45 - xxxx               would be mine.

obviously the ones above are dummied up.

Lucky for Christopher x I am honest and he has a common last name. So even though I know his social there are 63 people in the usa with his name. I also do not know if he is an immigrant and that the issue date of 1995 is the year he was born.

So I got the package yesterday and I still need to work on the next one as DHL has all good info now but bitmain still has the old transposed number.

Say Chris Smith or Chris Brown. Or Chris {common last name}




Why do they use the SSNs?Huh?
