Please for the love of god stop preemptively give out your personal information!
Please just stop!
Doing!
That!
There is no reason to ever give out your WHOLE Social Security Number to someone that HASN'T EVEN ASKED YOU to provide it to them! If they ask you for your name? Don't give them your full Social Security Number! First that is not what they asked and second it just shows you are not listening or paying attention. Also it's rude.
This is how people get your Social Security Number!! If you are just telling any and everyone without being prompted then you might as well just hand out fliers with your Social Security Number printed on it or even taking out a billboard a with it.
You are literally the first step in protecting your own information!
This is why the fraudsters are smarter then you, because they know you are just giving out your whole Social Security Number without even needing to be cajole or coerced! You are already doing their work for them!
So!
STOP DOING THAT!
Stop being your own worst enemy!
Because yes, you are only hurting yourself. Because you are giving them the tools and information and all of your personal identification information, there is nothing other people, or banks, or god can do to stop you! Only you can stop yourself from giving out your personal information unprompted!
