So how do you get started? If you are serious about becoming a victim of identity theft, the single most important thing you can do is become an attractive target. This is much easier than you think. Just follow these simple, step-by-step suggestions:

1. Give your Social Security number out to anyone who asks. In order to rip off your identity, a thief needs your SSN. Sure, he can go to the trouble of buying your SSN from any one of a dozen Web sites, but why make it difficult for him? If you want to become an easy target, and thereby improve your chances of identity theft, you must put your SSN where it is easily accessible. If possible, make sure it is printed on your driver's license. Also, be sure to have it printed on all your checks. Give it to anyone who asks - even those who don't really have a legitimate need for it. After all, why risk embarrassment by refusing to give out your SSN.

Is this the society we live in? A society dominated by the fear that this useless crap will be taken away from us? Come on! We are so much more than that...

Have you even READ the Bridge Day thread? It's my understanding that if somebody has your SSN and your date of birth, they can trade the pair of them in for your SOUL!:-(

. . . Or something like that.
