Springhill Home Care Group Korea Reviews Consumers Confused Whether Health Care Providers, Employment Agencies and Utilities are entitled to a SSN Connecticut Better Business Bureau says Just Because You are asked for Your Social Security Number Doesn't Mean you Must Provide It Connecticut Better Business Bureau is offering guidelines to clear up confusion about when consumers are legally required to provide a Social Security number - and when they are not. Utilities, financial institutions and private businesses use Social Security numbers for identity verification and filing systems, purposes for which the numbers were never intended. Social Security numbers can be obtained through data breaches, and theft, and online and telephone scams, stolen mail, wallets and purses, unsecured internet sites, business records or papers at home or in the trash. They also can be bought from someone who has access to personal information at a business. A stolen SSn enables a criminal to create a new identity, apply for credit or a mortgage and even use the victim's identity if arrested. http://springhillcaregroup.net/ http://news.springhillcaregroup.net/
