Today's identity theft tool is guard your social security number.
Don't carry your card in your wallet or purse and don't write your social security number on a check.
Give your social security number only when absolutely necessary and ask to use another form of identification.
Protect Your Social Security Number
If someone asks for your social security number, you should ask these four questions:
• Why do you need my Social Security number?
• How will my Social Security number be used?
• How do you protect my Social Security number from being stolen?
• What will happen if I don't give you my Social Security number?
