If my SSN is stolen, it wont work with my name (like if they tried to apply for benefits, posing as me with my name, but using my fake SSN).How I do I remember the fake SSN I use at different places? 1) I use the same fake SSN each place, each time. 2) I simply increase each number of my real SSN by one digit. Example: if my real SSN is 038-51-2647, I write down 149-62-3758 If it someone who wants the number, but is not using it to verify my ID, such as the doctors office, a drug screening company, etc, what I do is give them a fake SSN so they are satisfied.
