I work at a bank in identity fraud. They can not get your SSN with your name and birth date. If u are worried someone has your info call the credit bureaus and tell them u want to put a fraud victim statement on your report. If someone pulls your credit the bank or company, legally has to call you.
What is this?
So I got a call from a strange number this morning asking about an insurance quote. I never solicited my information to anyone and I told them I didn't think they could beat my insurance rate anyways as it just went down to 121 a month for a 2012 dodge ram with full coverage and a 2015 leased Toyota Corolla s with full coverage and a 500,000 life insurance policy but they could try as long as I didn't have to give my information out. She stated they already had all that on file. I told her if she had my social security number it was illegally obtained and that she better not run it. Then she proceeded to tell me that they could get my social just from my birthday and address. I'm appalled that a company can get that information when you didn't give them permission. Sorry for the long post but my question is how can people do that, I'm aware that some companies solicit your information but I always read what the share and to who.

It could be just a scam to get your personal information, I never give out any of my information over the phone unless I call them.

Yes there has, a couple of months ago I had someone pose as Verizon customer service employ that tried to scam me and get all my personal information. They knew my name and everything.

I got a call today from a random place in an entire different state they had my name and said it was from an important business matter and I needed to call asap. I googled the number and place it was from Natchez, ms and everyone said it was scam calls. Who knows what Info they are trying to get from me. It really pisses me off.
