Asking for SSN?
« on: March 23, 2017, 06:54:59 am »
This morning, I wanted to make a few bucks and as I clicked on one survey, it was asking for the last 4 digits of my SSN and the first 4 digits of my driver's license. I closed the survey cos i was nervous about that and clicked another survey, but the same thing happened. I thought it was an external survey company asking for it, but then I realized it was fusion cash.  Do you think fusion cash updated it's policy or this is just happening for the main time? Has anyone else seen this? Below is a picture to back what I said up.

I have not seen it yet, but I would not give out that kind of information.

I haven't attempted any surveys on here in some time now.  Got tired of the rejection.
Have a wonderful day!

Regardless if it was a survey from this site or not I would not give out that information.

UHHHH WOW.  This just happened to me but on another site.  I closed it.  It asked for the first 3 of SS# and the last 4 of DL number.  It had like 4 choices and wanted me to pick the one that was right.  Then the other question was about a previous street I had lived on.  If this is something new they are doing to confirm who you are I will not be taking surveys in the future.

Considering a lot of these surveys are coming from other countries that is even more out there they want this info.  What difference does it make exactly who you are.  You are male/female and the age they want or whatever so take that and move on.

I do not give my Soc. Sec, my phone, or even the credit union I may use. They will have an "other" field to fill out the local bank or cred. union. I just put in "local entity". Often that work.  I usually bow out of a survey that is about financial issues.

I also dont use webcam with any survey. We have a very scary un-private internet, and the few scents you get from a survey is not worth the risk.

I have never came across one which asked for that. I would have done just as you have. I don't think they need that information.

I've only had to provide my information to confirm my identity once I hit over $600. I've never seen it otherwise.

But the first 3 numbers of your ssn is just based on the state you lived in when it was issued so its really not that personal or hard to figure out.
