Asking for SSN?

[dreamyxo]

Never seen that and definitely wouldn't give out that info.

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 don't give my real bank.  They don't need that.  I don't do the web cam either.

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.

I knew that.  But still did not feel comfortable.  Esp since there were 3 questions total.  One confirming a previous street I had lived on and then the last 4 of my DL.  WHY would they need to know exactly who I am for a friggin 30 cent survey?  And if it is not hard to figure out then they shouldn't need to ask me. haha

Never had one, but i would not ever give out the personal info to any of my accounts or drivers license . Heck i don't even want them contacting me on the phone, I am tired of cold calls and scammers.  i have  got to the point where unless i know who is calling i won't even answer  the phone.

Honestly, I haven't had a survey ask for that kind of information but if I had I wouldn't do it.  I close surveys that want follow ups or ask for an address to further bother me.  I wouldn't do any survey that asks for personal information.  I don't think FC screens these, so it's up to the individual whether they want to do the survey or not.  But common sense, any time they ask for stuff like that, don't do it.

I haven't seen this yet and if I did I wouldn't give any of that kind of info.

Interesting...thanks for pointing that out...

I would not give out my ss# like the guy from lifeloxk did. If you have a question on fusion cash you can probably contact the administrator.

That has only happened once for me but that was at a banking website to verify my identity. I haven't seen it on a survey site.

[kathleenkleinhans]

I had that happen as well, but it was in multiple choice format? Weird

I've never seen that either, and I would not be comfortable giving that out, unless it was directly from the survey site and has to do with tax forms.

What pees me off is when you spend 45 minutes doing a survey and then the very last question is they want your street address or you don't get paid.

And it is up to you if you want to take it.  I complained about something in s survey and that is what they told me.  If you don't feel comfortable answering the questions then x out of it and go on to another survey.  FC is making money on the surveys we complete.

I didn't want to answer them when I filled out my taxes.  I certainly won't do it on a survey.  We have NO privacy.  And if you have been doing surveys, getting free samples, and all this other stuff you have even less.

no most ask for your birth year but not first three digits of social.

[cathy37]

This has never happened to me, but like you I would close out of the survey.  I have a problem giving out any of my Social Security Number or my Driver's License number.
