Submitting SSN # - GoFuckYourself.com

For individual webmasters:

It's pretty scary to submit all of your information to sponsors. Any horror stories about submitting your info and getting identity stolen, etc?

d-null · 11-11-2009, 03:54 PM

good point, especially when there are no assurances of security being taken seriously by any of them

Sly · 11-11-2009, 04:11 PM

People have been doing this for well over 10 years. Are there any documented cases of theft or fraud due to it?

Either way, I always suggest people start a corporation of some type.

bdld · 11-11-2009, 04:16 PM

i never see HTTPS on signup forms

Agent 488 · 11-11-2009, 04:20 PM

yes since some companies seem to hire affiliate reps from of prison reintegration programs.

not sure about the theft or fraud thing, but wasn't there a big leak of affiliate sign-ons about a year or two ago? I forget exactly but I think a prominent member here ended up banned around the same time for slightly unrelated stuff but I remember he was working to get the word of it spread into the mainstream at the time if I recall correctly

AIbenjamink · 11-11-2009, 04:22 PM

Out of general curiosity, are they legally able to require a SSN for sign up?

96ukssob · 11-11-2009, 04:23 PM

Give a tax ID instead

You must be talking about "minusonebit". He was certainly on the war path.

dallasnovelty · 11-11-2009, 04:34 PM

Tax ID is what I have so I dont have to disclose SSN

1. Set up LLC.
2. Set up business bank account.
3. File for a corporate tax I.D.
4. The end.

No reason to be concerned if you run your business like a business.

Do not even need a corporation at all. Staying as a D.B.A. or a Partnership is perfectly fine. Anyone can call the IRS or fill out the paper to get a Tax ID Number (TIN) and use that to file instead of using your SS# with any US sponsor.

minusonebrain was hardly a prominent member.

If the program doesn't use https pass them by.

DBS.US · 11-11-2009, 08:15 PM

My file cabinet has hundreds of porn stars 2257 papers with all that info on it.

d-null · 11-11-2009, 08:17 PM

tongue in cheek doesn't usually pass through very well in text form

Be afraid since the girl who took your SSN at your day job has only been working at walmart for about a week

L-Pink · 11-11-2009, 08:25 PM

I don't provide mine to anyone for anything that includes utility companies, cable, etc.

Anything that makes money should be a corporation/LLC and tax #'s are sufficient.

Wow. Who knew you were still pretending to be in our business.

Odd that you'd use this thread to project your fetish onto others

Well, I have a horror story in the works. It involves cam studio operators (here in the usa even)...who have been using models SSN's to obtain credit and other shady things that we are just now learning about. They call themselves webmasters and use that information for fraud.

I don't think SSN's should ever be submitted unless its for tax puposes, and even then, I'd make damn sure to know exactly who at that company has access to it.

HandballJim · 11-11-2009, 10:58 PM

the less people who have the # the better, but just filling paperwork at a doctors office they now ask you for your ssn#

If your worrried about it just check your bank accounts, credit card accounts and your credit report daily. I think if you find out your identity is stolen right away you can get is squashed. A lot of people find out way too late when people start sending notices why they have not paid the bill, etc.

After Shock Media · 11-11-2009, 11:10 PM

If you are located in the US (most with SSN would be of course as a no shit) you have the right to place a voluntary credit freeze on your accounts. Nobody can open lines of credit that way without your personal permission.

Now sure they could data mine enough to get all of the possible answers that the agencies may ask of your to open your credit lines up, that would be more trouble than it is worth and odds are never happen.
