I'm worried that someone might be able to access my Social Security Number. Is it possible for others to obtain my SSN without my permission, and if so, how can I protect myself from this kind of privacy invasion?

One common technique is by physically stealing wallets and purses. These items often contain sensitive documents, including identification cards and possibly even copies of the SSN.

Scammers may also target personal mail. This includes bank and credit card statements, which can provide vital financial information, including account numbers linked to the SSN.

Pre-approved credit offers sent through mail are another target. These documents sometimes contain personal details, making them a treasure trove for identity thieves.

New checks, especially those that have not been used, can also be intercepted. The information printed on checks, such as the bank routing number and account holder's details, can be used for fraudulent activities.
