I have bought a 76 corvette, I live in NC and the owner in Kansas. The car was here in NC, and now they "need" my ss# to notarize the title. I have a slight prob with this.
I have NEVER needed to provide my ss# for dmv, notary or title.
Can someone tell me if this is legit? The problem is the title is in kansas, i'm in nc and she says the only way to get it notorized is with my ss# since i am not able to get to kansas.
i have had to provided my ss# before for a similar transaction. i don't agree with it either, but what can you do i guess? in Massachusetts, your ss# is also your DL# which i think is crazy. if someone finds your lost license, you can be taken advantage of via identity theft
I would make arrangements to call the Notary that they are going to use and give the Notary the SSN. Not the seller. I would think this is a little more safe.

Before providing the notary with that info, ask for a copy of her commission or bond to be sent to you. Anyone can claim to be a notary over the phone.

In IA you can request that it not be used and they will give you a different number.
Seriously, are people such "SHEEP" in this country they'll just do whatever people ask of them...just give them the wrong SS# (mix up the last 9 digits) and if it comes up later, "oops, I must have guessed wrong"...damn, no wonder scammers love people here

Technically you're correct but no one uses their SS# any more. They give you a random 9 digit number.
Other than banks, employer, government, I do like Scottv and give a fake SS number. Why should I give a dentist or grocery store clerk my SS#.
