Certain types of computer-related fraud, such as creating dummy
|
|
entries in payroll databases, require the creation of a false Social Security
|
|
Number (SS#). Many employers attempt to detect "ghost" SS#s by running a
|
|
verification program on them. In this article I will show how to defeat
|
|
verification by creating a legitimate-looking SS#.
|
|
|
|
First, some general rules to follow:
|
|
|
|
o The middle two digits of a SS# can be odd or even
|
|
if issued after 1965. All numbers issued before 1965
|
|
that have middle digits of 10 or above should be even.
|
|
|
|
o So far, no SS#s have been issued with a first digit
|
|
of 8 or 9. Very few numbers above 595 have been issued,
|
|
so use caution. 700-729 were issued by the Railroad
|
|
Retirement Agency a long time ago, and thus would belong
|
|
to older people. No numbers in the 596-626 have been
|
|
assigned yet (as far as I know), but 596-599 has been
|
|
reserved for Puerto Rico, 600-601 for Arizona, and
|
|
602-626 has been reserved for California.
|
|
|
|
The next step is required only if it is necessary that the place of
|
|
issuance (and thus, probably, state of birth or residence) match the SS#. In
|
|
this case, refer to the following table:

An example: If you were Stan Cisneros living in Burlingame, California, and
|
|
you were born in 1970, your SS# might be 546-28-4197.
