My goodness using a fake SSN is a criminal offense. It's is considered a federal crime and can result in up to 15 years in prison.Do you want to report fraud, such as: misusing a Social Security number or Social Security benefits? Fill out a paper application at a customer service center. Step 2: Bring required documents to the DMV. If the SSN belongs to a US citizen she is in trouble. When you discover another a tax return has been filed with your Social Security number, you'll use IRS Form 14039 to alert the IRS. We do tell the customer that the credit reporting agency, ChexSystems, etc. A false narrative suggesting that over half a million migrants had registered to vote in swing states shows how quickly misinformation can spread. If she did not provide us with a correct number, then that gave us the right to release her from the job.
