Falsely Representing a Social Security Number (SSN) is an act of providing an incorrect SSN to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or any other government agency, financial institution, or employer. It is a form of identity fraud and can be used to create a false identity, conceal an individual’s identity, or commit other types of fraud. There are three primary types of Falsely Representing a Social Security Number: 1. Fabricating a Social Security Number: This type of fraud involves creating a completely false SSN that does not exist in the Social Security Administration database. 2. Misrepresenting an Existing Social Security Number: This type of fraud involves using an existing SSN that does not belong to the perpetrator. 3. Altering an Existing Social Security Number: This type of fraud involves changing an existing SSN, such as by changing a single digit.
