[Marco2013 0]

I will soon receive my real SS# ,but I've been working with a fake one,how can I go about to change with my work ? Just tell them my SS# changed ?

BTW: The SS I've been working with is a made up number doesn't belong to nobody.

Tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

isn't that illegal? how do you know this "fake" number doesn't belong to anybody?

Have fun trying to explain that one to your employer. Social security numbers NEVER change. Ever.

I also want to know how you know this fake number isn't one that just hadn't been issued yet? Even if it was a random guess it is always a possibility.

Poor guy that gets that number in the future....

You committed fraud, it will catch up with you. No one should assist you with continuing fraudulent activities.

Leave that job and never return. Hope that this doesn't kick you in the azz soon. Good luck.

Those suggesting that SSN numbers don't change are incorrect. They can be reassigned.

To the OP: I'm not sure this is the best place to get advice regarding this issue. You should get some privileged legal advice.

Ok - They can be under very certain circumstances, which from an illegal one to a legal one does not fall under this category.

I agree though, the OP should really look for legal advice.

The Identity Theft Resource Center does not normally recommend that you change your Social Security number.

But, this fact sheet will help you make an informed decision – should you get a new Social Security number (SSN) or will a new SSN create more problems than you have right now? When your identity is stolen, an immediate response is to get new credit cards, close bank accounts and completely separate yourself from your current identifying information. In some cases, those steps are warranted. For instance, if the perpetrator has already tried to take money out of your checking account, you should change your checking account number. If the criminal has applied for a duplicate driver’s license under your name, you should ask your state Department of Motor Vehicles for a new number.

Changing numbers in the above situations is fairly easy. However, since many identity theft cases involve the Social Security number, some victims express a desire to apply for a new number. While it might seem to be a logical step, getting a new Social Security number is fraught with consequences, not always apparent at the beginning.
