Id Theft Accounts - Iowa Consumers

From: http://www.bbbonline.org/idtheft/stories.asp

Article #1:

"A sales person who identified herself as a 'manager' and who was working in the return sales area was presented a check for payment of merchandise. She asked for my social security number, and I told her I did not want my number in the store system. I offered to give her the 'audit number' on my driver license instead. She refused to complete the sale without a social security number. I left the store without the merchandise. My concern is about IDENTITY THEFT. Anyone with a social security number, bank account number, etc. is well armed to steal a person's identity. I think that the practice of requiring social security numbers for store sales transactions is an unnecessary misuse of a social security number and an invitation to identity theft problems! This problem occurred on August 12th at approximately one PM." (This story posted online on 01/26/04)
