I was reading in the AOL news portion of the site that 1 social security # belongs to more than 1 person. Kind of crazy?! Not really, identiy theft is huge & duplicate ss#s is no surprise. There are obviously ways to find out if yours is one of them such as checking your credit score & calling the credit agencies if you see anything wrong. Also, many people have more than 1 social security # due to name changes, errors in recording, & other factors.
There's a neat little tool I found to decode what your social says about your location/age. :)
The higher the first 3 digits are, the further WEST the SSN was issued not necessarily where you were born. The next 2 digits represent WHEN the ss# was issued and the last 4 digits are numerical order.
Want to find out yours? Click Here. Don't worry, you won't have to enter your # at all!

LOL, I read that article this morning too and was gonna post on it but got sidetracked by vids. :P
lol Funny! I liked the fact that you can tell the location by the 3 digits.
Back in high school, someone told us about the social #s being decoded but we never quite figured it out at the time. lol So here it is! :)
