Today Show Special on NB Social Security # Protection and Fraud

TrendyTina

Did anyone catch the Today Show this morning and see the special on how to protect your newborn from Social Security # fraud? My mom called me about it and said people are now stealing newborn SS#s because they are so predictable based on DOB and location and birth. Since most people wouldn't think to pull a credit report on a child, it often goes unnoticed and thousands of dollars can be charged under the child's name without anyone being the wiser.  Does anyone have a link to this story? I really want to watch it. Apparently they provided information about how to prevent this from happening as well. Thank you so much!  Also posted in April 2012
