Why do shows like to use the “Give me your Social Security Number” bit? If they give you the number will you be rich? Can you even access the account by just that number?
An SSN is a number assigned to taxpayers by the U.S. govt. They use it to confirm your identity, keep track of your finances and confirm your entitlement to disability/retirement benefits.
If someone steals that number from you they can steal your entire identity.
