Listened to Kim Komando last night. She got a call from some poor dumb guy who said he entered his personal data into a spam mail that promised a cash advance -- gave them everything they asked for bank account #, personal info, and his SS#!!! She gave him the bad word -- his bank account plus his personal identity had been compromised and told him to contact his bank immediately (of course its a holiday weekend so won't be able to get in touch in person until Tuesday). Said he would probably need to get a new SS# also.
a new SS#? is that even possible.
