What kid of fakes? As in non-existent, belonging to deceased, what?
Do they recycle SS#? After death? I have heard the way a lot of people get phony id is to find someone who died as a child and was the same sex and approximately the same age and use their name and either their SS# or get a number if they did not have one.
I absolutely am no mathematician, but what are the total number of SS#'s that could be 'made' from 9 numbers? Has anyone ever done the calculation?
Not issued numbers. Some offices never issue anything close to their maximum number, others habve multiple numbers.

Most illegals are not that sophisticated. Also, birth and death records are getting better-correlated. It worked better in the 1970s, before everything was computerized.

There can be 1,000,000,000 SSNs.
