Basically they can have your identity, especially financially. \nSome examples of what they can do : \n\n1. Take out a loan in your name (especially online) \n2.  Open a credit card in your name \n3.  Get a job in your name ( increasingly used by illegal immigrants)\n4.  Access your already existing accounts and records \n\nSo it's really important to be careful and not let anyone have your social security number.  A good precaution is not to keep your social security card in your purse.  This is because, if your purse is stolen not only do they have your SS number but also your ID and any other information they would need to commit identity theft. \nIf someone already has your social security number, act as quickly as possible.   Contact the government for help and also order a credit report to see if any accounts have been opened.   Free credits are available for US citizens 3 times per year.   This can be done online. \n\nIf someone ever does obtain your social security number, this is a great site for help: \nhttp://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fraud/idtheft.html#What%20Can%20I%20Do%20About%20Identity%20Theft

Yes they do use other peoples social security numbers. (everyone who is involved with this particular community knows this for a fact) otherwise none of them would be working at fast food joints and other places that require an SS number in order to work. Someone could be using your number right now, so get a credit report.

You should treat your Social Security number as confidential information and avoid giving it out unnecessarily. You should keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Do not carry it with you unless you need to show it to an employer or service provider. \n\nYou should be very careful about sharing your number and card to protect against misuse of your number. Giving your number is voluntary even when you are asked for the number directly. If requested, you should ask: \nWhy your number is needed; \nHow your number will be used; \nWhat happens if you refuse; and \nWhat law requires you to give your number.

The visa must show you are approved for employment before you qualify for a social security number.  If it does, go to the SS office with your visa/ passport and another form of ID.
