Response to naysayers:
Some of you are unbelievable. All the post does is encourage you to be careful with your personal information, to think hard about the type of schemes you are getting yourself into and to excersize caution and discretion with credit/financial decisions. So the only people whose parnassah is getting screwed by this are those that are relying on duping others to some extent.

I still think the lazy/greedy line is a bit strong. It just isn't the accurate label for most people who have done this. They are desperate and/or naïve, not generally lazy or greedy.
Perhaps it's all 4?

Lol at the DDF'er who's too scared to call me a hypocrite under his username. Easy to be a big guy when you're DDMS anonymous, isn't it?
I'll respond to the comment tomorrow when the post goes live unless you want to post it here :P

FYI, the link has already been posted on Whatsapp groups, so it might not actually be a DDF'er, FWIW

I figured it was self-understood that the point of DDMS proofreads is to get it 100% right before it goes public.
Perhaps in the future I'll make these closed to a few people.

I think this is the only one I've ever seen shared before it went public, probably because of the nature of the post.

I like the post. Hoping next up you'll post about the sites allowing ads for the get-rich-quick binary/forex trading BS.

Time to start compiling?
Some of them are pretty egregious in how they mix in irrelevant emotional stories...

Agreed. While I don't know how many followed through, every single one that asked me about it was more on the naive side than greedy/lazy. It stems from ignorance and the dozens of success stories they heard in the coffee room the day before.
Also plenty people have your social besides spouse and financial institution.
Employer, college, everyone in the medical field you ever went to, insurance agency, anyone doing a background check (before working with kids, government agencies, applying for a gun, car lease, landlord....)
Likely hundreds have access and can be just as unscrupulous (and they have).

Not to mention every Dr and dentist you've ever gone to that thinks it's necessary to ask for

No need for a college or insurance to have you SSN.
Either way, you also give them all your mother's maiden name?
