How do fugitives get a new social security and a new name?
Sometimes teenagers use fake ID/drivers license to either go to a bar, watch R rated movies, but you need a social security to live and work in the US. The Social Security Number tells everything about the person once you enter it into the computer, so if you get a false social security card and some one runs you into the computer you the results might come back as doesn't exist or belongs to some one else.

- One method that is common is that some people already here sell their SSN's, problem with that is their history now becomes the person who bought it, and vice versa.
- Yeah but I think they mail the information they probably would not notice that is a fake SS# until later, I guess?? Because only you and Uncle Sam Know UR social and have the right to hold information about it, they can't just give SS information to a Club nor Restaurant not even cops.
- Do you know how many people share the same name? It is very easy to get documents made and become legal. No one really checks these things unless you get into trouble with the law.
- I agree with Combatcop.
- yeah... but a lot of people have the same names. and you have a chance of people not running it anyways. its so easy to get one too. you just make one up. why do you think we have so many illegal immigrants here...? FAKE.
- I actually know how they do this and it is not that hard, but identity theft is not nice, even to people who no longer care.
- your a dummy and you didnt answer my question on my profile.
- Actually, as far as I know, your social security number only identifies you as a tax payer and wage earner. It might be used for identification in circumstances such as joining the military, opening up a bank account or other bank transactions. These things are usually not done by criminals. But technically, it does nothing to identify a person as a criminal, because in that respect it is totally unreliable. Only your DNA and finger prints are your own & can establish a criminal record. People steal others identities all the time without regard to the fact that they'll be caught. Some people also have more than one social security number (illegally, of course) to collect benefits they are not eligible for,( such as unemployment, welfare, disability) sometimes while working at the same time, under a different number. They consider this crime as getting over on the system and think they will be pardoned. Actually, having a social security number that is false, stolen or having more than one number assigned to you is a federal offense and carries alot of jail time and in the case of an illegal, deportation.
- that's way too complexed... y wouldn't a "fugative" just steal someone elses I.D
- they would go to jail or they would hide from the coppers its because some places dont ask for your id ao liscense witch is stupid b\c they should! but if a fugitive were smart he or she would stay low for a long time and not get into any trouble. sometimes if they were wrongly convictred the gov. or police give themnew ids or they ask for protection!!!
- yeah you go into death records and find one that is reallllly oldd
- Your social security card does not have your picture on it. You could theoretically share an SS with your best friend. On paper, it would like your best friend works 80hrs a week, which some people actually do. Identity theft has a spectrum of ugliness that ranges from something harmless like a prank phone call to something serious like murdering someone who people will not notice if they're gone (think homeless people). If worried about the picture situation, then how about a baby? I recently got my passport renewed and the picture was of me when I was like 6yrs old and I was a grown adult with facial hair when I get my new picture taken. The human mind can get very creative, especially when the dollar figure increases.
- yea you would definetely get caught sooner or later
