STOLEN Social Security Number? | This is What REALLY Happens

[@kvndreamteam]

FYI: the IRS reps will NEVER contact you by phone. If you're ever in trouble with them, you will get an official letter in the mail, instructing you what to do and if you have any questions, you will be calling them and not the other way around. Therefore, if anyone claims to be calling you on behalf of the IRS, be brave and tell that person to butt out... Pure and simple.

So wrong, if you live in California as I said in another post on this topic on this channel no government can help you, no joke, stealing identity is now a normal boondoggle for people who do not have the monies to thwart it because it has become an industry in and of itself to be protected by law, there is no other way to absorb it.i had to edit my post to add I am not sure whichever way we vote will change a Damm thing but i will vote trump and not more editing of our rights no one can tell if that will make a difference but at some point we as a nation will either use it or loose it, I gamble we use it.i suck right?

I have always kept my credit bureau accounts frozen. I unfreeze them when I know I will be applying for credit which is not often. Afterwards I refreeze the accounts. That should be standard practice for everyone. Leaving it open for businesses to constantly look at you and bug you to open lines of credit is lunacy. The whole thing is an invasion of privacy. I stopped getting all those credit card offers in the mail when I first froze. Get one or two credit cards and keep them for decades. Don't ever respond to those offers of a free this or that to open an account.

This is what REALLY Happens.😱😱😱Believe it or Not! In Texas years ago, my son's SS number was being used by some illegal person in New Mexico. The Texas law enforcement, the New Mexico law enforcement, the company which had employed the fraud individual, and the SS Administration were no help in resolving this fraud. IRS was trying to hold my son responsible for two yearly wages in two different States. Impossible to work those two jobs. Distance and time made it impossible to work those jobs by one person. No one would help. They don't CARE! The SS Administration told my son to get a new number which if he did, he would lose all pass years' contributions to his SS number. Unbelievable! My son kept his old number and only paid his taxes for his one job in Texas. We are target to more fraud by having a Hispanic name by illegals. Maybe if my name was Biden it would be different 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh, my son's SS number was used several years later. The IRS was more cooperating the second time. They don't prevent fraud with red flags in placed. They don't care! There is no way of preventing someone from using your SS number. They are just numbers. Just keep paying your taxes.❤❤

[@virginiamoss7045]

I'm no expert, but you can simply turn all your investments into cash like into a money market account. A small part of my IRAs are in such a vehicle. The thing is that you shouldn't panic like that; it's never good to run from a crash if you are talking about that being a downturn in the market. The best thing to do is to ride out the downs along with the ups; it's a proven long term strategy. If you mean a real crash, well, we're all screwed unless we see it coming in time to make the transfers before most people realize it. After it starts happening it's too late.

You can't take the money out of the IRA without incurring taxes and potential penalties but you can shift assets to safer investments like a money market fund within the IRA. As another commenter says that's not wise generally. You should consult a fee only financial planner.
