For my cable company I asked why they wanted it. For a security check when
you call in was the response. Does it need to be an actuall social
security number? No, just something you can remember when you call up.
012-01-0123 I replied. They were quite happy to use that as my "Social
Security Number" in their database. As far as cable goes they don't want
your social security number. I wonder how many others would be happy to
substitute something.
