jumping the border
 

i just recently bought a engine and trans from canada and they just recieved my payment today. he calls me up so i can repeat my info and then he asks for my social securtiy #. He told me it was for customs so they know were the engine is going. So like a piece of shit i told him without thinking twice. Is this true that he needs my ss# and if its not what should i do to protect myself? Im only 15 so i dont think he will be able to use it yet but what happens in 3 years? thanks for the help and save the "you fucked up" comments. thanks

by the way he knows my address and my full name.

Sounds like BS my friend. How did you pay for the engine? And did you pay a company or a person? Call these guys: (202)354-1000 or 1-877-CBP-5511 Monday-Friday, between 8:30 and 5:00 Eastern Time. They'll answer your question. It's border patrol customer service.

i made the cashiers check out to a company

Well call one of the numbers I gave you before. They are tied in with national security. So if the guy wanted your SS# to steal your identity, they will do something about it. I'd call ASAP just in case.

yeah im calling today

yeah they said that they dont need it and all i can do is pull up a credit report every few weeks but what about my bank accounts?

i did something similar. my mom called a company, and they put a freeze on my credit so if anything on it changes, it will be flagged and looked into. sucks about your money, hope it all works out for you

So what happend?

engine is coming on monday between 8am-5pm and i locked my bank accounts and he really cant do much with my credit because im only 15 but once i turn 18 im ganna get my credit flaged as well. im going to call the transportion comp. tommorow and see if they used my ss# to cross the border quicker.
