One of the many reasons I don't like to give references, social security number, date of birth, and so on to anyone except the end client hiring manager. I don't really care if the talent manager software has a required field to put last four of social security number. I simply don't trust random job postings to keep my information secure.

Would it help if I could query some IRS service to check what paychecks have been sent to me? Does this have a delay of a quarter year or more?

How do these people avoid getting the people they impersonated and or scammed in trouble with the IRS?
