Hi everybody!
Please I need your helpful advice!!!
I have visited lots of storefronts that sell mobile phones, phone plans and accessories. Right before purchase the system requires SSN (http://www.Yahoo.com, http://www.a1wireless.com etc)? Why is that for? To check customer's payment history etc or is that to check the real person the customer is or not? Moreover, what is the mechanism of checking the customer through the SSN? (I mean how is it done etc). Does anybody know?
I would be very grateful for any kind of answer or advice or a link to docs!
Thank you,
Stanislav Ivasyuk
