I saw on TV this might not be good. But I don't trust the people on the screen.

So you don't trust people on TV, but you do trust Yahoo answers and anyone who asks for your ssn and credit card #s. What if somebody on TV asked for your #s? Why is your computer screen more credible than your TV screen? How do you know that all the people answering on Yahoo are credible? I mean, I'm credible...or am I? What do you use to determine credibility, and why is it that just anybody qualifies to get your personal #s?
Why do they want your numbers? So they can put money in your accounts? So they can give you good credit? You're being kinda gullible about all this...no, stupid. Stupid is what you're being about this. You need to be much more careful with your personal information. And you need to be more discerning when you're determining who is trustworthy. Everybody isn't trustworthy--you need to have some guidelines to figure out who can be trusted and who is trying to take advantage of you.

uuhhh ok are u that foolish???? yea its foolish cuz u could get your identity stolen. it happened to my dad a couple of weeks ago its a pretty scary thing! and if someone has ur credit card # they may not be able to go use it in a store cuz obviously they don't have the actual card but they can go anywhere online and just put in your number and buy whatever they want. unless u want to be in debt 4 stuff others bought then don't do it.

You better belive it!
This question is BS; you know you shouldn't do that. Those numbers are "who you are." If some creep gets those numbers and knows how to use a computer for no good, he can "become you" and drain your bank account, buy things on-line and charge it to your credit cards, write threatening emails in your name, et cetera. He can do all kinds of bad things and YOUR NAME is on all of it.
DON'T give out these sensitive numbers unless you want a passel o' trouble that will take a lot of time and money to straighten out.

The fact that you are asking this question indicates that you know this is foolish. I don't believe that you really do this. However, if you really do, just save a step and send me all of your money before others steal it from you.

For real? You must have a overblown opinion of yourself-go get a life.

If you have really bad credit and can't buy anything.
You own nothing and have no money in the bank.
then it would be okay.
If you do then its pretty stupid.

Some once told me that "Advice is what you ask for when you know the answer but WISH you didn't" So I know that you know the answer to this one
