It is very dangerous if someone obtains your ssn# they can steal your identity and commit credit fraud by opening up accounts in your name and destroy your credit.

With /just/ the 9-digit number, they can get a job, take out loans and so forth with thier own name or an alias. The name mis-match will keep it from getting too far out of hand.
But, with your name & birthdate (which, they might very easily get), as well, they can commit identity theft - taking out loans in your name which you will be liable to pay back, unless /you prove/ identity theft.
