Is it safe to give my social secrity number to the greendot prepaid credit card people?

Question

I am a minor, so it asked for my social security number, and my parents. When I called, i was outsourced to someone with a very thick middle eastern/indian/i dont know accent (not trying to sound racist) but is it safe to give my social security number to a real person in a different country?

Answer 1

Personally, as far as I am concerned, the cc people don't need to know my ssn.      check with other cc companies and see if they ask you for the same things before you submit..

Answer 2

Probably not safe.  Have you researched the company thoroughly?

Check it up on the internet by entering the name in a Google search bar, or check www.ripoffreport.com

When in doubt, do not give out any SSN information.
