He brought out the equipment and then asked for the first 5 numbers of my Social Security number. I told him I didn't give that to anyone unless they were hiring me. I was told I could not sign up for their service without giving them the entire number. We said goodbye at that point. Am I to believe customers in The Villages turned over that information to do business with T-Mobile? If so I understand why scammers like us.
Is a SSN required to run a credit check? I know cell companies do that before when signing up new customers.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
