Medical facilities (doctors, dentist, testing facilities) when you make a new appointment. I always decline until I am at facility with written paperwork. But many don’t.
The only facility that does not require full SS# is “VA” facilities, and then is only “Last Four”.
Most commonly you will hear in TV more CC# blurted out while in public talking on a phone. Maybe it’s a certain older age group, that doesn’t think it could be a problem. Then at that age group is also ripe for the phone scam “your grand______ is in jail send money” or you just won $100,000 send gift cards to claim.
This post was just a heads up on even though TV feels safe, one really needs to keep up their guard, even in your own lanai.
