Alot of buyers will not give out their ss number even just the last 4 digits
Long gone are the days of an SSN being just between a person and the government. My card says not for identification purposes, but that hasn't been on newer cards for a long time. A persons SSN is easier to come by than their favorite color.

On the plus side it did create money for bluecheck..... their website states they are for ecig sites
I would not trust them with my information period. I bet you also have to agree to having parts of your info sold or replicated in some form or fashion. No thanks. Unless they change their business model to accommodate the consumer, I am not interested.
So glad I am set and don't NEED anything.

A lot of people are having a problem with providing the last 4 digits of ssn. I don't see where this is relevant in determining age. Also some sites are asking not only for a drivers license but want the license number also. Again, not relevant.
Electronically submitting Name, supposed age or DOB, and the last 4 of SSN returns true or false to the vendors software at paid age verification services.

Not all vendors are using the same software, sites that require that much information I will just stay clear of. There are major vendors using no non-sense software that just requires a picture or scan of an ID.

Anything requiring that much info I suggest everyone stay away from that vendor, in case of a breach they have 2/3 components they need to ruin your life (oh and a partial of the third).

People's SSNs have been so corrupted they have nearly rendered them useless. People don't want to use them anymore. So let's get rid of them for everything except what they were initially intended for. Which is (per our government)..

"The Social Security number (SSN) was created in 1936 for the sole purpose of tracking the earnings histories of U.S. workers, for use in determining Social Security benefit entitlement and computing benefit levels."

Better yet, give us the option of participating in social security (or not) so some of us don't need a SSN at all.

I have even heard that you can cover up your drivers license number before sending those scans or pics. And, although I think most states have removed your once required ssn on your license, I would cover that up also.

Here is the problem where there is a SSN a name and a DOB you can easily get an address. With that information I can have a new car delivered to my house tomorrow with all receipts going to a fake e-mail and have it delivered before you even have a clue. Happens everyday unfortunately.

Oh I agree, was just answering why they wanted them. Before they changed the numbering system knowing the name state born in, and a few other things I won't get into here along with the SSN master death file can get the number of possible numbers down to a relatively small amount computer wise.

Even the government realized this and have changed the easy to figure out format a few years ago.

Better yet, give us the option of participating in social security (or not) so some of us don't need a SSN at all.

Amen
