Most identity theft in this country is because of the misuse of SSN.
If you think like a lawyer there is always another lawyer in the opposition totally disagrees you....

You're being terribly naive in your statements. For anyone who's doing a large MS volume, I'd advise being truthful in your statements and how you represent yourself.
It's just like if you get pulled over - "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" Your first inclination would be something like "well I was doing 45 in a 40" hoping that being honest and only speeding a little might get you out of a ticket. Well guess what, you just admitted you were speeding.
"I'm not doing anything wrong, just trying to earn some points/miles/cashback, there's nothing illegal here". "Then why were you using fake SSNs?" There goes your "I'm not doing anything wrong".
