Reply #9: You can get one from the other very easily.

If you get someone's DL number, you can get their SS# (since most credit forms require both)... and visa versa and frightenly enough, much of this information is accessible. Pretty much any PI can get this information for you for a price.

That DL Match you talk about (which is technically done by the credit issuing bank) isn't doing what you think it does. It is just checking a very simple algorythm. If you crack the algorythm (which isn't THAT difficult for a professional) you can make up DL #'s that will pass that "check". If it is a "stolen" DL, there is a second check, but it takes 30 days before any license makes it into that file....

So... if you get a license, you have 30 days to go crazy. From the DL# a pro can get the SS#... then pull the credit report. Run it through the algorythm... memorize what you need and go on a spending spree.

You will find out if it was fraud in about 90 days.
