<prompt> Human: A close family member recently asked for my SSAN for an annuity they have. This family member has a spouse and adult children as do I. They also have a high 6 figure income. In the past they have tried to get me involved with several MLM schemes they were involved with. Twice they tried manipulating me to get me involved. I have distanced myself since then.Most recently they got involved in a scheme involving insurance products. It sounded shady to me so I havent gotten involved yet again. Now a few months later they have asked for my SSAN. I feel very ill at ease over this. I understand how much damage they could potentially do if they tried to find my investments and bank accounts. This close of a family member I normally would trust more but with their history of these get-rich-quick-schemes and trying to manipulate me into them I am very ill at ease. A frank discussion would be a bridge burner Im afraid.Has anyone else had experience with this sort of situation before and what advice can you offer?Edit 1: If this was legitimate. Would a different type of ID work for an annuity that wouldnt be potentially as damaging if it was misused? Drivers license, passport number, etc?Edit 2 Update: I didnt have to have the discussion. My MLM family member didnt follow through with the request. When I talked with them, the need to have my SSAN had evaporated. Thanks for all the advice. Sorry this took a few days to get back on here. Work has been busy.  <response>: Do.Not.Do.It.
