<prompt> Human: I dont know if this is the right subreddit for this, but I hope it is. My bank was just bought, and I had to go through the process of activating my new debit card. I do not own a credit card. They required the last four of my social to set a new PIN number, and I dont know my SSN. My mom told me I should start carrying my SSN card in my wallet. She told me plenty of people do this but I feel uncomfortable doing this. Isnt this how identity theft happens and some people get their credit screwed? Where should I actually place it?  <response>: Keep it somewhere safe. Dont carry it on your persons in case of muggingslost wallets, etc. Memorize your SSN.
