<prompt> Human: I just got a text from my cousin saying that her financial advisor recommended she name a beneficiary who will outlive her. Since Im about 7 years younger she said she wants it to be me. I have no problem with this, but her text said she wants to call and get my social security number to get it all squared away. Im very close with my cousin and I know she would never try to scam me, but Im worried because there is a financial advisor in the picture. Is it normal for a financial advisor to need my social security number in this scenario? I dont have any more details at this point because I havent spoken to her over the phone yet, but I wanted to ask this question here before going into it. TLDR: Does this situation have scam written all over it?  <response>: This is a standard practice for naming IRA beneficiaries.
