Search Google for your SSN and see if any sites have it posted there
mine showed up on some maze site there is a maze with the same number as my ssn #
I’d recommend against querying Google with anything you want to be kept private. When you search for something, and then click a link in the results, your search string is included in the referrer string. This means that any site you go to from google will know what keys you searched for to get there. So if you search for anything you want to be kept confidential - like SSNs or passwords - that data gets sent to whatever site you go to in the results.
So if you set up a googlebomb for “SSN”, so that any search key with “SSN” in it gets the phishing site in the top 10 results, you can collect SSNs, correlated with IPs.
Also, there’s the possible future problem of something like AOLstalker.
Any results you find, you could just retype into the address bar.
Maze here too. Only link that appeared.
Since there is no question here, let’s try MPSIMS.

Only one hit, a link to a flickr photo.
This is a bad idea. Google records every single search you make. You’re essentially giving out your SSN to Google, and anybody else who might be watching your internet connection(this is potentially a big deal if you’re on a wireless network, or somebody else’s network).
Would it help if someone Googled my SSN for me? I’d appreciate it.
It’s 123-45-6789.
To be sure its yours, I need your birthday
BTW, is it common or even prudent for very new users to start threads that involve people transmitting their SSNs? Something’s phishy. Everyone’s getting the same maze site I presume. Could that be the OP’s site? Is he tracking them somehow?
And your name, and your mother’s maiden name.
And your pet’s name, if you have one.
