The basic and obvious rule to most of us is to control the SSN and don't give out a correct one except when absolutely necessary. One of the banks in Minneapolis refuses to pay interest at all if you don't have your SSN on file.
All banks require this. Exercise for the reader: How does the bank verify SSNs?
