Hi guys!
I just joined Hubpages and had a question about the registration of my account. I went to fill out my Tax Information and it asked for my Social Security Number. I do not feel secure just handing out my Social to just any website, or even a website in general. Is there any other way for me to finish registering my account without entering my Social Security Number? Thanks guys!

I can only suggest maybe emailing directly with our HP team HP is a business and for payment to occur, that # is required for their own business records. Maybe try faxing it to them? or email but that will be between you and the HP team. They are awesome
Well, I suppose that I am merely looking for legitimacy that this website won't do bad things with my Social Security Number. :-P
No, HP will not do bad things with your # payout does happen and is real.
If you want to be paid you have to provide your SS#. The companies to distrust are the ones that *don't* file their reports and pay their taxes.
If anyone has ever experienced a problem giving Hubpages their SS# I have never heard about it.

Let me ask you this question:“How many social security numbers do you have?”Unless you’re in the FBI’s witness protection program and have assumed a second new identity, your answer — like mine — is: “Just one!”But Obama is not like you or me.In a recent article for the Western Center for...

Should I give my Social Security Number?I was looking at the HubPages earing page and you have to fill out at W9 for the earnings which makes sense. I am just a little freaked out to put my Social on the Internet, especially to a sharing site like this. I just wanted to know what I should do.
