  10.       Certain types of computer-related fraud, such as creating dummy
  11. entries in payroll databases, require the creation of a false Social
  12. Security Number (SS#).  Many employers attempt to detect "ghost" SS#s
  13. by running a verification program on them.  In this article I will show
  14. how to defeat verification by creating a legitimate-looking SS#.
  15.  
  16.       First, some general rules to follow:
  17.  
  18.       o      The middle two digits of a SS# can be odd or even
  19.              if issued after 1965.  All numbers issued before 1965
  20.              that have middle digits of 10 or above should be even.
  21.  
  22.       o      So far, no SS#s have been issued with a first digit
  23.              of 8 or 9.  Very few numbers above 595 have been issued,
  24.              so use caution.  700-729 were issued by the Railroad
  25.     }etirement Agency a long time ago, and thus would belong
  26.              to older people.  No numbers in the 596-626 have been
  27.              assigned yet (as far as I know), but 596-599 has been
  28.              reserved for Puerto Rico, 600-601 for Arizona, and
  29.              602-626 has been reserved for California.
  30.  
  31.       The next step is required only if it is necessary that the place
  32. of issuance (and thus, probably, state of birth or residence) match the
  33. SS#.  In this case, refer to the following table:
