    Ever get scammed at a bar.

    I was at a bar in the East Bay last Friday, Club Mallard, and two guys with thick touchpads were walking around giving out lighters; they only asked for your name and social security number in return.

    These guys showed up around 12:30pm when everyone was pretty well lit.

    ID theft scam or legit business?

        When you walk around the french quarter in New Orleans, there is a scam like that on every block.

            When you're pretty drunk and everyone is doing it, you don't think about being scammed.

            I don't smoke and thought it sounded phishy.

                  So you think it is a scam? A friend got the lighter but doesn't know if he gave the right info.

                    What would any legit marketing firm need your SS# for. Doesn't sound good.

                        I thought it might be a variation on ethical hacking. They don't use the info to setup an ID but sign you up for credit cards, etc.

                                Philip Morris has reps going out to bars to solicit smokers to get on their mailing lists. Since the govent has made it very hard for them to target smokers anymore. They will give out incentives to smokers (i.e. lighters, free packs) but they must verify age before doing so.

                                          I'm pretty sure they don't need your social security number to give you a free lighter, maybe your birthday but not your SS#

                                                      That sucks. You need an ID number for a drink.

Since the govent has made it very hard for them to target smokers anymore. They will give out incentives to smokers (i.e. lighters, free packs) but they must verify age before doing so.

                                                          I have about a dozen of the zippos they hand out, they have been hitting the bars in Philly for well over a year now.
