Hi, i've been reviewing information about the online verification process, an specially about online fraud. In your system, how can i be sure if a communication from you is legit?
Ok. The most of the email from social security will have away to verify them. The most common one  is the .gov extension in the email address, so you better check that out when reviewing any mail regarding social security.
Have you received any mail which doesn't end in .gov?
Yeah, i have received some of those, that's why i'm asking.
Very well. I'm sure you have taken the right measures, but i must say to you to be cautious before any suspicious email. Do not open any attachments or go clicking any link. The current social security addresses are no.reply@ssa.gov, suscription.service@suscriptions.ssa.gov and thankyou@ssa.gov.
Umm, better write that down. Say, the other day i was told that i should create a social security account online, but i don't understand those process very well, you could give me some option?
Sure. If you are unable to create an account online, you can always visit your local social security office to create an account in person.
Ok, that's good to know i have options. Say, i'm pretty sure about what to do, but anyways, what should i do if a receive a suspicious email?

Yes, In accordance with NY State law anyone using this method has to apply to DMV and sign an agreement identifying their permissible use under the DPPA. Searches cost $7 each.

Searches are also done by employers who are required by monitor their employers driving records.
Why to Insurance Companies need this information, I can give it to them myself?
If you apply for insurance online you would expect a rate quote within minutes. To do this insurance companies need to have access to your information instantly. To provide this kind of service insurance companies need access to DMV information so a direct pay-per-search service has been provided to companies. They are able to check your driving history and therefore provide you with a quote almost immediately.

If you feel the information is not correct you would have to purchase your driver record and send it to the insurance company before they could issue you with a quote. This practice would slow down the process and probably be very inconvenient.
