Yes, and you would use your real social security number. They only check your social to see if it's a real social and if it's assigned to a living person. I ran my social security and they had different aliases and years of birth connected to it. That wasn't from me and I have no idea. It was never questioned. This is important - you can remove certain information from your credit report that shows up on a social security trace. You can remove addresses, aliases, etc. You don't know how people run background checks. All the employer gets back is a checklist of items and whether those items have been verified. They don't know how those items were verified. Most of the information used by background check companies are from court houses. Over the last few years, court houses have made it harder to run background checks because people were able to get personal information and commit identify theft. "In February 2024, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County announced the decision to remove birth month and year from its criminal name search criteria. Birth month and year was a critical data point used to verify identity during the criminal background checking process. This change now presents unique challenges for employers and Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) who are now struggling to run background checks. More and more jurisdictions are adjusting regulations on background screening processes in order to prioritize privacy. California often sets the precedent for regulatory updates, and states like Michigan are already considering similar legislation. This trend necessitates a shift in how employers across the nation approach the vetting process." https://fama.io/post/what-to-know-about-las-new-background-check-regulations When a background check company can't confirm something, like your employment at a company that no longer exists, they will ask you to verify with documents. All you have to do is create a fake W9 and that is as good as verifying employment with the actual employer. The potential employer is just going to see "employment history - verified." No, this won't work if you're required to get a Livescan. And you will need a fake ID and social security card when you fill out your tax documents at work. You have nothing to lose. If you're honest and truthful, then you won't get the job. If you lie and know what you are doing, then the odds of passing the background check is no different than if you didn't have anything to hide. |
