At the Macys store check out counter, I was asked if I had a Macys card. I said, " I think so, can you look it up with my phone number? '' This happens at many retailers and I give them my phone number. The clerk asked for my driver 's license and told me to follow prompts on the credit card scanner device, which included asking me for my social security number. In the end she said I do n't have an active account ... BUT THEY HAVE MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.
