Thank you all for you input.
I had read where some consider the SS# the Mark of the Beast.
I thought the whole thing sounded suspicious.
Not only does this client susposedly not have a SS#, he also doesn't have a bank account and is going to pay for the home in cash.
It's a foreclosure home, and the bank that holds the morgage is insisting the the purchasor have a letter from the bank saying he has that much money. So he has to open a bank account to get the letter....which you have to have a SS# to do.
hmmmm.
Now I'm thinking maybe it's drug money.
