Moved to the US from the UK over a decade ago, my US-based bank still has my SSN as 000-00-0000.

Wow. Most competent places have at least SSN format verification to weed out one's like this.

And what does an operator put into the system when hearing "I don't have one?". Yeah, this. This is on purpose.

As far as I am aware, that SSN is technically possible. Years ago SSNs could be traced back to the state/location of birth by looking at the first few digits (mine is like that), but they were changed to be completely random a while ago.

I was at a bank-related company. At least 2% of our clients' SSNs had typos. :-( Sadz.
