Personally I don't think it is bargain... Since you can do it for free on the FCC site... YMMV
Absolutely NOT ! Who's it from ? W5YI does a thing like this , but regardless who it is , it LIES . You can do this yourself on the ULS for free . Or , if you're a ARRL member , just call Newington and they'll handle it . In no case is a SSN needed , since every existing licensee already has a FRN , which serves the same purpose . Run away from this offer .
I won't question your Creator's wisdom , but you are responsible for your own actions .

OK, let me get my tongue out of my cheek! Yes, it was from W5YI. Obviously (or maybe not!) I already know the answer. I don't begrudge Fred Maia from making a living, but I am amazed that people would actually do this.

No way in hell I'd put my SSN on it. There's already enough crooks out there with it, including the IRS.
If he continues telling that lie about the FCC requiring a TIN , he may find his outfit's status as a VEC under review .Obviously , he has his own reasons ?? for collecting those .

Run - don't walk - away from that.

When you can do it yourself online at the FCC ULS database for free.
Nope. Not a good deal.
But thanks for the "Stray" -- I always need newsletter fillers.

Fred W5YI no longer owns the W5YI Group. He sold it a few years ago.
And yes, there are people who fall for it everyday. "This way to the egress!"
