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.

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 .

No way in hell I'd put my SSN on it. There's already enough crooks out there with it, including the IRS.
Run - don't walk - away from that.

Someone sends your wife a form to renew her license. and do all the work for her, for a mere $7 fee.So my wife hands this to me the other day and asks, "Is this a good deal?"
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.
