I’ve personally seen it numerous times and it’s frustrating.
I meet with a person of Mexican descent to sell him some equpiment for his shop. I spend hours with him going over specs, doing CAD drawings and filling our paperwork. I run his credit app. and his SSN is invalid. I ask him if he knows his SSN is invalid and he says well yeah because I’m an illegal. I can’t therefore get him financed and I lose the sale when I could’ve devoted my time to someone else. The worse part is they throw it in your face as if it’s not wrong and it’s bullshit.
