Affiliate prgram and SSN

[SimpleDomaining]

got a question to affiliate program users.
People, i have been looking for an affiliate program to sign up, and since almost every program i see is requering my social security number, i just have to ask this question. How safe is to give somebody your social security number? Dont you affraid to give it?

If it's a reputable company, it should be fine. They need the # or tax ID for reporting taxed earnings.
