Are there work from home scams where they are really phishing for your social security #?

I’m just wondering – if I gave my social to some work from home company – what could they do just having that and my name? Are there very well set up scams out there just phishing for personal information? What does a person do if they make a mistake other than call the BBB? There’s already a caution out on my social – so they probably can’t do anything anyway right?
I gave my address name and social and I’m just wondering – what do I do if I made a mistake. I found out that there is a listing with an F rating in Corona for this company – meaning that they are conducting fraudlent business practices or expecting people to work and then terminating them after 4 hrs and not paying. If that’s all if is – then I’m not too concerned but if they can steal my identify – I need to know what to do about that scenario.

Most are scams, but usually looking to fleece you of money, not for ID theft.

With name and SS#, they could potentially start some ID theft. Is that all you gave? No birthday or address?
