Asking for SSN???

I messaged about fixing my internet connection and the representative tried to sign me up for a promotion. They said the total bill would be $33 a month. I asked to see the fine print and they sent me a form asking for my SSN. They then asked for my phone’s IMEI. I asked why they needed that and they said because the promotion is only for phone and internet together, and also the total bill would actually be $78. Disappointingly dishonest. I should not have to give my SSN to view the details on a promotion. 
Additionally, they did not address my primary concern which was that my internet is not working. They said there’s an outage in the area, but when I said that nobody else in my building is having issues they did not look into it further and continued to blame the outage.

SO what is this thing they are trying to set up for me. Something about 2 numbers on the same phone, would reduce my bill by $30  were going to send me $100 gift card. Gulzar seemed to really want me to fill out that form with my SSN and DOB.

All I was trying to do was get in to my email, I have had to reset passwords on all 3 accounts over the last few weeks for some reason. 2 of them gave me issues and had a hard time getting them done. Tonight as I was waiting the chat person wanted me to fill out this form for some sort of mobile thing.

I am not sure what they would have provided you. You can always object and just ask that the task you requested be completed. Were you able to get the passwords reset? We appreciate the feedback on the experience you encountered.

Yes I did this time, 2 days ago after an hour the person said they couldn't help me and and sent some ticket to someone and they would contact me with in 60 minutes, still have not heard anything from them, that person was not very helpful at all and repeatedly asked for information about my account and then would tell me it was wrong.

 At the end of each call it give the option to down load transcript but it didn't work that day or today.
