well i just know that's the german equiv

but wouldn't it be a problem if it gets banned

I mean the stuff with equifax was a big problem

Since people could make bank accounts with the numbers

you can easily buy them

for instance when you want to play a game

like black desert online used to be

you needed to get your hands on one

Thats just insane

In germany I didn't had too
