What are current issued SASS numbers up to?

[Chief Rick]

Could a person who joined the Wire in 2018 have a SASS number in 109xxx-110xxx range?

[La Sombra]

Hint: I joined in 2019. My number is 108xxx. So more than likely not possible.

I joined in mid 2020 and have a 110xxx number. 

[Idaho Gunslinger]

Shooting SASS and joining the Wire are different things from joining SASS. 

 

My local MD has a 110xxx number but he has been on the Wire and shooting CAS for years before me.

Numbers were not issued in exact numerical order.

I joined in early 2018 and was given 107xxx.

Dang Young Whippersnappers! 

 

I joined Jan 20, 2004.  SASS number 48563 Life.

 

Life was cheaper back then...

It's possible.  Thanks.

There are scammers that try to act as though they are members of this board. It’s just a little step to remove the information they can use to emulate me. 

[Abilene, SASS # 27489]

Back to the OP question.  If you are trying to find out if a person is a legitimate SASS member, I'd say that number is close enough that it might be possible and so I'd use other methods to try to verify.

Must be PERSEC.  Let's see, I joined in 1987... but had been shooting since 1985... Oh, wait!  SASS didn't start until 1987.

Because I'm familiar with you and your posts, I'd not question your signature or whatever that section is called with your SASS number.  I never even noticed you had an xxx in your SASS number.

 

That said, if I were not familiar with you and you were trying to sell something, and I noticed, I would question it.  And I wouldn't go to you to verify your information.  If you're trying to hide something in plain sight, I wouldn't trust you to tell the truth in private.

I did verify by other means and as I said, it's possible.  This was a legitimate SASS member/number.  Nothing else needs to be said from my perspective.

With all the fake scam accounts on here a bunch of people have changed their SASS number to have xxx on the end. 

 

Now if you contact someone in a PM they can give you the last 3 digits and you can confirm them with SASS HQ to confirm you are talking with the real deal.

Just a thought, must include a picture of the badge with the date written across it on scotch tape?

That would work, but I'll bet there's a lot of folks who have no idea where their badge is!

That's a good idea but AI is getting pretty good at creating fake pictures easily. 

[Rip Snorter]

That is the reason for the tape with date - no expert but I think the combination would be difficult for AI, both the overlap and handwriting.  Don't know, but If I am making a private purchase of any consequence, I check it six ways from Sunday.

Not directed at you...

 

As I said, if you're hiding something in plain sight I'm not going to contact you to verify you are who you are.

 

My personal opinion, if you want to sell something on the SASS Wire classifieds section you should HAVE TO SHOW your WHOLE SASS number.

 

If you're afraid to do that, then don't try to sell anything and just put "Guest" for your SASS number.

I saw a number issued last week and it was in the 114,000 range

You can join the Wire without being a SASS member...therefore the relationship between SASS number and Wire Joining Date are not related.

You are right, I also see a lot of users with guest instead of numbers.
