I won this contest for a video I made during Halloween. It was a tough competition and actually won. Once it was declared I had to go through several papers before I can receive the prize.
The papers are...
Affidavit Form http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affidavit
W-9 Form http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-9#W-9

I know most will say no its not right and unsafe for you. What if I show you the site? I won the HALOween Contest. I made a movie at the site www.machinima.com This site is well-known in the gaming world.
Also, if you can give a good reason why social security numbers are needed as well as the W-9 form, please explain.

Here's the Contest description
