For what is that number going to be used? Are they going to adjust an offer based upon your previous pay? F that. Would you date a gal who asked to see a picture of your ex's before the first date? HR people are nutz.

I'd stongly suspect that it's a sign of how things go within the company. You're not even hired and already your word means nothing. Show them the info to put your own mind at ease then 'Run, Forrest, run.'
