Responding to "never give them your card #"

It is worth saying that there is a modification to this statement.

Never give them your card # if they call you.  

I enjoy the convenience of using telephone ordering of merchandise but 
I am careful to choose reputable companies and I am the one doing the 
calling.  Even this probably has a bit of risk but I feel it is minimal.

As for them calling me, well, I don't let them get far enough thru their
pitch to ask for the sale before the call is ended.
