Agree with Foxtrot.

Plus all the people that take the high road about never giving it out except for the original reasons it was intended are usually not completely truthful, unless they don't have a cell phone, never financed a car, a mortgage, rent an apartment, a credit card, a checking account, etc.
It is just one piece of a puzzle to steal your ID, at this point in the game, not that big of one.
