It also goes without saying that if someone is asking you to give your social security number, credit card information or other personal information over the phone on a first-time sales call, you should be extremely wary and cautious. And, once again it goes without saying, you should not do it.
Giving out such personal information on a first-time sales call is very dangerous. It is one thing to give out such information to a recognized and respected vendor even if it is over the internet (such as amazon.com), but it is another matter entirely to give out such information to an unfamiliar party.
Therefore, if a telemarketer is asking for your personal information and you are not familiar or do not recognize the vendor, it should be obvious that such information should not be released.
