I always answer with the salary I want to be paid for the job. Let them know up front where I expect the salary to be.

That is a mistake when they later ask you to bring in a recent pay stub.

No legitimate employer would ask for paystubs from previous jobs.

Indeed, and you can avoid the ones that do this by never divulging your salary history. You definitely don't want to lie about something that can be so easily checked.
