I learned my lesson about this once. I accepted an offer at a company who wanted 10 years of my salary history.
10 years.
So I provided it to them, and one of the companies (who was out of business) could not verify my salary (Pay stubs were not enough, they had to talk to someone).
After this they said they may have "adjust the offer accordingly" and it would most certainly be less because the offer was based on my stated salary at the time.
As most of you are probably guessing, I declined their offer and withdrew myself. Ever since then when they ask my current salary, I don't give it to them.
