I've had one host ask me for that a long time ago. I picked up the phone to ask what it was all about and the lady was like 'nevermind, scammers usually don't pickup the phone, we'll drop that request"

She went on to explain they do it to try and scare off those that signup for hosting and bail on the bills, and a wide variety of other scams people like to run on them...

If you signup with some free email, are from a country outside of where the host's main business resides, or use names like John Doe, etc...that'll flag them to ask, and sometimes they just do it randomly to keep shit tight.

I'd host with webair even if they asked me for it. I've spoke to Mike on the phone and via IM, seems like a tight ship they run there.
