If you can't see them face to face then that kind of sponsorship might not be worth it.
Otherwise they'd have to be a really well known company for me to consider sponsorship with online or by mail.

yeah on full sponsorships you usually meet with the company or atleast one of their distributors, look over contracts for shows to work or compete in and then you get full sponsorship without paying a dime... that's mostly the reason I said no to it cause he wanted $79 to get my contract to the "lawyers" and then back to me

I wasn't talking about sponsorship applications. Mail order sales in general. That's how the companies get payment info every single day. People give their information over the phone to place the order. 95% of the orders I take at work are done over the phone, and done with a credit/debit. No one will EVER require a SS# however.
As for sponsorships directly with a company... Sometimes they do require payment info. This is in case you do not live up to your end of the agreement.
pay me $80, i'll send you all the decals i've gotten from buying s*** over the years... i have a good pile of them.
When I come down and drive through the states, every full minute you're in my DVD of travels, you'll get $100. Of course if you appear in 10 45seconds shots, you get nothing
sound like a deal?
*this was just to stress the point that the phone call you got was a scam...

HorsepowerFreak gotcha (wink)
the only reason why I brought up ss# is just an example, not neseserally sponsorship companies but giving out info over the phone in general.
Regarding passing over the cc# over the phone...I guess it just deppends who you buy from. I mean, if company has a really good reputation then yea. Just like with SPD-racing. When I ordered something from Chris I gave him my cc# over the phone, but only because I knew that I was dealing with good people, hehe.
Hope you'll find a better sponsor (thumb)
