You still tell that to the company. Then they think that you are scrupulous and honest.

If they tell you the clause is not enforceable, you can still say, "That's interesting, but I'm still not comfortable. Perhaps you'd pay for me to consult with an employment lawyer of my choosing to have a third-party verify your claim."

In reality, it's all smoke and mirrors. You just have to have a reasonable sounding excuse for not disclosing; they can't push without looking like a jerk.
