His response (which he gave perm to share) was that this was an unusual company with an unusual approach. I don't know what that means but I reiterated that asking for personal info was odd and out of the ordinary and I was sorry I couldn't take part. He never said why they needed the personal info.

Unfortunately, we can only recruit US residents for this program. On retrospect, I should have noted that earlier. sorry: one more note.

Ammo Marketing is definitely an advertising/marketing agency, but this isn't a scam. Our particular angle on the marketing world is to bring in influential people to communicate directly with our clients and be engaged in programs. That's why the questions ask you about what you like to do, how you communicate and so on. Hopefully they don't feel too intrusive or odd. I hope you take a look at the questions and consider applying for the program. I can't reveal too many details, but I think it will be very cool and very fun. If you have any questions or concerns, feel completely free to send me an email at (gstein [at] ammomarketing dot com). Thanks for the time & space! Hello

Maybe it isn't a marketing scam, but it sure looks like one.

Too bad, I would have liked to view all the questions. A little unusual to ask for so many vital stats. Too bad, I would have liked to view all the questions.
