My advice is don't give too much personal information away (especially your home address), unless they already have it.

Can I have some too. Did a market research session once for a market research organisation which turned out to be FORD though they wouldn't admit, they were trying to come up with a new car (Fiesta) to compete against Peugeot 206GTi and Clio sport. An interesting experience even had to drive my car on a route with one of their engineers in the passenger seat taking notes.
