Navy_Chief,
It's up to you whether or not to reply but, if you are even considering answering, I would ask for a written request on the letterhead of the firm doing the research and the full name/business address of the firm funding the research as well as her own full name and contact info. Then you could at least verify her story, or call local NRA chapters, etc. to see if she is legit.
Sounds like a winner there. I would want to know just who she was and what she was up to.
