Got offered a strange job

Frankly I don't where else to go with this, I'm not a member of any other forum so, I'm hoping somebody here can offer some insight.
So yesterday I was browsing a job listing website (indeed.com) and came across a merchandizing position for a company named Strategic Retail Solutions, pay $10 an hour, so I figured hell why not apply. Link to posting here,
So about an hour after I apply a woman calls and says she is a representative of the company, and explains the basics of the job to me. Basicly what they do is that they would mail me stickers, and a list of products they want me go place them on at the local Walmart. The stickers themselves are like discounts and coupon codes. I'd get payed bout $20 a trip. Not much but not a hard job either.
Now here's the part that is troubling me. They want me to fill out an I-9, immediately. So they "can ship the stickers out ASAP." I can't find any information about this company besides their main page, has anybody heard of anything like this? Does this sound like a legitimate company or am I setting myself up to get my identity stolen?

Strategic retail solutions has a facebook page & some other information about their company. I would set up a an appointment to meet the person at their office or something first before giving them any personal information

There isn't an office anywhere near me, it's all happening over the phone and web. The lady I talked to made me an account on a website called natural insight. After I signed in it redirected to a page labeled strategic retail solutions under the same website. There is a list of project opportunities, completed projects. They have sent me a few forms and pictures. The whole concept is pretty neat and if it is a scam it's a well laid out and very intricate one.

Does Walmart know you are going to put stickers on stuff?

Haven't asked them yet. That's a good a point but I doubt a local manager would even know anything about it. *edit* It does say in one instructions I was given to go speak to a manager before I start a project.

Sounds like the squeeze isn't worth the juice.

Well I went and did it without sending any info besides my name and address. None of the managers Walmart recognized the company but the stickers worked at the register so it seemed legit. Pay ain't shit though I'm not gunna send my info for $15.
