Little to no information on this company, not even on google.

The "About us" button on their webpage does not give you jack for information.

Probably a terrorist website gathering information on Special Forces soldiers, if not it's sure a scam website.

The webpage soldiers use to imput their personal information has NO encryption or security set up.......most likely a scam website for sure.

Here's a laugh, do a Google search for the companies address.........

7491 N Federal Highway, BOCA RATON, FL

just imput 7491 N Federal Highway and search...... what a scam.

This website is asking security classifications, all military experience, all bio data and the website is NOT SECURE.

yea looks like bad stuff...i checked with several guys that have the www SOF job postings net down tight and they said they'd never heard of this.

Yeah, as soon as I went into it and saw that you had to give your full name address etc. just to get a user name and password, the red flags went up.

Another thing to keep in mind is that even if a site had an SSL certificate setup, it doesn't mean they a legit. In fact many site that phishers setup use SSL certificates to appear legit to the unwary; anyone can setup an SSL certificate with whatever info they want in it.

Roger, good copy.

It would at least appear as a backstop to their scam if they had one.....
