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.

looks shady

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.....
